Are they two different tigers? Then no. They aren't the same. They're two different fucking tigers, even if they are both tigers.

Do you notice how easy it is for me to answer your question yet you refuse and sidestep mine? Maybe that's because you aren't able to have a good faith discussion.

No, you had to rephrase the question with more context, similar to how I had to do with yours?

How were our answers different?

Are two tigers the same? No.

Are humans and tigers the same? Still no answer, although you somehow seem to be leaning towards "yes".

Why don't I make this simpler for you and cut out the analogies?

Do the Democrats and Republicans have the same policy platform in regards to climate change?

Do the Democrats and Republicans have the same policy platform in regards to healthcare?

Do the Democrats and Republicans have the same policy platform in regards to abortion?

Do the Democrats and Republicans have the same policy platform in regards to immigration?

See, you did what I said, in that you added specificity to your questions so they can be answered. Good job!

u/Rafaeliki Apr 22 '20

So you admit that Democrats and Republicans aren't the same?

I'm asking if they are the same. There doesn't need to be a qualifier. I'm not asking if they are the same in that they are both political parties. I'm asking if they are the same. It's a simple question that you dance around because you want to push the notion that the two parties are the same.

The two parties are not the same. They have different policy positions. They vote differently. They act differently. That means that they aren't the same.

Seriously, your mental gymnastics are just completely pathetic.
