Idk, when you look at the entire picture, does Trump not have the far easier path to 270 this year? He only has to win 2 states (PA & GA) and that’s it, he wins. Kamala has to win at the minimum 3, and if she loses PA, it becomes even harder for her. Trump could just spend all of his money campaigning in those 2 states and get back in the White House. Yet these odds seem to disagree with me.

Am I trippin?

    Yes. Same as when Hilary Clinton ran. It was Hilary, not Clinton.

    Just social disrespect for women.

      H. Clinton actually used “Hillary!” in her campaign materials, plus sometimes she had to be distinguished from Bill. So she was a special case. I agree with you about Harris and I noticed that myself and wondered about it. I don’t remember it happening with Warren, Gabbard, Haley, Palin, or other female Presidential or VP contenders that I can think of offhand.

      I hear female supporters refer to her as Kamala. I think it might have more to do with the uniqueness of the name. I don’t know of anyone who referred to Sarah Palin as Sarah.

        There have been 0 presidents named Harris. Who else is running with the name Harris? What is more unique about Kamala than Harris?

        Saying Kalama Kamala is unique is just saying, “Wow, look, a Black person. How exotic!”

          Harris is a common name for Americans. Sarah is too. Her name isn’t Kalama. The error shows how exotic it is to you and your autocorrect.

        I hear her mom calls her Kamala. Doesn’t mean most people should, unless she specifically says for people to call her Kamala instead of Harris.

      For Hillary it made sense since her husband was already widely known as Clinton.

        We didn’t refer to the 43rd president as George since his father with the same last name was already the 41st president.

        People did not get confused which Clinton was running in 2016.

          No, we called him George W., Junior, or Dub’ya. You can’t call him George because his dad was also George.

          Edit: I mean, you can call him George, or Bush. You can call him whatever you want. But people in general called him the names I gave, to avoid confusion.

        How did you refer to Hillary Clinton before you saw a campaign slogan?

          Full name, since public perception at the time associated the name “Clinton” with Bill.
