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.

How many Charlies are out there? - Bill

Apparently not as many as you have to think there are, since the Dems continue to drop in the polls.

New poll shows Democratic Party with lowest favorability rating in decades

Jul 17, 2025The CNN poll, released early Thursday, found Democrats garnering just 28 percent favorability — a slight decline from March's record low of 29 percent.

You guys continue to think if your just hate Trump hard enough, that will be enough. You can't understand why so many reject your ideas about trans kids, men invading women's sports, parental rights, absurd levels of criminal leniency, cash bail, defund police, disband ICE, etc.

Yep. Trump is awful and that is the end of your argument. No mention of who you suggest
should be his replacement (that is except for the predicable and boring answer, Who? Anyone not a pedophile grifter oligarch.)

Trump is ruining out democracy you scream. You never say what your policies would be. I guess your policy is "Not Ruin It". Hard to argue with that. Perhaps some suggested legislation would do more to attract support than banging on a pot with a big spoon. You could drag out the well worn tax the evil rich guys and we will spend our way into utopia.

There you have it. Why is MAGA support so impermeable? We know all about his odious character being Hitler and all, but his governance is excellent. But you guys just keep hammering character not realizing you are not providing any alternative governance ideas that could possible attract some interest. Meanwhile your polls continue fall.
