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.

If your strategy is to berate me, or educate me, it's not going to succeed. Charming me, like Clinton and Obama did, is your best bet. Start with not fielding candidates like Shrillary or Miss Awkward Laugh.

How about party bosses not "fielding" candidates and instead letting voters choose? I would say start with a free and fair primary election. Give all interested candidates a chance to run without party interference and let the Democratic party voters choose their nominee. Kamala getting the nomination via coronation rather than through a fair primary election process rubbed a lot of voters the wrong way. Same with the party tilting the scales in favor of Hillary when Bernie was rising. There is a good chance the 2024 election results may have been different if a fairly elected Demoractic nominee was an available choice. Hope the Democratic party has learned its lesson and will do better in 2028.
