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.

I understand the necessity of separating Harris from the Biden Admin, but even if she was "required" to suppress her own very good policy ideas to demonstrate fealty, there remains her own record expressed in her own campaigns before she was VP. Plenty to work with there.

That said, she cannot avoid criticism for her association with the results of the Biden Admin policies. She certainly would be taking credit for the Biden Admin successes, if there were any.


She can avoid anything that doesn't stick, and Afghanistan won't stick, no one believes she made that decision. Statements that she also makes in support of Joe can be used, but ultimately if those statements supported her boss's policies there's a good possibility they won't stick unless she reups during her candidacy. So she's looking good at this point. Try as you might, you still haven't got anything to stick - she's eluding you.
