      Harris wore this at the convention, and I loved it! Even if she didn’t mean anything deeper by it, I still read some snark into it.

          Absolutely, there’s a lot of planning that goes into events like this down to the wardrobes people on stage are gonna wear. Was it planned because Republicans lost their shit over the tan suit during the Obama administration and it was a jab at that? Maybe, probably, and it also serves as a way to more quickly identify shich day a soud bite is taken from and a bit harder for oppositional propaganda to stitch disparate quotes together to push an alternative narrative.

            It also fits in with the wider pattern of calling the opposition out for their weirdness and pettiness. A subtle “you all remember the tan suit thing, right?” as well as bait for another unforced error.

              At the end of the day the choice fulfills a bunch of roles, probably even beyond just the sound bite splicing challenges and poking fun at conservatives.

                Every once in a while I forget that there are like hundreds of professional people whose job it is to do this stuff

      Thankfully ketchup is a little too spicy for someone from Minnesota so we don’t have to worry about Walz putting it on a hot dog.
