The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Okay - but how long do you do that? Until November 2026? Have the country go without a national government for another year?

You were touting a deadline of November 21st yourself before you embraced the surrender as good politics. Would the democrats have been mortally wounded if they let the republicans trip over themselves for another couple of weeks? Given the increasing petulant venom spewing from Trump I don’t think they would have been.

You keep pointing to the polls while ignoring or downplaying the only poll that mattered. Voters voted for a fighting party. The evidence is plan as day. Prioritizing the message of notoriously bad polling data in the face of concrete evidence to the contrary is puzzling to me.
