[1.20f]Only bad policy speech options

I got a Policy Speech Event. And every single choice would suppress my current (and intended) profile.
On Politics, Democracy would have suppressed Autocracy
On Society, Government would have suppressed Enforcement
On Psychology, Mind would have suppressed Heart
I could of course Sidestep the issue. But it still feels like I wasn't given a choice to accept any of them.

Where is the bug here? Sometimes you have a dilemma. All your choices are bad and you have to determine what is the least bad option. That's politics.

All the choices are bad, so I could choose nothing but "stay vague". That seems like a bug - if everything is bad, there is no choice to be made.

Sometimes all the choices could be bad, like in real life. You can choose to stay vague and take a smaller word score hit, or you can choose a "bad option" but make it happen and keep your word score high. However, you improve a profile you don't want. Oof. I actually like that kind of choice.
Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to invalidate your feelings/report. However, a bug is when something is broken. This doesn't appear to broken but "working as designed" (WAD). You just got unlucky.
If you think every single time at least one choice should be positive then that's valid, but it's better reported as a suggestion not a bug.

Agreed; I actually like that one's best/only choice may still not be ideal. In the great game (imho) Old World, this can also be a...problem.

In my opinion "stay vague" is actually the worst, since I'd consider Word score more important than profiles in most cases. So for me it'd be a choice between one of those bad policy speeches.
