Pete and Tim didn't run, so they weren't candidates.

Try again?

Sure.

But the Democrats decided not to hold a primary that late, and I don't recall any Democrats running a meaningful challenge to her candidacy...

So, let me ask again. Who was an electable candidate in 2024?

Who was an electable candidate in 2024?

It's usually driveways and right on reds. You pull up to the light on your Brodozer Yosemite edition, with the big knobbly tires, factory lift kit, and the (man)hood extension. It's a red light and you want to make a right, because every second you spend behind the wheel of your 110k overgrown minivan alternative, not driving up the ass of the Kia Pimento in front of you fills you with murderous rage. You look right, and there are no visible people, look left, and there is a 1 second gap in traffic, a perfect amount of space for your extended crew-cab single occupant truck to jam in. You floor it and crank the wheel around 4 times to full lock. You don't even feel it as all 9500lbs of your truck crushes the life out of 2 teens who waited for the pedestrian symbol before walking their bikes across the road. You didn't see them because looking from the driver's seat, over the 6ft long and 6ft high hood puts your minimum view distance of 2 kids at 22ft away. Looks like you're gonna be late to pick up your order of Crocs and socks from JCP at the mall.

I'm afraid to be here because you said something about my big truck. Gonna have to add a punsiher skull and tattered "thin blue line flag" silkscreen to my back window to reinforce my manliness.

Imported Kei trucks have the same bed length as the newest F150, if not a little longer.

In the US? I don't think there is a width or height requirement for a Big Rig (something that requires a CDL). Vehicles cannot be over 102 inches wide, any anything over 80 inches wide requires some additional marker lights. Height, anything up to about 13 feet is fine and legal. Maximum length is 65 feet. CDL's are generally for certain weight limits, (26000 lbs) not physical dimensions.

Here is the thing... You can work on both of those. Literacy is not capped by your intelligence, unless you are exceptionally challenged, like mentally unfit to live by yourself challenged. You can read more books, and journal articles, and expand your reading ability.

IQ is mostly bullshit. The test can help identify if you have a disability, but it's relatively worthless for determining how intelligent you can actually be. You can practice pattern recognition and then take an IQ test, but all that means is that you are good at recognizing patterns. There are plenty of "High IQ" people who can't figure out basic shit, like how to put on a spare tire.

So don't feel bad if you don't score well on those tests. They only measure how you did one time on one test.

Part of this statistic is because we have a high immigrant population that doesn’t speak English as their primary language.

Let's not blame the immigrants for this.

First, there is no official language of the US. Literacy tests can be administered in Spanish, Arabic, Japanese, or whatever language the subject predominantly uses.

Second, the US does not have unusually high ratio of immigrant. That's a lie that had been created by right-wing bigots. The US is about 14% immigrant, which is not unusual compared to European countries.

Anecdotally, most of the complete dipshits I know are born in the US. The people that manage to immigrate are the individuala who can read and write well enough to understand immigration documents (with the help of a lawyer), and have a decent chunk of money, or necessary skillset to sustain their finances in the US.

It's a time commitment I'd rather fill with masturbation and videogames.
