French equivalent of "choosing between two evils" Is there a french idiom which has the same meaning as "choosing between two evils"? How do I phrase it if I want to say "it is like choosing between two evils"? Thank you :)

Tu peux dire : choisir entre la peste et le cholera. Avec un accent sur le e de cholera.

In French, we have this saying : "Entre deux maux, choisir le moindre." Between two evils, choose the lesser one. It's a famous quote from Cicero.

Not really. If I'm talking about politicians, I would say "je dois choisir le moins pire des deux" (I ust choose the "less worst" of the 2).

On dit "choisir entre la peste et le choléra" Choosing between the plague and -er, I don't know hoy you call it, but a pretty horrible disease.
