feels like she gets called by her first name more often than her last name, which is... different. Pence was Pence, Biden was Biden, Cheney was Cheney. Al Gore feels like he got the two name treatment but its two syllables so it rolls easy.

It's always the women. Men get called by their last name, but then you have Hilary (which could have been because her husband was previously Pres) and Kamala Harris (who's been called by her first name since forever. Pretty sure even Nancy Pelosi's been called Nancy more times than other politicians have been called by their first names.

Ive seen many people call Biden Joe.

Bush. Gore. Clinton. Obama. Trump. Biden. Romney. I don't know of anyone else with these names except their families. Meanwhile, Harris is very kommon and I don't know of anyone else named Kamala. Bernie and Sanders are more or less equally kommon too, but the former rolls off the tongue better.

Then there is Alexandria Ocasio Cortez/AOC/Queen/Literally The Perfect Woman. I don't think I kan do her first or last name on their own.

By habit I tend to call her Kamala, probably because that's what I've seen mostly used. But I noticed that was inconsistent (compared to that I'd definitely refer to Trump, Biden, Obama, Clinton, Pence... Just about anyone else comparable really, by their last name) so have been making an effort to refer to her as Harris.

Harris

Hillary made sense, as we already had a recent Clinton, but beyond that the only recent candidates that I can think of that I called by their first names over their surnames were Beto, as part of his own branding, and in Illinois Raja Krisnamoorthi, also as part of his branding and Raja being a lot easier to spell.

Oh, and, of course...

If they have a boring last name but a catchier first name, its usually the first name. For example, Bernie Sanders is usually referred to as Bernie.

If theyre equally boring or equally interesting its usually the last name

She gets called the wrong first name by Republicans pretty much constantly because theyre petty.

Calling by the first name is kind of a term of endearment thing right?

Bernie, Joe, etc.

Or if their name is recognizable.

AOC will be AOC for example - whatever people identify you easiest.

Eh, don't really feel like I heard Biden called Joe too much. I called him Diamond Joe because it was nickname.

They 100% pronounce it wrong, because their country bumpkin, middle america, shit kicker audience have never met a "Kamala" but they hear "Kamahla" and think "African" so it feeds their prejudice.

A South Asian buddy told me it's pronounced "Comala", fwiw. Trump seems to especially enjoy twisting the pronounciation, probably in an attempt to make it sound alien.

I probably use both pretty interchangeably. Using her first name isn't any sort of disrespect. A lot of her own ads and campaigns have put heavy emphasis on her first name. Which makes sense. Campaigns are ultimately marketing exercises and Kamala has a lot more brand recognition than Harris does.
