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.

The underlying problem is that Harris has no real grasp of the issues and cannot articulate her own position, let alone defend it, so of course her supporters say there is no point to a debate because Trump is so odious. Even if true, the American people deserve to know what her polices are or why she has repudiates so many of her prior positions.

This. Issues matter, and no amount of refusing to discuss them Because Reasons is going to make them go away.

Trump wasn't my first choice this cycle but he was selected by GOP primary and caucus voters in the normal primary cycle. So half the country picked that guy to run. Thus, he's running and therefore what he would do in office matters. So would what Harris wants to do.

The democrats are running a Frankenstein's monster of a campaign - part Obama in 2008 (don't ask about any issues, it's all Hope and Change) and Biden 2020 (hide him in the basement so he doesn't accidentally mess it up). They're doing both with Harris.

Problem is...issues matter. The voters deserve to know what you're going to do if they grant you the power that comes with the office of President of The United States.
