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.

That's now been replaced to a large degree by negative partisanship. Partisan voters aren't supporting their party; they are opposing the other party. The die-hard Democratic voter isn't motivated by what they love about the Democrats, but what they hate about Republicans (and vice-versa).

That sorta describes me. The Reps have crossed some red lines with me that the Dems haven't, so I vote against them. This is before they went completely BSC with the convict. He was another red line.

So I don't really have to pay attention to the candidates today. If they are "R" and support the convict, they are a no-go with me. Period. I also am very unlikely to vote for an anti-choice candidate unless they have some other awesome policy positions, nor a religious zealot (that's an automatic "no" from me).

But the Dems haven't really excited me since 2016 (Warren, Yang, Sanders...I really liked Warren).
