Hillary won the popular vote. That's not how we elect Presidents. Someone should have told her that. |
Key is popular. What more voters wanted. |
It doesn't matter. That's not the system. If you want to run a Presidential campaign to capture the popular vote, don't expect to win. |
You're not wrong, but your picture lacks perspective. You're forgetting that we've had dumb and incompetent Presidents in the past, and that none of them have been as incompetent for the job, and habitual liars, like Trump. Bush Junior and Biden, the two most recent dummies, both tried their best. W. Bush made catastrophic mistakes in the Gulf, and US actions there are tantamount to war crimes. Biden has done less damage in the world, in terms of starting wars we can't stop that lead to decades of Jihad terrorism, than the Bushes. Trump is so mentally diseased that he cannot stop lying, and cannot understand that the job means putting the country before himself. He is so insecure that he has to continually aggrandize himself in the most cringeworthy and pathological way. Also, he can't read. His daily briefings were turned into color charts and graphs. He's the WORST President. All this to say, Americans have a lot of hubris but their Presidents are often not all that. And yet they get elected! Kamala Harris doesn't need to be the BEST. She's already way better than Bush, Biden and Carter. Maybe she's not the Obama you're looking for. But she'll do. |
What's the next move, dems?
An interview between Biden and George Stephanopoulos to convince people they didn't see what they saw? Maybe he'll do better on a green screen with editing, a teleprompter and poll tested answers given to him. |
Nicely put. Harris will do just fine. More importantly, she can pull us out of the geriatric tailspin we’re in. |
That was in response to someone’s claim that people didn’t like her. They obviously did- she won the popular vote. |
DP... That's not the system but numbers and perceptions do matter, a lot. You can't lose the popular vote and then proceed to rampage like a bull in a China shop pretending like you have a majority and popular mandate of the people the way Trump did. Right out of the gate he immediately started pissing people off - including many of the people who were willing to give him a chance. |
Time to read about the electoral college and why the popular vote isn’t the way to do it. |
How is allowing everyone and their grandma into the country “trying”? |
Here are the radio interview gaffes:

Whackadoodle in and out of battles |
Suckers and losers |
Where's your confusion there? Clearly Biden wanted to tear into Trump for disparaging our troops but changed his mind and thought better of it, given it's the 4th of July. Trump on the other hand has routinely made nasty remarks on dates that should be dates of joy and celebration. |
