Comment on When Harris had to pick a VP, all media kinda agreed it should be a white male, to balance the fact that she is black and a woman. So Waltz is the DEI hire.

  Yeah I almost used her as an example but I didn’t want to deal with the inevitable “it’s so she isn’t confused with her husband.

    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.

      I do see a lot of republicans just call her “Nancy” but she definitely gets more references to her last name

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