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.

You'll never convince the base, like Dope or LM. He still thinks convict Trump's record/achievements eclipses Biden, even though it it demonstrably not true (as many others have pointed out many times).

Fortunately, elections are not decided by the bases of either party. They're decided by the independent and swing voters. Those folks need to be informed of Biden's accomplishments. Which the Dems are doing a poor job of. I'm more politically aware than average, though far from a voracious consumer of political news. And even I wasn't aware of some of the stuff Biden had done until someone on this board posted it. If I'm not aware, likely the average swing voter isn't aware, either. The Dems need to fix that, regardless of whom the final candidate is (e.g. Harris).

I read an article a few months ago that one problem the Dems have is that their accomplishments are often internal, invisible to the average person going about their daily lives. They are necessary, and important, but we -the public- don't really see them.
