    So any generic platitudic statement with hundreds of examples from the likes of Reagan, Clinton, Obama, Bush etc?

    So what was confusing about it and what was uniquely stupid about it that makes it so odd and singled out relative to any other myriad of generic platitudes expressed by politicians on a daily basis?

    I'm assuming this is your tell of "this isn't a hill I'm going to die on. It's just a knee jerk reaction for me to agree when someone frames a narrative that 'Kamala stupid' and I just went along with it. Don't think too much into what I just typed. It's just my typical reactionary self. Carry on".

    No, I described before what she did. Then you asked the same dumb question again that you had already asked before.

    You're welcome.

    word salad

    I'm sure there are examples of Republicans having said similarly stupid things.

    The thing in that clip is that she really literally says nothing, but in a weirdly pompous way. Like someone who is not very bright, but is desperately trying to sound bright.

    Can you elaborate on what you mean by "nothing" and what makes her statement uniquely "nothing" (I'm assuming you mean platitudic) in reference to the thousands of platitudes expressed by the likes of Reagan, Bush, Clinton Obama etc?

    I just don't get what makes her comment her something worthy of posting on Twitter as an example of Harris being "dumb" or "unqualified"?

    Answer I had in mind was badge/flag humping. Boot-licking, perhaps,

    She saying that the US needs to invest in future tech in reference to energy systems because that's how nations gain leverage and become market leaders.

    It's a generic platitude but I easily understood what she said and politicians say generic obvious things all the time.

    And btw it must really sting that she's more well read than you, more educated and has more career accomplishments. I understand when the person I'm ideologically opposed to is smart. I'll never acuse Ted Cruz of being dumb or DeSantis. You seem like the type that will just use "she dumb" to any woman you ideologically disagree with.

    DeSantis seems pretty smart to me. Ted Cruz doesn't seem very intelligent to me. Very insincere and insecure, not very bright.

    Okay that's nice. In no way would I consider Harris "dumb". There is nothing for me to believe that she's "dumb". She is ambitious and I don't like her record as a prosecutor. But dumb isn't something I would label Harris. I guess you and I just have a different understanding of what "intelligence" is.

    You and maybe 3 other people commenting on Twitter seem to have heard that in her rambling, incoherent speech. Most everyone else felt differently.

    I didn't call her dumb. But feel free to argue against stuff you made up yourself, as usual.

    I mean it's obvious that is the implication of the original tweet we are debating about and you running In it's defense makes me assume you believe the tweet's message of her being " underqualified"... Whatever that means in terms of being a vice president...

    So ya let's not beat around the bush and be coy. Your premise here or the narrative you want to propagate is essentially "Harris dumb".

    Lol you aren't going to dictate reality by the agreement of a Twitter bubbled chain full of people who probably consume the same ideologically slanted media. Yes a group of people in a hive mind bubble all agree that they don't understand what she's saying because it sounds incoherent yet it took me one brief listen of her comment to fully grasp what she's saying very clearly.


    I'm either the Harris whisperer or you are trying really hard not to understand a very simple statement from her to push a narrative.


    "Hey honey, a bunch of people on Twitter agree with me. Did I win the internet?"

    Not sure why the Harris thread is bumped, I'm guessing she might have said "a" as "ayy" and then switched to "ahh" in the same sentence.
