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.

Rather, the various individual people who make up the Democratic party all have plans for doing things differently next time. But different groups within the party have different ideas about what they should do differently. There are no mechanisms within a political party for conclusively resolving disagreements in opinion about the future of the party except at certain times in the Presidential election cycle - and even then, it's still not always "conclusive."

So there's no way for "the Democrats" to answer this question, because there are a very large number of different Democrats who have different answers.


"The Democrats" generally coalesce around certain ideas, they push for certain policy ideas. They had a platform for 2024 and still have a list of issues on the DNC site, though it has not been updated since the 2024 election. That's bad in itself, in my mind. If it's not correct update it or take it down.

But yeah, point taken. Schumer and Jeffries are herding cats.
