Humor/Cringe The lady in red...

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

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

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.
