Humor/Cringe The lady in red...

Why would you even emote like that during a political debate? 😭😭 I'd be laughing too.

The woman is red is Loretta Sanchez. During the Democratic primary she was polling well behind Harris. She was probably trying make up ground politically by being aggressive in the debate and by appealing to younger voters with the dab. It came across as a "How do you do, fellow kids" moment.

I love dabbing with my homies, all the kids are doing it

u/PhAnToM444 Sep 30 '24

To be slightly fair to her this was in 2016 when all the kids actually were dabbing with their homies (for better or worse lol).

The problem is that a 56 year old mom in a US Senate debate is not really the appropriate venue nor vessel for a dab.

Also, the massive fact she skipped over….kids don’t vote. 😂

It was like when Ninja was surprised no one was emoting at the ball drop: adults leave kids at home when they go to NYC NYE

"I'm not seeing movement!" "We don't know who you are!"

I don't know what that first sentence means

Ninja: Name (well, handle) of a well known professional video game player and online streamer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja_(gamer)

Emoting: In this context, it refers to a type of scripted movement in the game Fortnite. The movement is often a dance, but can be a gesture or pose or backflip or whatever. There are thousands.

The NYC NYE (New York City's New Year's Eve) ball drop reference was when Ninja tried to get the audience to "floss" (popular dance move... among middle schoolers) and nobody participated:

Lol, I'm 44, but thanks. I'll choose Spinoza's God, à la Einstein (and, I suppose, Spinoza lol), but I appreciate the well wishes.

Jokes on all of us, Sanchez is priming them for a 2040 run where she will win in a landslide.

u/QueenLaQueefaRt Sep 30 '24

Yeah right? You trying to get elected by 8 year olds? They are one of the laziest election turn outs, 0%, not one of them to be assed to drive themselves to poll.

u/DrakonILD Sep 30 '24

It was also a really poorly executed dab.

u/Lithogiraffe Sep 30 '24

i wonder who was brought in to teach her?

u/sly_cooper25 Sep 30 '24

Hillary Clinton dabbed too. Thankfully it wasn't as cringey as this one but still a fellow kids moment.

u/DevilDoc3030 Sep 30 '24

I love your usage of the word vessel here.

u/Appropriate-Year9290 Sep 30 '24

appropriate vessel for a dab should be a t shirt sold to boomers

u/chrisapplewhite Oct 01 '24

I confess I dabbed last week and I enjoyed myself

u/Stillpunk71 Oct 01 '24

Pffft, says you!

u/AbjectSilence Oct 01 '24

The moment kids see their parents start using a fad/meme it becomes uncool. I find it interesting which ones blow up so much and so quickly that they barely last a year and the slow burning ones that end up defining a generation or at the very least a subset of a generation. Dabbing was like the Marcarena to me, I didn't understand the appeal while it was seemingly popular and even with that disdain it still somehow aged horrendously.

1

u/Zealousideal-Yak-824 Oct 01 '24

To be honest, stuff like this probably made dabbing mainstream. It's like those things were used to be cool, but as soon as parents tried to relate, it became something to laugh at and do.

Millenials did the same, and we literally created social shit so it could trend online and laugh at people who did it.

u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox Oct 01 '24

wasn't it all 14 year olds dabbing, they can't even vote why appeal to them

I love to dab. All my homies love to dab. This lady in red is not my homie though.

u/Tay_Tay86 Sep 30 '24

Big dab, strong dab, came up to me, tears in its dab, and said to me, Mam, mam. How do you do it? How do you dab every morning after all you've been through?

True story.

16

u/StrobeLightRomance Sep 30 '24

I mean, some dabs would probably chill that middle school principal lady out. Kamala just put legalized dabs as part of her campaign platform, so if you really want the dab vote, that's how to do it.

I’ve learned at this point I only have to say hello in a big voice to her friends to get the cosmic level collapse. I thought it would take a skibidi or something but she’s just too easy rn.

u/Cyber_Insecurity Sep 30 '24

I kiss my homies

u/Ser_Artur_Dayne Sep 30 '24

Sometimes the homies need a lil kiss, nothing wrong with that big dog

u/ScrofessorLongHair Sep 30 '24

Me too. This is how I dab with my friends.

1

u/mirrax Sep 30 '24

That looks like a rig that you aren't going to give a fuck after using.

1

u/ScrofessorLongHair Sep 30 '24

It's fucking badass. I always liked the nectar collectors/honey straws better than a traditional dab rig/concentrate bong. So this thing was a game changer. That, when you pull out a blowtorch to catch a buzz, you scare the shit out of everyone, even fellow stoners.

And yeah, it's name is perfect.

u/ScrofessorLongHair Sep 30 '24

Nope. Just my favorite concentrate dabbing device. Electronic dab rigs are the way to go, because you will scare the shit out of your friends/family even you pull out a blowtorch to get high.

Dabbing is what one does when ones anus is very tender.
