these 4 candidates, biden, trump, pence, harris, if they are not the 4 stupidest to ever run, then surely they are the least well educated and well read. they dont seem to know anything. they are the least likely to have ever read any books about anything.
i disagree....except for Biden, i think they're pretty smart. Biden is probably the stupidest to ever run. The rest all have their issues, or perceived issues, but they're pretty sharp IMO. Now, knowledge and intelligence are 2 different things.
both biden and harris strike me as totally idiotic. trump and pence, while not stupid do not strike me as well read. i doubt either of them have any idea who kierkegaard is. and thats fine, but i think, for example bill clinton and dick cheney have done some serious reading. hillary was also smart and educated
biden seems not only dumb and uneducated, but he also seems dull and slow and simple. his career seems totally a function of being chosen as inoffensive and weak by obama, who himself was elected largely because we an anti-racist nation and will praise even mildly competent blacks as if they were gods
Unfortunately no matter who wins in November I think we lose. We have lost what made the United States great and it’s been a team effort by the democrats and republicans. Their selfishness has been destructive to the body politic since the fall of the Soviet Union I believe. Certainly we’ve been going downhill since 9/11/2011 at least. After the attack we started trading our liberty for the illusion of security. We have lost any common bond to hold us together. Part of the problem has been poor leadership by W, Obama, Trump and especially the so called congressional leadership. They are solely concerned with personal power not that national interest. Perhaps the democrats started early but under W the republicans caved. Now they distract us with bread and circuses.....and yes Trump is perhaps the quintessential purveyor of that bread and circus. So we are the problem too as we are satisfied with the spectacle rather than demanding performance. So after the constitutional convention ended when someone asked Benjamin Franklin what they had created his answer was “A republic madam for as long as you can hold on to it”. I’m afraid we won’t make 250 years.
Harris is smart but she can't hide the fact that she is a conniving bitch. She definitely fails the likability test. Biden may have been smart back in the day but now he has become a blithering idiot. But he gets the sympathy vote from the sheeple. Trump is a sharp businessman. I wouldn't want to have to negotiate anything with him. I don't know anything about Pence but last night he came off as sounding presidential. That would be a good thing if people voted based on who the veep would be, They don't. While I don't think many voters would want for Harris to actually become president why am I not surprised that the masses won't consider that Biden will die or have to be placed on life support sooner than later.
