The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" 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.

On the Trump crime stuff---I'm glad he didn't. Even now ---when Dems take Congress----IF someone *truly* wants to beat Trump? Do it with policy and tone. Do it on health care. Wages. Job security. When Trump or the new MAGA guy comes--- there will be a few less people who are angry, sad, scared, broke, etc and they will not listen to the message. And these people can go back to doing AM Radio shows with erectile dysfunction sponsors.

Well, it failed. Miserably. He thought his economic policies would make people forget Trump. It didn't work. Biden had the right ideas on the economy, but he had to remove the cancer.

I'm right.

As was Barack Obama.

As Was Bill Clinton.


You're wrong, and so were they. They were neo-liberals. They conceded the economic argument to Reaganism. They abandoned the New Deal and the Great Society and sold out America to corporate interests. All they had left was the culture and societal issues, on which Republicans won the argument in middle America. The Democratic establishment wants to double down on Clinton and Obama's neo-liberalism, and it will fail again.
