On a different subject - how the hell are we going to have a socially distanced Inauguration ceremony on the capital steps with a pandemic still raging?
You don't. Only those who need to be there ought to be there, have those being sworn n wear a mask and gloves. Swear them in, done.

You could set up lots of public viewing locations spread all over Washington. With mandatory mask-wearing, of course.

The proper term is actually "Senator", because that's what she will be until Inauguration Day.
I think I can with 100% certainty claim that no one pronounces the name Kamala as "Senator."

Well, Senator is the higher ranked title.... Senator Harris, Vice-President Elect.... she's got a few titles [or should, anyway]

Twitter, and the internet as a whole, isn't working too well today, but I guess that's to be expected.
It does that when a tweet you post was posted as an answer to another tweet. I don’t think there’s a way to single out an “answer-tweet”.

  1. Latinx are not as homogeneous as models predicted. Look at Cubans and Puerto Ricans. They have very different concerns and political leanings. Florida had a huge shift away from models because the Cuban community fell for the Socialism scare, and it is a particularly powerful fear for people who have roots in Cuba under Castro.
It's basically the same as tossing Americans, Canadians and Mexicans in one big bucket and talking about "North Americans".

Or talking about Europeans, Africans or Asians as if they were one big, homogenous mass of people.

It's just basic, rudimentary racism.
