Well, maybe, on Master Chef when teams are formed. Not only a cliche but slightly patronizing, as well.

I don't understand why so many here have to jump in on a positive thread, and attack Harris. She seems to be the new target.

Why not talk about why you're FOR your candidate instead of trying to run down Kamala Harris?

I originally thought this would be a great place to discuss the primaries and candidates. But there's something else going on here. And they're not even particularly clever at it.
