I’ll give them partial credit here for a least recognizing that kamala’s a joke and leaning into it, which I think is the right move in a ‘make the best of a bad situation’ sense.
Relative to trying to treat her like some serious/inspirational orator with gravitas.

yeah but it's similar to the "dark brandon" meme where it's completely derivative of a right-wing meme. their maximum capacity for wit is simply "what if we take what a right-wing meme and pretend it's a good thing?"
it occurs to me that this is likely because libs are mostly women or feminine-brained men.

shocking she'd go for kamala:
Lydia Frances Polgreen (born 1975) is an American journalist. She is best known for having been the editor-in-chief of HuffPost.[1] She also spent about one year between 2021 and 2022 as the head of content for Gimlet Media.[2] Prior to that she was editorial director of NYT Global at The New York Times, and the West Africa bureau chief for the same publication, based in Dakar, Senegal, from 2005 to 2009. She also reported from India.[3][4] She spent much of her early career in Johannesburg, South Africa where she was The New York Times South African Bureau Chief as well. In 2022, after leaving Gimlet, she returned to The New York Times as an opinion columnist.[5]
Personal life
Polgreen's mother is originally from Ethiopia,[11] and her father is a white American.[12]
Polgreen is married to Candace Feit, a documentary photographer.[13] In November 2017, Polgreen was nominated to Out magazine's "OUT100" for 2017 in recognition of her work and visibility.[14] Rejecting rigid binaries, she identifies as both Black and mixed race; as both American and African; as a woman, though her masculine gender expression often leads people to assume she is a man; and as a lesbian, though she has also had heterosexual romantic relationships.[12]

My sentiments exactly Ms. Polgreen. It's been a pleasure to watch my friends and colleagues emerge from a state of near despair; loyal to Joe but knowing their worst fear might come true, to a genuine excitement with Kamala Harris. We can't wait to see her debate Trump. If the old man isn't afraid, he should be. Harris is everything he isn't. In one of the final scenes of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, a soldier slays a dragon that "no man could ever kill." The dying beast looks up and says, "But no man could ever kill me," and the soldier takes her helmet off and says triumphantly, "I'm no MAN!" Soldier on Harris. You've got this.
