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.

I’ve been wondering where you’re getting this 33/33/33 poll data that you have been running with, because it’s the only poll that produced those results. All other polls, including those on November 4th, showed the public moving toward the democrats and away from republicans. Of course the poll you picked is the flawed YouGov poll.

“The poll was conducted among 1,623 U.S. adult citizens. Respondents were selected from YouGov’s opt-in panel to be representative of U.S. adult citizens.”

You have a narrative justifying surrender based on a flawed outlier of a poll (ignoring altogether what voters said about the shutdown). Why?

The desperation of the Dinos to preserve their control over the party and avoid a leftward move is rank, and your doing yeoman’s work carrying their water.

Trump ratcheted up the pain while blaming the dems and in the end the “centrists” took the blame for Trump’s pain. Parlaying that surrender monkey move into a people’s victory is going to be fascinating magic.
