Kamala Harris, campaigning in Iowa, tells 'em to 'learn to code'

California presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris has been campaigning in Iowa and apparently been telling the local poli-sci majors to "learn to code...."

The scene is a beauty parlor, so it may well be that she told one of its Millennial denizens upset at her low-skill job after graduating from college with a useless major to learn code if she wants a better-paying job.

The problem, of course, is that it's a dismissive sort of advice to throw out to someone who might just be unsuited to learning code and, in any case, clearly had dreams of doing something else...

If you had just learned to code, you wouldn't have this lousy job, she seems to be saying. Don't ask me to create an economy with jobs for everyone, because I have no idea.

Which she doesn't. And all of that goes to show just how unsuited she is to the presidency.

Soon enough, Harris will be out of the race, and then the chain can continue: look forward to Harris being told to code when she's out on her ear.

What about the 15 percent of the population with an IQ of 85 or below?That’s 45 million people out there.

Group most likely to vote RAT.

Kamalalala, learn the Constitution.
Natural born citizen only.
Natural born citizens are NATURALLY citizens because they are born with ONE nationality and can’t possibly be anything else.
You were born an Indian national and a Jamaican national, the accident of geography and a misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment got you US citizenship.
You are NOT a natural born citizen.

My cousin's daughter (so that makes her my first cousin once removed? Second cousin? I dunno, whatever) was a very good performer in musical theater. She was in big time productions on Broadway and in Chicago but she's tiny and with all her talent she could never get above being the understudy to the female lead. She finally decided it wasn't going to happen and she was going to learn to code. She went to some sort of boot camp for it. now she's doing very well for herself in California, coding away and rising quickly in her profession in part because of her outgoing personality and ability to present effectively (which for tech people is frankly the best way to get yourself in the fast track... everyone is smart, some brilliant but most can't speak in public worth a damn based on my observations over a 30 year engineering career. The ones that can rise quickly).

"Learn to code" is an insult when it's used as a means to cavalierly dismiss a class of people who's livelihoods you just said you were planning to ruin, as the dem politicians and the press did in West Virginia. But it's also good advice for those seeking a change of course.

I’d bet Harris couldn’t code her way out a bathroom...

I’d bet Harris could BLOW her way out of a bathroom...

Yes. Telling someone to “learn to code” set the SJWs reeeeeeeeeing just a few months ago. I bet they won’t criticize Heels Up for it, though.

[LibWhacker]

Of course, she knows nothing about coding herself.

My cousin's daughter (so that makes her my first cousin once removed? Second cousin? I dunno, whatever)

Your cousin's daughter is your first-cousin-once-removed.

Your child (assuming you have one) and your cousin's daughter are therefore second-cousins. (Their children would be third-cousins to each other.)

English language lesson for today!

If learning to code is the answer to all under-paid and govt-displaced vocations, then teaching to code should be basically the only thing state colleges do.

There is a reason nobody is suggesting unfortunate folks learn to liberal arts.

[A_Former_Democrat]

I’m coding, I’m coding !

[Secret Agent Man]

I’m surprised she didn’t speak from her vast experience and say, learn to work on your back with your legs wide open.

[faithhopecharity]

Harris should be tried and imprisoned —under code — for soliciting funds under false pretenses, imho.

[W.]

Harris is a freak, just like all the Dems in DC...and they’re all hell-bent on destroying America. Democracy, my ass! Representative Constitutional Republic, TYVM! Ahh, ahh! (Sam Kinison reference) :)

[Kickass Conservative]

I’m surprised she didn’t say learn to blow. It got her Career started.

[Nothingburger]

Harris should be an inspiration to us all. Even a slut can become a US senator. Land of Opportunity indeed!

[W.]

Either that, or suck...

[upchuck]

You mentioned the names "Monica" and "Kamala" in the same sentence.

Actually, I thought about that as I typed the sentence. That's why I referred to her as Harris instead of Kamala :)

[Freedom56v2]

Sure. Learn to code when a many of the jobs go to foreign nationals rather than degreed and highly experienced developers.

Stupid lying bitch.

Ah fiiiinally a “rest of the story” post~learning to code software is no guarantee of job security!

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

#9. I thought Harris was talking about “finger coding” such as my giving her the middle finger.

As we used to say in the old days, hey Cameltoe, “sit on this and rotate”.

I hope my “coding” isn’t too rusty.
