In the aggregate, polygamy grossly exploits women, and frequently leads to the forced marriage of underaged girls because of unavoidable mathematics.
This means a rational reason can be provided for banning polygamy, which differs from the irrational reasons given for banning gay marriage.
Thus, same sex marriages and polygamous marriages are apples and oranges.
Polygamy is illegal right now so this claim does not work.
You don't know what would happen if it were legal.
The only people practicing it are those who are in the shadows.
Nope. Polygamy is legal in several countries.
It exploits women and leads to children being forced to marry.
I believe you are making reference to countries such as the middle east.
Where they have a low and exploiting attitude towards woman anyway.
Correct ?
If polygamy is allowed, then women can have more than one husband.
There are dominant and magnetic women that tend to attract weak and insecure men like moths to the fire.
Have you ever wondered why polygamy never happens that way? It is usually one man many women.
"I suspect that one day the Democratic Party will support polygamy because, well, they have to because if gays can get married then so do multiple men and women. "
This fails as a false comparison fallacy, a straw man fallacy, and a slippery slope fallacy.
It also exhibits ignorance of the law, ignorance of the issue, and a lack of sound reasoning skills.

Correct ?
This may be a chicken-and-egg problem. Did polygamy lead to low and exploitative attitudes toward women, or did low and exploitative attitudes toward women lead to polygamy.
Polygamy in the Middle East has been around for millennia, so it may very well be the former.
