Why not?
As long as we are pretending "marriage" means something other than what it means, why not extend it further?
Once you throw out the actual definition, you have no standards by which to define it. What excuse can you come up with to stop at any particular point?
Actually, though rare, a few more societies in history have defined "marriage" as between a man and multiple wives, than have defined it as between two men or two women.
And remember, it only takes one state (or locality) to allow polygamous marriage, then the 14th amendment kicks in and all states must allow it, according to the Supreme Court.
The race to the bottom has started.
So what if somebody want to have two wives? How is that harming you?
You need to read up on what happens in societies that allow polygamy. Take most Arab societies, for example.
