    No one is saying that the Democrats and Republicans are the same

    Lol what a joke. Fuck YES they are, and in nearly every single fucking thread. What a ridiculous lie to claim.

      it’s not that they’re the exact same, but the difference between a fox and a wolf is that the fox will lie to you and pretend to be your friend while doing the same thing the wolf does.

              first off, gross.

              second, the republicans were the wolves in the original analogy, sorry that it went over your head.

                Yeah and now you’re having to go over your analogy and rexplain it when the point was that you can make analogies all day and it doesn’t mean anything. Now we’re both idiots having to explain ourselves. What productive discourse we’re having.

                  i was actually borrowing malcolm x’s analogy:

                  The white liberal is the worst enemy to America, and the worst enemy to the Black man. Let me explain what I mean by the white liberal. In America there is no such thing as Democrat or Republican anymore. The surface differences which you think exist between those two parties - they have all integrated into the wolf and the fox. They do not belong to the same party. A wolf and a fox, in my eyesight, differ only in one thing: the wolf shows you his teeth before he bites you; the fox will smile at you and all the time he’s smiling, he’s moving in for the kill. You are safe from the wolf. He shows his teeth. But the fox - he looks friendly.

                  extremely funny that it went completely over your head though

            You literally just said “I’m not a both sideser and every thread isn’t full of people claiming that but here’s a dumb analogy for why both sides are the same!”

            Of course you thought your analogy was great. You would.

                The joke about Lemmy is that lemmings wouldn’t understand nuance if it bludgeoned them to death, and that comment is rich as fuck coming from you.
