What is an argument that limits options to 2 opposite choices? False dichotomy, ad hominem , premise, or fallacyj

1 answer

The argument that limits options to two opposite choices is known as a false dichotomy (or false dilemma). This logical fallacy occurs when an argument presents only two options when, in fact, more options may exist.

For example, saying "You're either with us or against us" presents a false dichotomy because it ignores the possibility of other stances or nuanced positions one might take.
