The evil of the lesser two

A situation where you’re forced to choose between two bad options, neither of which you want, but one is slightly less awful than the other.
Neither option was good, so I just chose the evil of the lesser two.”

It came down to the evil of the lesser two, and I still wasn’t happy about it.

I didn’t want either outcome, but sometimes you just pick the evil of the lesser two and move on.
A situation that becomes chaotic because you’re forced to do other people’s jobs, fix their mistakes, or carry responsibilities that aren’t yours — and you struggle under the weight of it instead of things functioning as they should.
This didn’t need to be a debatical, but here we are.
