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.

to get polarizing figures through the primaries, and then in the general election you have to choose between a communist bleeding heart or a fascist racist (note: exaggeration for effect). How many times have we heard people say they don't like either candidate?

Biden isn't a communist bleeding heart, even for effect, but the other guy is a fascist racist. :) I'm used to not having a candidate that suits me 100%, that isn't a requirement. One of the first things I do before I even look at a candidate is ask myself, "Do we need to go right, or do we need to go left?" And I look again. For much of my adult life we have needed to go left as we have drifted further and further right. So I don't look too hard at a candidate, but we need to go left. The formula used to be to go to the outside till you were nominated, then head for the center. I will be backing Biden, but looking at some of the others for the future.
