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 democratic party lost its way in the 1990's when it abandoned the working class in favor of chumming it up with wealthy socially liberal elites. Once the party became dependent on the billionaire money stream it lost the ability to engage in a meaningful discourse around the root problems facing working people in America today--unfettered capitalism and the corresponding concentration of wealth. Not only is a discourse not possible, a political strategy for addressing the causes and consequences of the growing inequality has become impossible for the Clintonite wing of the party. You say so yourself with these ridiculous assumptions about user financed public transit systems.

Get your head out of Clinton's arse and see where the democratic party needs to go if it is to continue to be relevant,


If Democrats don’t take this to heart, their party will die. Perhaps it will be six months after the Republican Party dies a death from choking on its own nonsense, but the Democratic Party will follow, choking on its own failure to meet the moment-

….and the future will be driven by more extreme voices at both tips of the horseshoe.
