It is what the majority of voters voted for. We need better Democratic candidates to beat the Republicans. Harris had too many word salads to understand what her campaign was all about. We need better speakers and new blood in the Democratic Party.

I must disagree. The proposition that Trump prevailed even in part, let alone primarily, on account of Harris's, not Trump's, spewing of word salad is detached from reality. That said, perhaps those who ended up voting for Trump found Harris too articulate, too endowed with a post-fifth-grade-playground vocabulary, and were unable to understand her at the level and register with which she spoke — and thus, to them, it sounded like word salad.

Public Speaking taught me to keep my words simple so a 5 year-old can understand me. It doesn't seem like Harris learned that, and her giggles and stutter made things worse. She failed to reach the people who are in the lower half of the IQ curve, and also insulted half the nation using hate speech on them when she should have used love. I think people voting for Trump did it as a "F you" to Harris and the Democrats.

Did you know 8 million voters for Biden refused to vote at all? They would have voted for Harris if they did. Trump received fewer votes but got the electoral college state points. But a good point that people voted for Harris because they didn't like Trump. I am sure there are other factors as well.
