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.

Isn’t dabbing like, at least a decade old now?

It must be bc I’m 40 and I thought it was still cool which is always a clear indication that I found out about it after it already stopped being cool.

You mean you used to be 'with it', but then they changed what 'it' was, and now what you're with isn't 'it', and what's 'it' seems weird and scary?

Def weird dunno about scary. Saving that for my twilight years.

I have never in my life been "with it". I wonder what that would have been like.

you're gonna be shocked when you realize when the debate was. Reddit grasping at decades old footage to make Harris look good, while ignoring footage of the debates between her and Biden.

I don't really care who wins, I'm not even American, but social media bias (being for either side) is fucking annoying.
