@mozz I would just try to mix it up a bit: Kamala Harris, VP Harris, the vice president, etc. Compare it to however you refer to male/white politicians in everyday speech and just try to balance it. If you’re calling Biden Joe or referencing a conversation between Bernie and Kamala or whatever, no problem. What really shouldn’t happen intentionally or not is unequal parallels like “the VP debate between Kamala and Vance” or “Biden and Kamala need to articulate their message better.”
I’ll start calling her “Harris” and see how that seems. Like I say, I think you kinda have a point that it has a subtle impact even if the way it got arrived at has nothing to do with misogyny.
Sure. What should I call her?
