Seems like it is, but looks a little different. Just want to make sure before I borrow this and spread it around.

By the way, noticed someone else asking for longer video. Is that available somewhere.

Thanks!

I wanted her more aggressive. She was gracious but not the kill shot I wanted to see

Not only could she not be seen as an aggressive woman, she couldn’t be an angry black woman.

She did fantastic.

She saw that it knew where the bullshit was! The symbolism is something he'll never live down.

that one didn't lie, and the other did;
that one was courteous, and the other was rude;
that one had class, the other had a fly on his covid helmet.

With the proverbial 4 minutes left. Can't you hear it? "She was so shrill!" "She was rude!" Blah, blah. She did exactly right, let him hang himself from trump's jockstrap, and won it by 20 per CNN.

less accepting of that.

Debates are partly about just getting through them without hurting the campaign. Joe Biden was able to be aggressive while coming off as a nice guy in the debate with Paul Ryan. But against Palin he had to do the opposite and he did both well.

For Harris, her being a black woman IS something she would have to consider in how it would come off.

That she didn't let Pence walk all over her like he did with Tim Kaine. Even managed to get under his skin a few times!
