I like mises.org a lot but why on earth do they write Kamala in the title? Have they ever published any article with Joe or Donald or whatever first name in the title? This is so wrong.

It's not their fault that she's more identifiable by her first name than her last, unlike Trump or Biden.

Rand Paul and Marco Rubio are often identified by their first names. It's just a matter of clarity.

Jab's a good one. I definitely wouldn't think of him if someone just wrote "Bush..."

On the other hand, "Lyin' Ted" is very memorable, but he's usually going to be referred to as Cruz in headlines.

Are there articles with the titles including Little Marco whatnot?

If you are serious and want to show respect, you don’t write Kamala no matter what.

She's a psychopathic authoritarian. Why would she deserve respect?

Also, she puts out campaign material referring to herself as Kamala. I think you're just being weirdly touchy about this.

In truth, that's the point of pretty much all campaign positions.
