Did you notice there is no support for "I saw some garbage recently . . . " ? No link. No suggestion of where the statement was seen. I don't think I've heard a single person say that Harris needed to "make one comment." Yes - she needed to do more on Palestine, including distancing herself from Biden. But I've never seen anyone suggest that "making one comment" would have made a difference.

It is pretty easy to knock down a straw man of your own creation.
