> any freedom at all
It's not all-or-nothing. I'd rather have a choice instead of none.

I used to work adjacent to car financing. One of the "tricks" used in car negotiating is the "fake choice": "oh, you want to pay less for the car? Well. I can give you X OR Y for FREE!". Now you spend time thinking if you want X or Y, forgetting thay they are worth $200, and what you really want is $1000 less on the car.
Be careful with the "choice" you think you are making
Having only one choice is equal to having no choice.
Having only two choices isn't notably better, especially if both options are equally bad.
This is getting pointlessly non-specific. The world rarely has two equally bad choices and that description absolutely does not apply to american elections.
