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.

SO the pressure from Pelosi and Schumer never happened? LOL

"After the debate, pressure was being applied from everywhere for him to drop out. But he, himself, took himself down with an -apparently- poor debate performance. If he had done fine, there would have been little pressure from anywhere for him to step down. Incumbency is an advantage in elections, most of the time"

Not from everywhere ----but from key Democrats. A bad debate----caused Key Democrats to boot Biden.

Trump was elected by Dems - twice.

"I think that isn't really accurate. Sure, the first time maybe there was a little too much emphasis on pronouns, and not enough on the needs of Joe Sixpack. I believe Comey was more responsible, issuing that statement (contrary to FBI policy) about HRC a month before the vote. And then it all came to nothing"

The pronoun stuff, had TONS more effect than "Comey". in 2024. As did America's general dissatisfaction with life -- which is gonna be there regardless of who is in office.

Either way, no worries. Everything will be reversed the 1st day of the next Presidency..... ;). As one of the few thinking people on the Left i don't want ti disrespect and argue with you over issues that i ---80% just don't care about anymore. The trajectory - is decidedly downward. And - in certain corners of the world- decidedly - upward.

Lukily, Rome has tons of fossil fuels, a tech lead, and still a superior spirit ----for now.
