The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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 democrats have zero bench. Their base has zero clue what the electorate wants and it's why they keep up with the nonsensical positions that 80% or better of the country rejects. Hey, let's not deport criminals! Let's laud wife-beating, human trafficking members of terrorists instead!

Then you look at their politicians. Here's who they have:

Front runners:
AOC - her ego vastly outstrips her intelligence. As in, she's completely brain dead.
Cory Booker - hahahahaha
J.B. Pritzker - people can't flee Illinois fast enough
Hair Gel Newsom - See Pritzker. It'll be amusing to no end to see him disavow all his previous positions and the people on this board go along with it.
Big Gretch Whitmer - she'll get to answer why you couldn't by yard stuff at Home Depot during COVID

People they should run but won't:
Shapiro - they have a real problem with Da Joooos in that party
Beshear - no way they'll have somebody from a Bumpkin state like KY at the top of the ticket. Their coastal AWFLs won't go for it.

Then you've got other rando wannabes like Sideshow Bob Ferguson from WA (zero national profile) and Amy Klobuchar whose claim to fame is that the creators of Veep modeled Selena Meyer's character after her (not a good thing).

That political party is 100% trash and deserves to buried in the ash heap of history. After all of us hose it down with urine.
