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.

Good morning, in your opinion, did critical thinkers conclude that the Dem party respected the process and offered voters a compelling alternative to trump? What appeared to be less risky, 4 years of trump and the Dem party gets an opportunity to reset in 28, or 8 more years of team Biden Harris? Thank you.

Good morning to you too, and thanks for asking. As I said in my post, both parties are much too comfortable in their seats, but almost ANYTHING would be better than Trump. One thing I do not believe he was lying about was his goal of being a dictator, which is being worked on with the 3rd term talk. A crappy leader who did not mess with what is currently considered democracy, did not alienate us from the rest of the world, and did not follow through with a promise that "you will never have to vote again," (because hey, you will no longer have that privilege,)would have been astronomically better!

That said, what I would like to see is the end of party politics and ranked choice voting. I am exceedingly tired of my choice of candidate being primaried and dropping out before my state gets to have their primary. We should have the vote on the same day as everyone else, with ranked choice making sure your vote doesn't go meaningless because your first choice is for a candidate not chosen by others. In my almost 62 years, having never missed a chance to vote, I have never been able to vote FOR a candidate, and always against a worse candidate. Is that what democracy is supposed to be about? Lets have real choice.

IP,
apologizing to the BRK board for the OT, but is it?
