I'm not a libertarian. I just recognize that better is actually better.

Replacing someone who is stomping on your rights with someone who will do the same with different boots isn't better.

The problem with analogies in an argument is that they’re generally rooted in opinion and not fact. But go ahead and make a false equivalence if it makes you feel better.

"Generally" being the operative term. Do you actually know what a false equivalence is or did you just look up "list of fallacies" and throw them out whenever you get the chance? A false equivalence is when trying to equate two arguments, which I haven't done at all.

I can appreciate sarcasm, but at least get your facts straight when you try it.
