I find it funny that how you pronounce Kamala's name has become a sign of political alignment

At this point, I think (some) people on the right are just pronouncing it wrong to show their political views. It's kinda funny to watch TBH, because it's not hard to get it right. She pronounces it just straight up, Kahm-uh-luh but because Trump has started doing it, some other republicans now (purposefully?) put an emphasis on the middle syllable, by saying Ka-MA-luh. I'm not saying all Republicans are a hive mind or whatever, I always hate when both sides use that insult. I'm just poking fun at some MAGA morons, though there are smart conservatives who are decent people and take the time to pronounce It right.

Yeah, I really don’t care if who uses what pronunciation.


MAGA morons
So, is this a term the mainstream media is spewing or did you pick it up from Roosevelt? Chill out kid.

Both are whitewashed pronunciations of her name. In reality it’s pronounced Kum-la

I remember reading somewhere that there was a proper Indian pronunciation, and a proper African pronunciation, but like all politicians, they can say whatever they feel sounds good.

The pronunciation in most Indian languages (including Hindi) is Kuh-MUH-lah:

In African contexts, particularly in Uganda and parts of East Africa where there may be Indian influence (due to Indian migration), the name Kamala  follows a similar pronunciation, Kah-MAH-lah, though it can vary depending on regional accents.

I suppose the American version is KAH-ma-la.

It's honestly fucking annoying and the thing I hate about politics

If you have done any of the following you should be genocided 

1. Call Obama Obummer
2. Mispronounce Kamala's name (unless you are Trump given his speech impediment)
3. Call Trump Drumpf
4. Call Bush ..... Busch

Just to add, underestimating people cost Hillary her election, even though everyone agreed on her name.

You should read Sun Tzu instead of IWRA posts. It's entirely possible that part of Trump's success with African voters is his insistence of using the African pronunciation.

One thing that really hurt Trump is how Roger Stone was a huge reason that an̈ underground classic swept through black America. A documentary on Bill Clinton's African American relatives who he denies. Stone anticipated Hillary's run and was amazing as was a few other political strategists. 

Some geniuses are currently working on the same things and seeing their fruit and hopefully it pays off, we just need Trump to win one more time to have any chance of being competitive in the future. If things stay the same it will be difficult for Democrats to win future elections given that red states in 4 years Wil be getting more electoral votes due to the fact people are fleeing blue states because of just how much blue states such as California leave so much people impoverished.

It would actually be better for the country if Trump got shot so the revolution happens faster.

I’m not insult By conservatives, I’m insulting a specific brand of people, ie. Dumb conservatives. Just as liberal hive-minders exists, so do MAGA morons.

Okay, that’s fair but he also calls her Kamabla all the time, and he does make fun of her name.

I don't like either one, I prefer Harris to Trump, I say, "Ka-MA-luh".

Really, does this matter?  I don't care if you say I-RACK or A-Rock (Iraq).  We still killed a lot of stranger mother fuckers.

Stop with this petty bullshit!

I don’t think you’re a moron for mispronouncing Kamala. I just think it means you don’t care how it’s pronounced.

Meh. I don’t think mispronouncing her first name matches the standard of what you’ve listed.

I do have a gripe with people who call her “Commiela”… there’s truth behind it, but it’s unproductive and annoying.

You’re not an Idiot because you pronounce something wrong, anyone who thinks that is just petty.

I’m saying if you pronounce her name wrong on purpose because orange man also does it, then your an idiot.
