Why does everyone think Kamala was such a bad candidate?

[Anonymous]

Like Joe she chose a VP that would not overshadow her. For Joe it was a bad choice but kept him in office for four years. For her it was a choice that ensured she could not win.

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.

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.

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.

That’s why he wants to eliminate the Dept of Education. People are in favor of it too because they love bread and circuses.

Canada doesn't have a federal department of education. And yet they consistently have higher academic scores for reading, math, science literacy, etc.

There are many ways of doing things. Interestingly, the same people on this thread who think the US is bombing educationally also believe we should keep doing it the same way, and are outraged by the concept of moving this to the state and locals, where students may be better served than they are under the current structure.

I'm a liberal democrat but this. I mean things are clearly not working. Not sure how people believe our current govt works effectively? Man, we need overhauling for sure. Like all of it. Not suggesting Trump is the right leader of this effort but at least he's admitting change is needed.

Exactly. States are supposed to be the laboratories of Democracy. Let the states innovate and other states can follow the successful models if they want.

Lots of states are in the business of killing women now. Lest you forget, we are the UNITED States. Basic rights should be guaranteed. You do know that states said in federal filings they wanted pregnant teens because it meant more federal $$ for the states. So, no, it shouldn’t be up to the states. Unless you like serfdom.

Kamala Harris lost because she said things as stupid as this.

People don’t like it when women use their voices.

There is only one party that came up with both Karen and TERF in response to women using their voices.

And it wasn’t republicans.

Thank you.

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.

The OP has to be a troll. Please tell me this is sarcasm.

[Anonymous]

Surely “Everyone” didn’t think this. Some were able to recognize her overall brilliance, total command of all of the relevant issues, and clear connection to The Middle Class as evidenced by her time working at McDonald’s.

On the other hand, Biden and Harris truly are not smart, and Biden appears to have dementia on top of that.

LOL....so explain all of his bankrupting businesses and constant law suits-explain how his daddy always had to bail him out of trouble. It's funny to me that you ignorant fools think people who were born with silver spoons in their mouths are "intelligent" no they are just rich and they hate people like you. Enjoy the next four.

I read an interesting article a while back about the misogyny in our country and how a large amount of white christian men and women want the country to go back to when men were "in charge" and women were put "in their place". There are shows about this on Netflix about the extreme republicans have been working on this for a very long time and indoctrinating people and institutions slowly. They know Kamala is a smart accomplished woman and they have to squash it. I worry for our daughters in this country. Think about it a lot of the republican women in government are meek puppets for the men in their lives. Amy comes Barrett for one but there are others.

Yes, American public schools are doing so well under the guidance of that gaggle of idiotic bureaucrats known as the Department of Education. How dare Trump question their value?

We have seen Democrat plans for education. Weaken/eliminate advanced math and other advanced subjects, as well as gifted programs, Group work to let the better students cover for the weaker students. In Oregon, they eliminated graduation requirements. Algebra in 9th grade for all gets pushed wherever parents aren't noticing.

It's unfair to allow high achievers to excel academically. In other areas, it's okay
