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.

Taking it down is worse. Right now the concern is that the Democrats don't stand for anything. And you're going to eliminate the platform without replacing it with anything?

The platform document is what it is. It has a best-before date on it.

The DNC website says at the bottom "Copyright © 2025 DNC Services Corporation All rights reserved."
democrats.org - Where we stand

I'd search and replace references to "the Biden administration" with "Democrats", but, whatever, it's a quibble.

The thing is, there's a fundamental disagreement between various broad factions within the Democratic party over what the party should stand for. Those disputes aren't likely to get resolved any time soon, because there is no real mechanism for resolving them outside of a Presidential primary.

Thanks for the explanation. Makes sense.
