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.

Pretty sure you have no data to support your sweeping statement.

NP..check out Gallup. 54% of Americans ages 16-72 have under a sixth grade literacy rate. We've become the stupidest country of the free world.

Thank God the teacher unions and academic left have controlled education over the last 40 years. They're doing a great job.

Please link the Gallup study. My Google search returned the National Literacy Institute. By the way, it also said most of those with below sixth grade level literacy are foreign born, so I'm not sure this is the critique against American intelligence that you think it is.

This country elected Trump, Biden, and then Trump again in the most recent three POTUS elections. That is all the evidence needed to prove American intelligence is not what it once was. People 25 years ago would have never been fooled into voting for an unhinged elderly reality TV personality or an elderly 50 year swamp member that is barely fit enough to survive one term.

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.

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.

This. It was so aggravating to have people tell everyone to disbelieve their lying eyes.

It was so crazy. Biden even had a press conference to defend himself where he made a number of misstatements of basic facts, including calling El-Sisi of Egypt the President of Mexico. That was the point where he needed to have stepped down, but instead the Democrats decided a better plan was to gaslight people and bully the media. Everything went downhill from there. And an important part of this story. An important reason why Harris cannot use her shortened campaign period as an excuse, is because she was the best placed intervene and instead was the chief attack dog.

If someone in mainstream media had stepped up after that press conference to call Biden to an interview like George Stas finally did after the debate, Biden would have gotten out of the way in time for a legitimate Dem primary and Trump would have been crushed.

There are many directions you can point the fingers of blame for Trump's 2024 victory. You can play the idiot Trump voters, you can blame the careless Biden 2020 voters, you can blame Biden himself, you can blame the media.... but you can't really blame Harris. She is was put into awful position not to her making and did the best she could.

You cannot fault Harris? The person who directly attacked Robert Hur’s integrity and called him “politically motivated”? It is one thing to defend the President out of loyalty. But she didn’t need to also attack the special counsel.

She’s a woman. US is racist and more sexist than any other first world country and some third world countries.

For all Harris knew, Biden was competent up until the time we all knew he wasn't. It isn't as if they had lunch together 3 times a week. They were and still are nothing more than acquaintances. Trump and Pence weren't close either. It's difficult for VPs to get close to their greedy and arrogant elderly bosses.

She is an American politician. If her lips were moving, odds are the truth wasn't being told.

I don’t even think her answer on The View that she couldn’t really think of anything she would do differently from Biden was particularly damning. She is his Vice-President, what the heck could she really have said?

And this is coming from someone who voted for Trump, but I would have done so no matter who was on the Democratic ticket.

"She has always come across as intelligent, articulate and very well-informed on the issues."

Ah, yes. This is famously true.

Just about anyone can appear as intelligent, articulate, and very well-informed when standing next to Trump and Biden.

There have always been a high percentage of illiterate people in this country yet we've for the most part been able to elect fit, qualified, and worthy presidents up until recently. Being illiterate doesn't necessarily guarantee someone to be clueless and careless when it comes to politics and government.

Stupidity and carelessness are likely reasons why Americans elected Trump and Biden. Illiteracy is less likely to be a primary reason.

I love all of these people trying to dismiss the importance of low literacy rates in electing Trump. If people weren't so poorly educated, they wouldn't be so susceptible to voting against their self interests. Remember Trump said from the onset of his first run that he " loved the uneducated ". We have to own that America is majority stupid.

Trump and Biden received over 155 million votes in 2020. It wasn't just illiterate or uneducated people that were duped into voting for them. We all know otherwise intelligent, successful people that voted for them.

You clearly did not read the survey. Because there is a direct correlation between low literacy rates and immigration. So your lament about stupid and illiterate Americans is really a complaint about stupid and illiterate immigrants. I am not sure if that is the point that you thought you were trying to make but it is in fact the point that you are making. Reduce immigration or at least reduce immigration of low education and skills people and these numbers will improve.
