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.

Awhile ago here I had said that I suspect Biden ENDORSED Kamala - as a final up-yours to Obama, Pelosi, and the other idiotic Liberals that betrayed him.


Of course Biden endorsed her. But you claiming that was a final "up yours" to all who betrayed him. He's savvy enough to know that no one betrayed him. There were discussions that he wasn't appraised fully of the poor polls by his staff. HE understood that he'd performed badly, and the people down ballot were complaining they couldn't retain their seats if he ran. There were people going to him and talking frankly. He tested the waters and found out they were telling the truth.

Your summation reminds me of the fellows who will look at a graph of a stock and come up with nice-sounding loaded explanations for the movement, but this is just patter, they don't believe in actually looking at the stock, it's all in the graph. They';; compliment each other on this interpretation too.

When someone endorses someone and bows out, they are throwing whatever votes they have influence over to that person. It's not an "up yours", he's doing that in coordination with the party. It was a smooth transition to Kamala, and he helped, played his part and didn't interfere - far from being an "up yours". It was nice to watch. How did you possibly get that so wrong?
