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.

Maintaining focus this election cycle

I think it's important to stay focused on the big things. For me there is one - and only one - question that matters in this election cycle.

If I vote for this person, will we still have our Democratic Republic at the end of 2028?


Has anything changed since then? Does it matter than Biden had a poor debate performance?

What purpose does a debate serve these days, anyway? Debating has little to do with how you will perform in a public office. It's just a side show, a meaningless waste of time. We learn nothing about how the people will govern. They tell us obvious, blatant lies, over and over and over, and we swallow them. They yell and shout nonsense and we cheer. They try to describe how they would handle complex issues in 2 minutes or less and we yawn and boo and demand more shouting and yelling and name calling.

We're stupid to ask for debates, and the participants are stupid for participating in them.

Go back to what we know. Focus on the most important thing this election cycle.

Biden is an honest man trying his best to do an honest job to improve the country and make life better for everyone living in it. He genuinely likes people and wants the best for them. His past demonstrates this clearly.
Trump is a criminal out to do nothing but improve his own lot in life. He sees people as tools to use for his own benefit, nothing more. His past demonstrates this clearly.

Which man do you want running the country?
