minus-square@madcaesar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink-9•5 months agoYea… This is just Jon Steward level snark that makes us chuckle and feel like we’re doing something, when in reality we’re doing jack shit. Democrats need to be organizing and running from the local level up and let go of these clever quips. They do nothing except placate people. I honestly believe Jon coming back did more harm than good. He’s giving leftist an outlet so they don’t actually do anything with their anger. All these comedians are just letting us vent our energy, meaning it’s not used to organise and run for something. You can’t tell people the country is going under, while also cracking jokes.
minus-squareFlying Squidlinkfedilink8•5 months agoLAUGHING IS THE WORST POSSIBLE THING ANYONE CAN EVER DO! We all must be grim and serious because we all know that those Jon Stewart level people never achieve anything. Other than becoming president of Ukraine. But really, what has Zelensky accomplished?
minus-square@madcaesar@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink-9•5 months agoThank you for missing the point. Keep laughing.
minus-squareFlying Squidlinkfedilink7•5 months agoThen do explain to me the point since I literally showed you someone turning comedy into organizing and running for something. Because you seem to be missing the point of political satire.
