    I mean tbf there’s ways to read that as a little yikes when taken out of context.

    Plus she’s not exactly saying the weight of all that context is a burden the way Marx is.

      Harris spoke about the importance of equity in education policy, noting that not all students are offered the same opportunities to succeed, depending on financial resources and the environments they are raised in. She said “none of us just live in a silo” and “everything is in context,”

      That does feel like she thinks it’s a burden. I’m honestly surprised, given her career pre vice presidency, but it seems like a reasonable take to me.

        Like most liberal women, she has been relentlessly slagged in the media since she got any amount of recognition. I’d look more closely at her actual politics and history, because while it isn’t perfect, it certainly is different than how the public seems to (negatively) perceive her.

        Even on its face the quote isn’t bad, especially if you compare it to what comes out of Trump’s mouth daily.
