Comma-la is how she's asked people to pronounce it, iirc.

Do you mean the word for this punctuation mark: "," plus "la"?

Or do you mean "koh+mah+la"?

Yes.

Quote:

Kamala is pronounced “‘comma-la,’ like the punctuation mark,” according to the California senator. Harris wrote in the preface of her 2019 memoir, “The Truths We Hold,” “First, my name is pronounced ‘comma-la,’ like the punctuation mark. It means ‘lotus flower,’ which is a symbol of significance in Indian culture. A lotus grows underwater, its flower rising above the surface while its roots are planted firmly in the river bottom.”

I was listening to a podcast the other day where they were saying the first 'a' in Kamala isn't pronounced as an 'a' at all. Instead it's somewhere between an 'a' sound and an 'o' sound. Almost Komala, with the emphasis on the 'Ko' but not quite!

Did somebody say: Komala?

I also like your spelling. I hope Kamala wins. She's the best choice candidate. She will bring peace to America and the world and she has impeccable control over her emotions. She also has only nice things to say. What a Sweet Pea.

I've heard him speak on the news. I think she chose very well and wisely.

Anyone know anything about Walz? He looks the same vintage as Biden and trump? perhaps Shapiro might have distracted voters from Khamala?

He looks closer to your age than Biden's age. He's 60, half a year or so older than Harris.

From what I understand, Walz has a pretty good track record as a progressive. From what I've seen, he's pretty good!

Well, he's for family leave during pregnancy, pro-choice, became pro-gun control, named a highway after Prince (he signed the bill in purple ink!), and on a personal note (which I'm more than happy about) he's a German Lutheran.
I think he's quick witted enough, and is up on policy, that he'll tear that inbred hillbilly a new a$$hole when they debate.

He seems very good. Not only are his policy positions good, but he's a jovial Midwestern dad who will be very hard for the other side to demonize. And as a down-to-earth guy he will make many male voters comfortable with the ticket.

Sounds like a decent fellow. I'm down.
