    You’re right, comedians don’t know anything about politics.

    By the way, you ever hear that great comedy routine from that one comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy? Dude’s hilarious, but he’ll clearly never make it in politics.

      Well he’s leading a country and not trying to gain relevance by posting ‘republicans say they good but actually they BAD’-style content.

        I think you’re missing the point. One’s profession doesn’t immediately disqualify their message. Nothing Hofstetter says in this video is untrue.

        It’s like saying you wouldn’t cash a check written to your name for a million dollars just because you don’t like the type of paper it’s printed on. It’s still a million dollars, and the facts he said are still true. The medium in which it’s conveyed to you is trivial, and ultimately irrelevant, and the fact that you’re so hung up on that particular aspect of it is a little odd.

        I don’t know, this content seems backed up with census data… whereas you just sound triggered and emotional.
