I’ve been dreaming of a Trump IQ test forever. I’m almost certain he would be below average. Someone should trick him to do one by saying it’s the crypto bro club test that Harris failed or something.
She shouldn’t even say this. Cognitive tests are for those showing signs of dementia. That trump took one at all is all that we need to know.
New debate idea: instead of political questions, have the whole thing hosted by a panel of psychologists who give a thorough assessment to both candidates live on stage.
At the end, they collectively review all findings and conclude the event by making any diagnosis the data merits.
And their political affiliations would be somehow above questioning?
Have you met our Supreme Court?
Or ask them questions on elementary school level.
I feel don don will struggle with them.
Are You Smarter Than Fifth Grader: The Presidental Election Edition.
It has to be hosted by Muppets. Why? The Presidential election is now a game show. Might as well lean into the absurdity of it.
It’s wild that such intense questions like “Can you identify a giraffe?”, “Can you draw a clock?”, “Can you count backwards by 7s?”, and “Who is the current president?” was apparently such a grueling ordeal for Donald that he’s still bragging about it years later.
Can you count backwards by 7s
counting backwards in multiples of 7? i’d struggle with that and i consider myself at least average
If this were the entire question, I’d be confused. Another comment suggested starting from 0 and going into negatives, but my initial response would be “starting from what?” expecting to start at 100 or 77 or something.
However, an elementary school teacher told me that negative numbers don’t exist, so that might be related …
It’s a common test for concussion. Voice of experience.
0, -7, -14, -22… dangit
It’s probably like field sobriety tests, where how you struggle is relevant. If you miss one in a sequence, that says something different from repeatedly going up instead of down or counting backwards on your hands first.
“Who is the current president?”
Yeah that one might be an issue for him…
She should disguise this test, and throw in basic questions about US history and politics. Trump will fail so hard it won’t even be funny.
This is the guy who talked about the continental army in the 1700’s invading airports. He’s real fucking stupid.
No need to do that
The guy is struggling enough as it is
But you throw in questions about dictators and he’ll know the answers better than he knows what state he’s living in. It’s possible the only book he’s ever read is Mein kempf
That’s pretty smart. You know he would never do it.
He’s just going to say “I’m the smartest person ever to be president, the doctor I paid said so. I took the test already: person, woman, man, camera, TV!”
Technically 4 words, woman is a derivitive of man in their minds. Well 3 because person is gender neutral and can’t have that either.
And he keeps talking about the tests if he just took it. Which either means he can’t really process the fact that it happened in the past anymore, or they really do have to test him often. Neither is a good look for anyone’s grandpa, much less a grandpa who wants to run the free world.
It’d be smarter if they got him to actually do it, so I don’t see your point… The man genuinely has dementia.
I guess that depends on whether you think he’s narcissistic enough to believe his own lies?
I’ve been wondering why she doesn’t invite both of them to take one.
These fucks blurt out all their motivations and weaknesses, you only need to aggressivey seize on them and hold their feet to the fire till they cry uncle
Challenge Trump to a foot race for President since his supporters going around burning ballot boxes.
Harris is lucky to have Trump running
without Trump the Democrat’s whole campaign platform would crumble
Yeah. I mean, after all… who would want to vote for someone to run a country who has spent their life practicing law /s
And people would vote for Jill Stein instead?
Pass me those drugs you’re doing LMAO
I mean, with Trump running the race is still basically a dead heat, so I’m not sure how lucky they really are.
We’re not unlucky because trump is running necessarily. We’re unlucky because half the fucking country doesn’t see what an insane and horrific choice he is.
I’m really scared for future elections when the GOP has a candidate that is actually charismatic or articulate…
They’re kinda proving that those are unnecessary, though. They’re in uncanny valley and espousing literal Nazi ideology and still getting elected. At that point, why even buy lipstick for the pig in the first place? Their dog whistles have been packed up in boxes in the attic for years. Echo chambers that blame scapegoats, vilify opponents, and deify their candidates are all that is really necessary. They can literally get away with saying “well, Hitler had some good ideas too, though…” and the base will lap it up and show up to cast their ballots.
Charisma and articulation are off-putting to their uncharismatic and inarticulate voters anyway. That might actually do more harm than good. Because “talking good is gay” or something. It’s dumb but it’s how they feel, and their feelings don’t give a fuck about facts.
I think they do see it. They just think that’s a good thing.
Enough people think competence is ‘controlling’ and education is ‘pretentious’ that they want pathetic, stupid, harmful bullshit.
The purpose of the system is what it does, and the purpose of an ideology that discriminates is the people it chooses to harm, and the ways it finds to harm them.
She’s running against arguably the worst candidate in American history and it’s still a dead heat, what does that tell you?
He might be the best candidate for hateful idiots though. The guy’s a chud whisperer. I’m not sure if any smarter more articulate Republican could hold together the same radical coalition.
Harris must be a nasty woman like Hillary Clinton. It can’t be because the other side has been propagandized until it went nuts.
Super healthy and helpful mindset /s
I’m guessing they were being sarcastic. Unfortunately a lot of people have yet to realize sarcasm is anything but obvious online, at least not in this day and age.
Guessing? That was obviously sarcastic.
I think I understood their sarcasm. They think I’m engaging in misogynistic tendencies and do actually think Trump voters are “nuts”.
For the record, I don’t know if you personally judge Harris as a woman. I have no reason to think that’s true, and I don’t know if you hate Hillary, let alone your reason if you do.
But I think a lot of the hate for Hillary was misogynist, and many people made the argument that if Trump is awful, Hillary must have been worse to lose.
Traitor voters are nuts. Why else would they be voting for America’s Hitler?
The alternative, if the republicans had a candidate that wasn’t a weird 80 year old billionaire, the democrats wouldn’t have a shot in hell, facilitating a genocide while endorsing 90% of republican policies from 2016 and promising what amounts to fuckall help to most people.
Kinda like how Trump’s whole campaign fell apart when Biden dropped out? Weird.
Oh yea! Because campaign platforms totally aren’t built around their opponent and don’t ever change and for sure aren’t strategic or anything!
Nothin but a lil troll account.
Are downvoters disagreeing even though the biggest slogan to come out of the DNC was “we are not going back” (plus the point of the stunt this article is about)? Or do they think any criticism whatsoever of democrats is bad? This shouldn’t be a controversial take.
Because 1) it’s the usual “I’m totally a leftist that hates Trump yet will always blame the Dems for everything for some completely mysterious and unknown reason” bullshit, and 2) it’s a goddamn stupid take. Of course running an anti-Trump campaign wouldn’t work against anyone but Trump. Harris’ campaign strategy (which is a continuation of Biden’s) is to singularly point out the threat Trump represents, not to paint the entire GOP as a threat. And as much as it might piss off actual progressives (people who are going to vote Dem anyway because they understand what’s at stake, unlike, you know, the poster you replied to) they’re trying to reach Republican voters who don’t want Trump but need to be reminded it’s okay to vote for the other party if they have better candidates.
-
As a leftist that totally hates Trump, I am voting for Harris because it’s not strategic for me to do otherwise. I still have the ability to recognize that the dems are doing their damndest to uphold a broken status quo that is actively harming everyone, especially children in Palestine.
-
Why shouldn’t they paint the entire GOP as a threat when they are the party America’s Hitler? The reason we have Trump in the first place is because the DNC wanted a bogeyman to get Hilary in in 2016, quickly found source from 2016. They shouldn’t be trying to court Republicans, they should be trying to motivate people with real progress. The reason Hilary lost was because people are sick of establishment politicians and she was the embodiment of that establishment.
People are sick and tired of having 2 bad choices and nothing else.
-
Criticism? Where did you find it? That was just a silly take with no substance whatsoever.
The criticism is that a large portion of voters wouldn’t support her if she wasn’t running against someone like Trump. I know that criticism has at least some substance because it applies to me.
Edit: more specifically her campaign is using Trump as a bogeyman more than she’s running on actual policy.
