Yeah she did, and you started another comment thread in this post about it. Talk about it there. You don't need to railroad every conversation into trying to convince people that Harris is a monster. Let other people talk about other stuff from time to time.
It isn't derailing, the comment was about Trump's chances getting smaller, when there are material reasons for Trump's chances to get larger despite his poor performance specifically due to salient issues in swing states.
Counterpoint: Harris doesn't need to be a monster such that it is a dereliction of democratic duty to not speak about it constantly.
Post-script to that counterpoint: You don't need to railroad people talking about Copmala Handcuffs being a flamethrower unto human life and liberty her entire career into trying to convince people it's worth helping and hoping she gets a new fuel tank handed to her.
