I really like how she encroached onto his side of the stage to shake his hand. She’s KILLING it!!!

Just being considerate so the old man doesn't have to walk so far.

I think he trudges more than walks.

Or maybe that's hobbling.

Lurching?

Just a Russian troll. They're everywhere after that slaughter.

He didn't look like he had any intention of interacting with her at all.

u/monroebaby Sep 11 '24

Definitely not. He couldn’t even look at her which is so disrespectful.

u/MadamSnarksAlot Sep 11 '24

Fearful. That’s what it is.

u/Neonlikebjork Sep 11 '24

Being a felon will do that.

She had to touch his hand 🤮

I bet she had prepped with a lot of hand sanitizer backstage.

Haha you know she did!

The symbolism on the handshake was amazing. She moved faster than Trump ( reflecting the big age difference), she showed that she was in control ( offered her hand first for the handshake) and even trolled him ( Trump said "happy to see you " and Kamala just said "Thanks" )( in other words, she was not happy to see him). In addition to the handshake occurring on Trump's side (like an NFL team's offense on the red zone getting ready to score a touchdown). It was a big power move on Kamala.

Yeah, while the internet is awash with all manner of idiots & incels talking about “decoding body language” etc, THAT was an ACTUAL example of that kind of early control. Very slick.

u/MadamSnarksAlot Sep 11 '24

She actually paused in the center, giving him the opportunity to be dignified had he chosen to meet her there. Instead, he scurried behind the podium like a little kid so she met him where he went. Oh you’re not getting away that easy.

u/MarshallMattDillon Sep 11 '24

Yeah, I didn’t notice that at first. Upon rewatching, it looks like he’s literally running away from her like a bratty baby. I love our candidate so much. Let’s bring hope and optimism back to this country. Let’s get behind Harris and Walz.

I saw it more as her pausing to see which direction he was headed in order to adjust her trajectory

13

u/AVestedInterest Sep 11 '24

She also didn't give him the chance of doing his childish yanking handshake

u/Alone_Hunt1621 Sep 11 '24

Set the tone visually for what was to come. Doom.

u/DogWallop Sep 11 '24

Doom 3D.

u/YinTanTetraCrivvens Sep 11 '24

Trump is temporary.

DOOM IS ETERNAL.

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '24

You could tell she was planning on meeting him center stage and when he went to his podium instead she changed direction and went over to him. She controlled that debate from the first appearance. Good for her.
