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.

I will vote against any politician that invokes "culture wars". One word of "anti-woke", and they can take a long hike on a short pier, as far as I'm concerned. Same with stolen election BS.

I am live and let live, but do not think genetic males should be participating in female sporting contests, so that is a negative for any pols that are pushing that. But I am against discriminating against trans or gay people. It's not my thing, but they are still Americans and deserve the same opportunities as the rest of us.

I am a gun owner, and I am for gun regulation of some type. I have zero fear that my hunting weapons will be taken away from me, so any pol pushing the NRA bias has lost me.

The above are just a few issues. I also want rational debate on the national debt, abortion rights, gerrymandering, lifelong Supreme Court justice terms, ..............
We have plenty of issues in America, I'd like to hear political candidates debate these issues.

I really want to have at least 2 functioning political parties, think it's important that they keep each other somewhat in check. I would sincerely be interested in listening to a GOP candidate that will actually talk about issues and how he/she would attempt to handle them.
But any of this alternate reality BS that the bandwidth-hog candidates are spewing are a hard, hard pass for me.

I hope both sides can put out some rational candidates, but so far I see no reason to get my hopes up.
