“Freedom is not merely the opportunity to do as one pleases; neither is it merely the opportunity to choose between set alternatives. Freedom is, first of all, the chance to formulate the available choices, to argue over them - - and then, the opportunity to choose” - C Wright Mills

Basically a summarization of one of the many key problems in our current system, you are given two extreme choices on a nuanced issue and must decide all or nothing on that issue, even if it goes against your interest or values. Almost every solution requires some degree of discussion and nuance, which is completely lost in this day and age.
