If you didn’t already have a crush on Kate, that is. If you’re late to the game, she is the first openly lesbian comedian on the cast of SNL, and arguably the best Hillary Clinton impersonator we will see during the upcoming presidential election.

1. She understands the true meaning of life. Why are we all really here? Beyoncé, duh.

2. She does ELLEN so well that it’s hard to even tell the two twins apart.

3. She is BFFs with Aidy Bryant, another fellow SNL goddess, and they aren’t afraid to get down on the streets of NYC.

4. She is not ashamed to yell at people who give her anxiety in the bathroom. WE’VE ALL BEEN THERE.

5. She is the ~notorious~ RBG.

6. She will giddy up for feminism with Lena Dunham. New bumper sticker? Yes, plz.

7. She plays a BADASS Martha Stewart and she doesn't care what you think.

8. She is the Justin Bieber that all women actually want.

9. She whips her hair back and forth even when she’s wearing a button-up and a sweater at the office on a Monday.

10. Tina Fey had Sarah Palin, Will Ferrell had George Bush, but Kate has Hillary Clinton down perfect. It’s impossible to even tell them apart.
