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.

I don't know. I thought the main point of the "protest vote" is just to provide a way to signal extreme disapproval of Biden's handling of the Israel/Hamas/Palestine conflict. That is, it's a way to say "we are very unhappy with your policy here, President Biden". But when it comes to the general election, they would still vote for Biden.

Yes, that's the one being most talked about.

But one of the interviewees was a African American woman who was unhappy with the economy. She was threatening to not vote in the general election. I can understand she may be frustrated with aspects of the economy (her main point was that it was hard to earn enough working 40 hours a week to support a family), but to think that it will be better for her under Trump? That does not compute.
