Start looking at how many people say “Kamala” versus how many people say “Joe”, “Tim”, “Donald”, or “JD”.
Yeah no thanks. Its hard enough to get away from american politcs at a time like this as it is. Ive no interest or capacity to go out of my way to subject myself to more of it than i have to.
Okay! Next time someone implies US political discourse is getting a lil sexist, think to yourself, “Ive no interest or capacity to go out of my way to subject myself to more of it than i have to” instead of weighing in.
Hoe many Joes, Tims and Donalds do you know, and how many Kamalas? In the USA, it's a name that stands out. I'm sure you intend to imply that it's patronizing in some way, but there are oerfectly legitimate reasons to call her by her first name and you're not doing yourself any favors by just assuming that none of them apply here.
I’m glad you understand what I’m implying.
It's not like you were subtle about it. But being understandable doesn't make it right. "Chickens build laser boxes" is also perfectly understandable.
