We have to call it “freedom”: who’d die for “a lesser tyranny”?
Mignon McLaughlin (1913-1983) American journalist and author
The Neurotic’s Notebook, ch. 7 (1963)

I know it's just one corporate platform versus another, both hosted by legitimately yucky companies, but my job just switched to MS office from Google suite after 11 years. I used MS for several years at a previous job. I have a sense of relief. I never liked managing email, especially, with google. I never got to where I felt I could easily see what emails I had received in any organized way that worked for me.
Of course, I'd prefer not to be sunk into the AI/antiprivacy/educorporate swamp, but if I don't have a choice (I don't), MS feels like an improvement.

@BritishTechGuru more often than not, we're left to choose between the #lesseroftwoevils.
@DWTSquawk7600 @chris Without #RankedChoiceVoting/#InstantRunoffVoting, we will return to this same "win at the ballot box" by voting for the "#LesserOfTwoEvils" reality. Let's end that and restore #democracy. https://bit.ly/RCVProCon
MH: There's a lot of apathy today. People don't want to go out and #vote.
HST: And why should they? I felt that way, and I didn't vote for #Clinton in '96. I voted for #RalphNader. There's a terrible danger in voting for the lesser of two evils because the parties can set it up that way.

“How many more of these stinking, double-downer sideshows will we have to go through before we can get ourselves straight enough to put together some kind of national #election that will give me and the at least 20 million people I tend to agree with a chance to #vote FOR something, instead of always being faced with that old familiar choice between the lesser of two evils?”

@philip_cardella - agreed about Liz Cheney.
But what she wouldn’t do is allow for frivolous Hunter Biden investigations, or Fauci investigations, or most importantly prevent the debt ceiling to be raised. While not on ‘our team’ certainly better than the current #ShitShow.
It’s important to always choice the #LesserOfTwoEvils
In any case - the lunatics at helm would never vote for her anyway.

I’m serious when I say this: I don’t think the #DemocraticParty is all that useful, and I don’t like voting #LesserOfTwoEvils but…….for heaven’s sake #voteDemocrat today. We’ll fix this dysfunctional party with time and putting in the work, but we’ll never get a better world voting for the #GOPTraitor Party.
the lesser of two evils...
