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.

She wasn't saying stupid things in 2018 and thereafter. Okay, she was saying things that you think are stupid,

Here's AOC in 2019:
“Now I’ve seen the inside of these facilities. It’s not just the kids. It’s everyone. People drinking out of toilets, officers laughing in front of members of Congress.”

Or how about this gem
To me, what socialism means is to guarantee a basic level of dignity.

Erm, okay.

Hey, if you guys want to annoint her your next JFK, I'm all for it!

Had she been a balding male, it would have likely been the same (assuming the same set of campaigning skills and general in-person charisma).

The balding middle aged guy would have judged to saying objectively stupid things much more than AOC has. For one, your party absolutely does not criticize minorities. It's such a massive Achilles' heel on their part because it ensures that whomever the Flavor of The Month is wholly unprepared for the job they're running for.

If you doubt that, I give you one Kamala Harris.

BTW, I'm looking to unload this tract of land I have in Enid. You'll love the view from there!
