Neither. Liberal comics aren't even funny anymore.

@TheProphet How are either of them even remotely liberal?
TheProphet · M
@BlueMetalChick Because they only make fun of Conservatives and Republicans.

@BlueMetalChick everything is liberal no matter what u prefer - didn’t you know? BK or McDonalds, Coke vs pepsi. toilet paper under vs over.... its all political.

@TheProphet The qualifications for being liberal do not include “makes fun of republicans and conservatives.” You’re right that they do really only ridicule right wingers but that’s just cos they're in show business. So we know what they DON’T support, but we don’t know what they DO support. And it’s what you DO support that makes a person liberal or conservative or whatever.

@BlueMetalChick I'd say it's pretty obvious where they stand.

@BlueMetalChick or maybe they just have a sense of humour and if anyone thinks it’s really that serious and political then they’ve missed the point completely. Lighten up people.

@TheProphet Is it really? When was the last time you heard Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel advocate for anything liberal? The only examples I can think of might be legalization of gay marriage, and of marijuana. I’ve never heard either of them talk about supporting anything economically or politically liberal, e.g. universal education, single-payer healthcare, infrastructure reform, raising minimum wage, increasing corporate taxation, etc.

I still see what you’re going for though. If I’m correct, you mean like “Hollywood liberals”, yes? Basically people who are part of the McLeftist movement, essentially just establishment democrats not beholden to anything actually associated with leftism and/or modern liberalism.

@NiftyWhite That too. I guess comedy shouldn’t be held to standards that much.
TheProphet · M
@BlueMetalChick They are all the same.
BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F
@TheProphet That was a bit vague. Who are all the same? All Hollywood comedians you mean?
TheProphet · M
@BlueMetalChick Comedians and actors.
