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 respectfully say to you -- no both. Stick with the political gold, leave the political shit.

I get your point. But you also need the demographics you usually win to show up also. You have to give them something. You have to reassure them that the ideals of justice are on your side. I agree with you that getting lost in the weeds of pronouns is a losing strategy. Wallet issues will swing a lot of voters. But you still need "your side" to show up, or it won't matter.

Your country -is at a crossroads for real. The next 2 cycles will decide which way things go. After that - it's game over.

I tend to agree. If we go down the dark path, the only way back will be another civil war. That would not be good for anyone. Or maybe we'll descend into 1984 with absolutely no hope of digging ourselves out.

Anyhow, i appreciate your willing to listen and have a respectful exchange as always.

That goes both ways. I'm happy to have discourse with almost anyone, as long as they keep it civil. Which you do. At least you haven't directed any ad-homs or invectives my way. That's the whole reason I'm here on this board. Otherwise, I'd fire-up Fallout 4, and kill some supermutants. :-)
