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.

If progressives are having “unhappy thoughts” about supporting Harris, they seem to be mostly keeping them under wraps. They understand the danger to democracy that Trump represents.

Brian Ramirez is voting for Vice President Harris — even canvassing for her. But he’s not loving what she’s been saying as she tries to persuade moderate Republicans and independent voters in the final days of the campaign.

Harris has been courting voters outside the traditional Democratic coalition to try to win tight races in swing states by appealing to their concerns about former President Donald Trump.

But the strategy has dampened enthusiasm among some progressives, who feel she’s tacked too far right.

This is a tough environment. I think Harris is running one hell of a campaign.

I agree. I just don't entirely know why posters here affect to not understand why voters support him - for example, like in this thread suggesting that Trump voters should believe that Harris is going to fight for them, rather than Trump. They don't believe that, and they shouldn't believe that - because they want their President to fight against the Democratic positions that Harris would be fighting for.
