You shouldn’t get multiple attempts at important jobs
There are around 100 million people who are eligible to be president of the United States. Of them, there are only six who have demonstrably proven they are incapable of winning a presidential election.
You have significantly better odds of success if you select a random person through a lottery than allowing any of those six people to run again. They are the only people who have proven they can’t do it. A failed presidential candidate is by definition the least qualified person on earth to be president.
I am more qualified for this job than she is. You are more qualified than she is. 100 million people are more qualified than she is.
This also goes for other big positions, like CEOs of major companies and University Presidents. You get one. If you’re a CEO and good at it, there’s no reason for you to leave the company you’re at. If you’re bad at it, no one should ever allow you anywhere near that seat again because anyone else has a better chance of doing it well.
I think you should get multiple attempts, but you need to be able to establish that you are more qualified than the last time you applied, and Kamala has basically done the opposite by blaming everyone but herself for her failure, which negates the possibility of improvement and itself is another serious detriment to her qualification.
I see little reason why you should get multiple attempts. When your pool of potential candidates is 100 million people, there’s very little “improvement” that could be done that would bring you up like, more than a standard deviation in ability. And if there is, you should do that improvement before becoming the major party nominee for president.
Kamala is honestly the most extreme example, she shouldn’t just not be running for president, she should be in prison, both for the numerous war crimes she’s complicit in and for her failure to abide by the 25th amendment and remove an ailing president.
I certainly agree with the second part, but I think there’s a ton of things one can do to improve pretty drastically, mostly having to do with education.
Certainly. But you should do that before becoming a major party’s nominee for president
I think you should get killed if you lose an election.
Would self select out a lot of these fucks
gulpI personally think that that would not be a good policy. Punitive killing isn’t a good way of running basically anything.
I think there’s some way to stop people grabbing power out of a self serving motivation.
The chief thing to do is make it not represent power. Modest pay, anti-corruption laws, recall elections, the ability to actually be held liable for crimes . . .
I don’t think that works.
I promise you that it’s a much better means of keeping political representatives under control than literally executing people who try and fail to be elected.
But how many of those 100 million are a kind of awkward trainwreck monster, devoted enough to making line go up, to lead millions into the jaws of death without hesitation or remorse?
We are nearly 3 years out from the next election. Go fuck yourself.
Also, you are Kamala Harris. Go fuck yourself.
MY QUEEN, I KNEEL
Will she somehow manage to loose against Trump another time?
The Democrats literally skipped the primary system twice to nominate the only two people in the USA capable of losing to Donald Trump. Bernie would have stomped him. He only won by a razor-thin margin the first time.
Some of the political outcomes might be regrettable but it makes fund raising so much easier!
They really moved heaven and earth in order to prevent the mildest probably-hamstrung-by-both-parties soc dem president in the history of disappointing soc dems. They’d rather have right wing mobs traipsing around the halls of congress hooting about masks, jeopardizing the rule of their law, than a semblance of state welfare reassert itself. They sold the constitution, the Supreme Court, their “checks and balances” every vaunted marble-clad institution to fucking Trump of all people to stop the left.
grill yourself and everyone around you
It’s still so funny they did this to themselves
Dems will find a way to lose to Trump’s desiccated corpse
the grains of kamala harris’ failed political projects are shortly to make a heap
humiliation fetish
The chuds have a name for that, don’t they? Some kind of bird that lays its eggs in other birds’ nests?
Shit, I never realized that those words (cuckold and cuckoo) were related but it makes sense.
Well yeah, the cuck sits by and lets another man impregnate his wife and has to raise the offspring. It’s frustration as a sexual fetish. Sissies have the chastity cage, it’s in the same neighborhood.
She really hasn’t done much to maintain any sort of relevance after her loss, so… good luck, I guess.
Why bother when they can run another bot farm on r/pics to try and make her look more human than ghoul.
Watch her follow the exact same corpo speak strategy in the next election and lose again.
“my fellow americans, we hear you loud and clear, so when i am president, i will abolish all federal budget ceilings on ICE!”
Will she find someone to blame for losing again, or will she manage to win because she’s running against Vance or Trump 3, both of whom would also be comically unpopular?
Maybe they’re just assuming neo-COVID will make a centrist neoliberal electable again?
As for blame . . .
but it’s this little girls turn. Get in line kamala.I unironically want Hillary to run again. And lose.
Hilary vs Kamala primary will feed social media discourse for centuries
Do you think Hillary would get surrogates to start racist rumors against an opponent… again
At this point I’ve given up and just want the funniest outcome.
Going out on the way to the laughing gas chambers
I loved when she threw a temper tantrum after losing and John Podesta had to come out to that auditorium with the glass ceiling and tell everyone to wrap it up and go home.
Got a link so I can relive that moment and feel something?

Here you go, just for you. I re-watched it, too. Boy, that CNN logo sure hits differently now, doesn’t it?
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
She lost because her controller was unplugged.
she lost because we failed her. You didn’t understand the assignment.
Little sister syndrome. Biden gave her the unplugged Madcatz controller to eat shit at the border while he stuttered out for four years
Some of the protesters in the streets, when interviewed, have been basically pleading with democrat leaders to do some leading.
The democrat says “I’ll get to it in 2 years.”
The clown show must go on.
Hell yeah! Hope she loses again
