Note To Politicians, Dabbing During A Debate Does Not Make You More Likable

You know what's crazy about this video? Loretta Sanchez truly believes she nailed it. Now, I'm not saying it was a horrible dab or anything. The execution was actually better than I would expect from some try-hard politician who is running for some position I don't care enough to look up. I am just saying that it couldn't have been further from achieving it's intended goal. My skin damn near crawled out the door when she went forehead to elbow, yet she couldn't be more positive that she just ingratiated herself to a whole new demographic by doing so. Did you hear the conviction in her voice when she said "there definitely is". There's not a single person on Earth that has ever been more proud of themselves than Loretta Sanchez, and that includes Donald Trump. I bet she spent night after night typing 'dancing black quarterback' into YouTube just so she could perfect her secret weapon prior to the debate. Probably dabbed in the mirror for hours and hours after asking her kids for tips on how to fix her form just so that her horribly forced pandering didn't miss it's mark. All that work, and all she accomplished was getting a bunch of millennials to sympathize with her competition.

The entire purpose of that dab was too relate to those that have absolutely no idea who she is or what she stands for, but the only person I felt a kinship with was the women that had the exact same look on her face that I did. A look that SCREAMED "I am so incredibly embarrassed on your behalf". I'm pretty sure I can't vote for either of these two women, and I probably wouldn't even do so if I could. However, you can count me as Kamala Harris supporter. Fuck her policies and viewpoints. They likely wouldn't effect me anyway. I support Kamala Harris because she stays in her lane. I support Kamala Harris because she remembers what it was like when her father told a cringeworthy sex joke around her friends. I support Kamala Harris because she doesn't think every 18-35 year old vote can be had with a a dance move that is so antiquated that it only works if done ironically. I support Kamala Harris because I can feel her fucking pain just by looking at this photo...
