Kamala has strong camp appeal

I been knew she was lowkey camp when she talked about her love of yellow school buses 😂. But the media with Republican assistance led me to believe she was kinda of an intellectual airhead for the past 4 years. I knew she was AG of California but I didn’t realize how accomplished of an AG she truly was. I love this chica. She is my mom without the emotional baggage.

What is that cake???

Did someone leave the cake out in the rain again?

[quote]Gays are going to spend the next four years imitating everything she says.

I doubt it.

I’ll be giving the boys plenty of material!

i've already said "shrimp n grits" while rushing to my car

John Davidson singing “Kamala” in place of Camelot

She’s acting like Lindsay Graham forgetting to code-switch in the heat of the moment.

It's not camp in the traditional sense where everyone is in on the joke. It's called the "Veep" effect. Taking her seriously depends on the audience.

How refreshingly normal!

Hillary was campier.

Adoring (or pretending to adore) Hillary, her pantsuits, and her occasional caftans was campy. She herself isn't/wasn't.

Definitely of the unintentional camp variety.

I have no opinion on the camp question. What I want to know is whether this cake be ordered by mail.

R12 is correct. The act of supporting Hillary was camp (jokes on Modern Family, etc.) Hillary was not camp. That is why no drag queens do her.

There are going to be so many Kamala Harris drag queens if she is elected.

As if

This woman is going to be the next president. I can just feel it. She has the most natural charisma talking to real people since Bill Clinton. Obama had a lot of charisma too but always gave me brilliant professor vibes. Did anyone watch the CNN interview. How was it?

One thing Kamala lacks is charisma. No, she's no Bill Clinton or Obama.

I do love her.

Ah, but Tim more than makes up for it.

She does not lack charisma. I don't know how you could watch her acceptance speech at the DNC, or the packed rallies full of fired up supporters, and say that with a straight face.

R22 They are haters. Their idea of a female with charisma is Madge circa 1989 on the tonight show rocking a cone bra.

Or even with gayface.

Michelle Obama has charisma. Kamala, no, not so much.

R25 You really don’t think so? I do. And I’m always real about these things regardless of my political views. Hill didn’t have charisma and I loved me some Hill. Sarah Palin had mad charisma, even as a bumbling idiot. May I ask what are your political views? George Bush had charisma, Al Gore did not.

They're gonna walk out and toss that uneaten food into the nearest trash receptacle, no?

Oh look r27 talked you up. R28. Hi Vance.

"I Went to Howard With Kamala Harris. Here’s What It Taught Us."

"It was a place where you could succeed because you were Black, not in spite of it."

R30 You see, she looks like a regular lightskin sista in that pic. Albeit looking super gorgeous along with her besties. This right wing nonsense accusing of her cosplaying as a black woman just needs to stop.

I don’t see it.

I love this, and love how she can switch gears… like, somebody could conclude she’s sweet but vapid from this. They’d be mistaken and would know it if they ever faced her as opposition in a court of law or a Senate hearing.

Caramel cake is a southern delicacy. I don't think they have caramel cake outside of the South. It's the favorite cake of Savannah.

OP tragically for you, white Carolina Herrera suits don't come in size 48.

You can find caramel cake in almost any soul food restaurant. I've never seen chocolate & caramel, though.

R36 I was gna say that but I didn’t want to take away from r34’s main point that it is a southern delicacy.

The gays at DL can make even buttoned-up, hawkish neocon sourpuss superachiever Condi (in tribute to her Troll) Rice seem "camp."

Condi is naff

There's actually a bunch of fraus on YouTube who love to perform what they think is a Kamala Harris impersonation. It's debatable if they're actually capturing Kamala like Maya did.

"I have - how you say ? - ka, ka, ka...rizzy..mom ? Oh damn I no how to say. But I have it."

R26 C'mon, during her time as VP did anyone ever associate Kamala with the word charisma? And that laughably phony video you posted, totally scripted and staged. No that's not an example of charisma.

So was this a campaign angle like having Hillary say she kept hot sauce in her purse

I'm speaking.

I think this campaign angle was to laugh harder at JD Vance and the 'sprinkle stuff' he didn't know he was buying. Imagine if she walked into the cafe and said, "I'll take a piece of that thing with the drizzle on it." ? Republicans would drag her over the media.

[quote] Michelle Obama has charisma. Kamala, no, not so much.

Honey, Kamala is hiding her light under a bushel. When she's president and doesn't have to worry about terrifying white men like Jeff Sessions or Bill Barr, she is going to let you see her Charisma, Uniqueness, Nerve and Talent.
