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 gotta believe that even Out of Touch White Liberals can realize this is a politically golden issue.

Ebola was.

Egg prices were.

Honestly - any Dem who goes on TV or Social media --and DOESN'T mention blunt numbers on health insurance prices should lose funding from the party. Really. Yes people - you need to win if you want to govern and when the opponent gives you instructions on how to beat him - you get your heads out of your bubble dwelling asses and do it.

I am convinced you don't want to beat MAGA - you meaning - the out of touch Left. You truly don't want to beat Trump and MAGA.

So easy....

"In the next month, you'll be getting a notice that your insurance bill is going up anywhere from $300-$1200 a month. That's real money. And Trump and your Republican Senator is making that happen"

"If you have insurance at work guess what? When young healthy people drop their ACA plan - it will cause your bill to go up next year when you have your yearly health insurance meeting an they tell you how far up the ass you'll be fucked"

I rarely am flummoxed with politics anymore but this one----a signature Dem issue-----and Obama Legacy policy that he spent so much capital on----- and it's there for the taking!

could this be the first time the Republicans prevail from a shut down? I just can't even believe it enough to predict it. This shutdown stuff has helped Dem every timeand now when they've got a golden issue...they might want to throw the match. '

AOC should be having a champagne toast right about now.

Health Bills going UP and Dems not jumping on it properly vis a vis messaging.

Yet if an egg costs more, or an illegal runs over a squirrel by accident.....Trump would ride it to a 4th term from his grave lol.

Wow. Ok i'm floored. Dems dont want to beat maga.
