Why does everyone think Kamala was such a bad candidate?

But here we are and Trump is going to be President. We Americans are on the whole, incredibly stupid people.

The election was 6 weeks ago, so it’s really time to get over it and consider the future. Calling the American people “stupid” does nothing to advance the ball. Try to get it out of your system, and think about viable candidates for 2028.

Pretty sure it's fair to say the average American voter IQ is much less than it was 20 or 30 years ago considering we've elected Trump, Biden, Trump in the past three elections. Nothing wrong with acknowledging this stupidity and trying to deal with it in advance of 2028 so that another Trump or Biden isn't elected.

This is the best the left has. They don't have any practical offerings, so they sell self righteous outrage and elitism. The idea that if you believe X that you are part of an inner ring of heardled geniuses is intoxicating.

You my friend probably voted for Trump or Biden in 2020 and therefore you are to blame for all this mess. Find a brain. 80 year old people don't make good presidents. This is not rocket science. A 1st grader could figure this out; why not you?

Not PP involved in this, but I am confused by this post. This seems to be an insult based on voting for either Trump or Biden in 2020. Was there another option that I missed ? I think the 1st grader would have also picked Trump or Biden. Am I misreading this post?

Yes, some people are smart enough to know that 80 year old people aren't our best options to serve in the most powerful and demanding position in the world.

So what specifically are you saying the average (stupid) voter should have done in 2020, given the binary choice between Trump and Biden in the general election ?

And that's what she'll likely do.

What do former VPs normally do? They don’t normally stay in elective politics. Dick Cheney. Al Gore. Dan Quayle. Walter Mondale.

They get on corporate boards, do public appearances and make some money.

I think Harris will get some no show job at the University of California that pays a lot.

Mondale had the same misfortune as Harris. He was VP of a very unpopular POTUS and lost his bid for The White House in much more of a landslide defeat than Harris because he was running against a legitimate POTUS candidate in Reagan while Harris was running against a terrible opponent in Trump. Biden deserves 99.9% of the blame for Trump's 2024 victory.

Biden deserves about 25% of the credit for Trump's 2024 victory.

FTFY.

99%. If Biden would have gotten the heck out of the way much sooner, we could have nominated a candidate with the stamp of approval from the American people and any normal candidate nominated in the proper manner would obviously destroy Trump.

Everyone is mad at Biden now, but don't forget how committed yall were to the narrative that he was totally lucid and competent. Any mention that Biden was not up to the task was met with attacks that the person saying it was "spouting right wing talking points." You wanted him bad, and you got him bad, and now you're going to blame him.

You're really obsessed with intelligence and shouting out into the void that you have the most. Congrats? But it's just not relevant to a political discussion. You lost. We won. I guess being the World's Smartest Political Party isn't actually working for you.

We ALL lost.

"Yall" who is "yall"? I can proudly say I never voted for Trump or Biden because people that have no business being POTUS shouldn't be POTUS. Can you honestly say the same?

Yesterday at an office holiday party we had a cut out of Kamala Harris. (Long story, but the cut out was actually work related.) At the end of the party one of the Hispanic male waiters at the restaurant punched the Kamala cut out. To repeat, an immigrant male Hispanic waiter punched the cut out of Kamala Harris. For those of you who are not in touch with your deep-seated racism and sexism, you need to get over yourselves. She lost bc of her race and her gender.

Punching a card board cut out makes someone racist? Stop being silly. She lost because she was the VP of a very unpopular POTUS that through her under the bus as a presumed nominee that didn't win the primary. Do you think Mondale lost because of racism and sexism too? Think a little.

How do you know that, if Biden had been the candidate and lost, the waiter wouldn’t have punched a cut out of him? You are projecting.

Well, maybe he didn’t like the open border policy, b/c immediate competition's for his job, pushing down wages. Maybe not sexist at all, did you think of that ?

Biden actually deserves to be punched for handing the 2024 election to Trump but I'm not going to encourage punching elderly people.

I voted for Trump. Yall is a southern colloquialism.

This is true. When Robert Hur called him an “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory”, which in retrospect seems like a very flattering and gracious way of describing Biden, he was met with met with incredible invective. Kamala Harris attacked Hur as wrong on the facts, politically motivated and lacking in integrity.

What about that series of events makes you think she lost due to racism and sexism? It's not clear how this man's actions are related to racism and sexism unless you spell it out for us.

You can blame Biden. But you also need to blame the Democrats and the people closest too him, including Harris, who would have had to have known how bad his condition was.

Here he was in January having what appears to be a seizure on stage.

He should have left the campaign or been forced out then. Instead, the whatabouttrump chorus hit back insisting that any talk of Biden’s age is not allowed unless you talk about Trump’s age, or his prosecutions, or his threat to democracy, or whatever.

I encourage you to go back to May 2024 posts and see what the left was saying about Biden back then. He was literally the only man for the job, back then. The poor guy was being drug around like a reanimated corpse and if you dared to point out his slurred words or unsteady gait, you were a stupid racist Nazi. And now you want to punch him, for what? The entire base demanded that he stay in all the way up to the point when he ate it on stage at the debate. And even in the days afterward, the left was saying it was fine, everything was fine, just an off day.

No one with at least half a brain ever thought Biden was presidential material; not even 20 years ago when he was mentally fit and in his political prime. The only thing he ever had going for him was being a better option than Trump because just about anyone with a pulse is a better option than Trump.
