Quotes without context make great soundbites and attacks. How popular of an attack here in Canada is "budgets will balance themselves" which is ludicrous out of context, but made sense where it was being used.

Intent and context don't matter to voters, impact and soundbites do.

Yeah, but Trump fans have to try and draw some parallels between Trump’s insane ramblings and Harris to distract how bad Trump is.

"you will own nothing, and you will be happy"

Go find that "quote"

It's my favourite because of how blatantly false that narrative is.

I was hoping they'd include the clip of Harris telling people that in cloud technology, your data is actually stored in the literal clouds above us! "It's up here in this cloud, that exists above us. It's no longer in a physical place."

Well that's just absurd, everyone knows that the internet is a series of tubes.

You are so far behind the times you libtard. It was in the tubes but the tubes have moved to the clouds so the clouds are now the tubes and the internet is in the clouds. Right beside Sky Daddy. He is the one that makes sure the cloud internet is safe.

I appreciated your effort and analysis as well Itse.

She will certainly have the opportunity in the debates to show significant distance between herself and Trump.

Over time she should be able to ditch her strange rambling style and cringy sound bites and become more articulate.

And again, not that it matters, am not a Trump supporter at all. He should be in a jailhouse, not the White House.

I think she already is a lot better... and she clearly has a better writing team

She repeats the question as she forms her thoughts to respond.
Wow; they really got her with those quotes!

She must be the best presidential candidate of all time if that's all they can go after.

You fall for things very easily when the attacks come from the right, this was another in a line of examples.

The thing about Christofacists is they now have free reign to say the quit parts loud, and nobody really seems to care, because they then might have to examine their own rolls in allowing it to get to this point.

How is this the Christian position. An example is Korea. Korea is as Christian as it gets and women have gained legal rights since the Republic of Korea was formed.

Even North Korea has equality laws. NORTH KOREA!

Settle down, I didn't say Christian. And I'm confused by your interpretation of religion in Korea.

Just look at the number of "Christian" countries that have had women presidents and prime ministers.

The right wing protestant evangelical interpretation of Christianity isn't consistent with most Christians outside of the United States.

OK, well I don't mean to shock you, but I suspect 95%99.9999% of what "Christian" politicians and public speakers do and advocate for are not things Jesus would endorse.

Right. It's crazy how he can just say it matter of factly. I'm a Christian and this is a Christian position. No, it's your position, coward.

I have often wondered what “American Christians” believe. It almost feels like a lot of people (in power) take their beliefs and ascribe to Christianity, regardless of if it is what Jesus did or say
