Yeah, rather than offer your comment the benefit of the doubt people immediately jumped on the downvote train - that’s how you know this is Reddit Lemmy!
Honestly, the comment is rude and not helpful. Its an attack on the poster for asking a genuine question, which is total reddit behavior. (But in the context of a joke, its pretty funny, its the kind of banter I’d play with friends - but we all know we’re just joking)
So… what I said was rude, but it is also a pretty funny joke, in context.
???
As I said earlier, the OP had already received serious replies which would have provided them the context to appreciate this as a joke.
I only add /s when I feel what I am saying could reasonably be construed as not being a joke, in context.
As opposed to doing the stereotypical redditor thing and vastly overusing it when its quite obvious in context that something is sarcastic.
Anyway, if what I said is rude, which apparently more people seem to think than not, than this only means that a tiny rephrasing of what Kamala actually said is rude, as it is patronizing.
That’s the next level of the joke, that beyond its immediate application, it is that of pointing out that Kamala is at best an awkward communicator on the fly.
And now we have a third layer of meta irony in that I am explaining to you that a well known quip about context has been misunderstood due to either lack of understanding of or disregard for context.
Me as well!
Other posters had already provided explanations and links, so I made what is apparently a controversial joke reply.

RedditLemmy!You could try adding a /s to see if that helps?
