"both sides" hardly seems fair in this context. If your spouse is drunk and about to get in a car and drive you absolutely need to win that argument.

- sneak 5y agoI am talking about the partisan-aligned culture war currently waging in the USA. It takes two to tango.
- DFHippie 5y agoThe problem with this analogy is that it takes only one to stop tangoing. It takes two to stop fighting. Curling up in a fetal position doesn't end the fight; and it rewards the party who keeps fighting until they are satisfied. If a rapist assaults someone, that person can perhaps bring the violence to a more rapid end by yielding to the rapist, but we don't hold the two parties equally at fault. We don't tell the victim, "It takes two to tango." I am not saying these are perfectly parallel situations. I am trying to get you to see how your account is simplistic.
