    Erm ackshually your obvious hyperbole was hyperbolic

    Also no. A candle can simply be put out if it’s burning you.

      How can we “put out” the harm that democrats cause when they cater to their rich donors? Come up with a better analogy. Handwaving it as hyperbole doesn’t make it any less of a terrible analogy.

        It’s not my fault you misunderstood a pretty simple analogy, but fine, I’ll do it without the analogy. There are two choices. One is bad. One is worse. Neither are good, but they are not the same.

          Your stupid analogy is very easy to understand, it’s just wrong in terms of scale.

            Hyperbanalogy

            It still holds for a campfire vs a house fire, or a small house fire vs a large house fire, or whatever scale you think things are. I’m curious how close you think the two paeties are though, because I don’t want to get sucked into a #bothsides discussion.
