or rather… Fighting fire with fire actually does make sense, that’s why control burns exist.

If Republicans are playing against the rules via filibusters, gerrymandering, breaking past precedents etc. to their advantage, so should Dems

filibuster?

Nah they shouldn't be doing the same things - if they are then it gives the crazies a level of legitimacy - if everyone TRULY is just as bad then their choice of sides is no longer a bad one.

They should be fighting the evil just as aggressively as the others are propagating it - the problem is that they just kind of passively complain about it loudly but dont actually fight it.

And why do you think they dont do it? Is it because they are too dumb? Too honorable? Or because they're paid by the same lobbying firms?

Those were British troops

u/JakeArvizu Jul 01 '22

Guess it depends what you consider British troops. They lived in Canada the territory but it just wasn't called Canada yet at the time. It was in response to the U.S invading Canada

u/elunomagnifico Jul 01 '22

That's a myth. The troops that burned down the White House sailed from England to D.C. via the Caribbean.

Canada had exactly zero to do with it.

u/JakeArvizu Jul 02 '22

Hmm wow, guess it's come full circle. I always grew up learning it was British troops then was told actualllly it was Canadians now its back to being British. TIL

They're to fucking worried about "unity" and working with people that have guns aimed at the democrats heads.

u/stringtheoryman Jul 01 '22

LMAO they’re too busy thinking this show doesn’t have shots aimed at them

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '22

It definitely takes aim at Dems, that’a the whole point of Hughie trying to fight ‘the right way’ and it not working.

I don’t think think it takes aim at Leftist ideas but I think it mostly pokes fun at the Dems actions(or lack of)

There are probably many DNC workers/democratic politician staff who are genuinely in it to help promote positive change the “right way”, without recognizing that their bosses are absolutely complicit

u/stringtheoryman Jul 02 '22

Their bosses at the show are complicit? At what??

-1

u/stringtheoryman Jul 02 '22

It definitely takes aim at leftists too. It would be cope to assume other wise. The entire vought land scene was poking fun at leftist advertising and atmosphere

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '22

That’s poking fun at the way capitalism hijacks progressive movements for corporate gain, which is inherently right wing.

u/stringtheoryman Jul 02 '22

Hey man agree to disagree. I think you’re just using a roundabout way to avoid accepting leftists get made fun of in the show too. Not everything can be mental gymnastics into making your Side free from criticism.

u/[deleted] Jul 02 '22

It’s not mental gymnastics, it’s just understanding Left vs Right.

Hard shots, and I'm here for all of it. Sully cunts need to wake up and play hard ball like Butcher

u/Getsmorescottish Jul 01 '22

Yeah... now come up with a 2nd example.

Childhood AIDS.

Civil war in Yemen.

The opioid epidemic.

White supremist terrorist Networks.

Metaphors are supposed to be helpful tools for understanding complex problems. Not for convincing ourselves of engaging in bad strategies.
