If you ask me, I’m upset no one picked up that this consideration was sexist and racist, although it is indeed the best choice for her to win, which reflects how bad US can’t get over race and gender.

    It’s worse than that - it’s like how he and his cronies choose not to call her “Harris” like everyone else calls him “Trump” or the president “Biden.” No one says “Joe,” or “Donald,” or “Barack.” So to add insult to disrespectful injury, they refuse to actually say her name correctly. Hence the “Kamabla” shit he’s been doing too.

      I’ve noticed that too. It was the same with “Hillary.”

      Using the last name is a sign of respect that they don’t think women deserve.

          I was having this conversation the other day. Pelosi came up as a counterexample.

          Now I’m not sure where the line is between subtle disrespect and simply using the more distinctive part of a candidate’s name.
