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.

From what I’m seeing brewing at town halls in red districts, the only message the Dems will need is “we’re not Republicans.”
***

If you are a typical American, who plays checkers - then yes, that is what you feel and you'd be correct.

And that will give you a win in Congress and even a 51% 2028 win -- there, are you happy? If all you want is to "beat trump" - then, relax ----He is doing that job for you.


BUT -- don't you want a decent senate majority?

Don't you want a 54-55% Presidential win, and a win that is of by and for a true smattering of America and not just coastal and yoga moms?

Doesn't a regime where you can truly reverse the SCOTUS, where you can truly do the things you believe to be right ---- interest you even a little?

Cmon AW you are one of the few Libs here who is a thinking person.

"We're not Republican" will get you a win. But you've already got that. Why not 1.)Make sure you don't lose that - -like you've done before .2.)Make sure it's a bitch slap of a victory an then ---be able to govern? Maybe have some Republican Senators govern WITH YOU, instead of letting one or two Red Senators own your Presidency?

Thus far you're being given some nuggets of Gold. Sadly, you guys aren't using them.
