    Not only can I pronounce it, it sounds cool.

      I’m willing to bet he’s fine with just being called Abdul as well.

      The “El-” sounds like a title.

    I’m more European than he is because all of my ancestors were traveling whores, apparently.

    That said, I’ve no difficulty pronouncing his name. If you can’t, that must make you one of the following; illiterate, lazy, stupid, or racist.

    Any one of these should disqualify somebody whose job is to work for the people.

    That “nobody” is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

    If you can learn how to pronounce all the Finnish, Polish, Czech, and Slovak last names in Michigan, names like this should be easy. There's not even a bunch of silent consonants in there!

    They’re even using their same old tired playbook from 20 years ago. Remind me again, did that work well against Barack Hussein Obama?

    • ThunderComplex@lemmy.today ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yes, it worked really well for Obama. So I guess keep it coming?

    If you can say Benedict Cumberbach or Timothy Chalemet you can say his name. English has the sounds already there, you just don’t want to do it.

    “Mike Rogers” is also rather an odd name to a Native American too, so go back to your own country mate.

    Choose freedom? Like the freedom to be charged for criticising data centres? That sort of freedom? How about the freedom to be executed in the street by law enforcement? I’ll pass, I don’t really want their freedom.

    I can’t even pronounce “gigantic” correctly half the time and even i was able to get this right on the second try.

    I had a friend who has 10 names m.youtube.com/watch?v=NmwBFfvYyUM

        America is a de facto 2-party state.

        Voting for either of the 2 parties is a vote for the 2-party state.

      I value the good of the collective over the good of the individual though

      Also I’m not American so my opinion doesn’t matter

        I value the good of the collective over the good of the individual though

        The collective is made up of individuals.

        Also I’m not American so my opinion doesn’t matter

        Your opinion matters, however small it might be, and is probably better than that of many Americans.

        The rights of individuals is more important than any nation.
