This bus is going in the opposite direction of where I'm trying to go. Why would I board the bus????
In fact, it could easily be argued that it would be in your best interest to do everything in your power to stop the bus
Metaphorical buses get the guillotine.
Real buses get nicer seats, better driver pay, and more stops and buses doing the same route.
Analogies are pretty great as arguments, in my experience. Bad analogies are obviously bad. And you can't use them against redditors because their answer is always "ArE You rEAlLy coMpARInG thoSe TWo tHiNGs?" Like, yes, that's the point of an analogy.
I find they are easy to subvert to whatever they want, they're good for explaining, but not arguing.
That's when the people throw the bus driver onto the street and take the bus where people actually want to go.
Right? This analogy is bad because there's no room in it for "I picked this bus and then my bus lost so now I am just sitting here sulking."
Nononono see taking that bus is going to make the uh other bad bus win
I'm so tired of stupid lib analogies trying to liken politics to contrived interpersonal situations
there are only two buses. both buses are going to hell! and you better get on one of them or else the other bus will win the bus contest and be declared the king of all the buses.
It's more a single trolley line with a lot of people tied to tracks at this point.
And you have a lever that changes the trolleys color from red to blue. And you would dare not to pull it?!
Me taking a bus straight to a concentration camp: “well, what are you going to do? I couldn’t wait for THE ONE!”
NONE OF THE PEOPLE SAYING THESE THINGS HAVE BEEN ON A BUS OR ANY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION IN 30 YEARS
Why are liberals obsessed with using fanciful analogies when they could simply discuss the real things themselves? (I know why)
I Drive the Bus That is Running Over Thousands of Palestinians Every Day. Here's Why That's a Good Thing:
In this essay, I will-
I can respect that. So I'm voting
. Critical support to Jill Stein though. I've loved her since I was a kid.Telling this to the kids getting hit with rubber bullets in a state run by a liberal governor in a city led by a liberal mayor.
Voting isn’t marriage - it’s public transport.
- under constant destruction in amerikkka
- has hostile architecture meant to make doing it as uncomfortable as possible
- the mayor is going to send in the national guard to make sure citizens must pay to do it and can’t do it for free
- melon husk is enacting a worse alternative by burying cars underground to make sure no one can do it conveniently
- the infrastructure is rotting, causing ecological disasters
- technically pete is in charge of it but he won’t do anything about the system except let it continue to rot
No matter how i try to plan my route online it takes me through the seventh circle of hell??
You know you're right when you have to conjure increasingly abstract metaphors and allegories to illustrate your point
Okay, but imagine Joe Brandon was a banana with a worm in it, but trump was a literal piece of human feces, and according to the rules of this scenario you absolutely have to eat one of them, no other options. Oh and the joenana is dipped in human feces, but it isn't itself feces, so obviously it's still better. Oh and the one you don't choose to eat now you will probably be forced to eat later, but that's still preferable to now, right?
Okay but imagine this banana is actually a bus going to Albuquerque. No one wants to go to Albuquerque, but the other bus, the piece of human feces bus, is going to Boise, Idaho. You're obviously gonna take joenana bus to Albuquerque
Okay but
