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.

Again, you keep thinking that there's some entity that you describe as "the party" that just gets to decide who goes on the top of the ticket from a tabula rasa, and that BidenWorld isn't a huge part of that entity.

Welp, again. We get to see who's right in a few months.

There's no one on the board that is a better choice than Harris that will want to burn their political capital fighting to wrest the nomination in a sure-lose election year. None of them gain any upside from taking the bullet of stepping in and facing the likely loss except Harris, who kind of has to accept.

I actually expect the democrat to win; I'm not sure why you're calling it a likely loss year. Biden if he stays in is guaranteed near universally positive media coverage and Trump the presumptive nominee is guaranteed near universally negative media coverage...and that's the extent that the media bothers to cover him at all. Throw in the relative incompetence of the GOP in several key states like Arizona, Michigan and Pennsylvania coupled with Biden's money advantage and the dems' GOTV machine and you have a likely win.
