A gentle reminder when talking about about the presumptive Democratic nominee for President, from someone who doesn't talk politics here:

Referring to someone by their last name is generally a sign of respect. Referring to someone by their first name is generally a sign of intimacy. Consider how people have referred, in short form, to other nominees and Presidents:

Bush, Clinton, Gore, Bush, Kerry, Obama, Romney, McCain, Biden, Trump

And then

Hillary and Kamala

See a pattern?

*Harris* is running for President. Personally, until she invites me to use her first name, I'll be treating her with the same baseline level of respect I treat other Presidential candidates.

Maybe you should too.

@Impossible_PhD the transition was from @bidenHQ to @KamalaHQ so maybe you should reevaluate.

@Impossible_PhD they won't change that because it was Biden/Harris. No-one is saying you can't say Harris.
Factually, the official channel is also saying Kamala, so take in new information please. Or don't.

@Impossible_PhD Every Harris social media bio lists Momala too, BTW.

@kynyc @Impossible_PhD Yeah I think thereā€™s enough here to call for a retraction. This is semantic reductiveness when the evidence shows sheā€™s leaned into ā€œKamalaā€ since her 2020 campaign. Letā€™s maybe not do the whole language police thing on this topic. Support Harris, donate to Kamala, vote for Kamala Harris.
