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.

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.

Huh, I haven’t really heard people call her “Nancy”. Last time I recall her coming up amongst Republicans, it was “Pelosi” with a reference to the attack on her husband.

I could never bear to watch any of his speeches. Too cringe painful.
“Kamala” is hard to pronounce, yet they never had a problem with “Barack Hussein Obama pause for the scary middle-eastern/Islamic-sounding name to sink into racist audience”
And I love when Palin got called out directly for that and she backpedaled so hard, trying to make it sound like they always do that with everyone and started rattling off republican full names like that made a single bit of difference…
Can we get a truth-o-meter to scrutinize all candidates during debates like they do in futurama?

The one thing I find difficult about it is that I’ve heard it mispronounced so many times, I have to consciously think about which version is correct. I blame right-wing assholes for that.
