One is trying to tangle a ball of yarn into.a mess and the other is attempting to untangle it and knit a cardigan.

Building on this metaphor, one of my single biggest frustrations with the left is how many of them won't accept anything short of a fully knit cardigan; unless they get exactly what they want, they'd rather just hand it over to the tanglers.
