I figure it’s either because they don’t think joking about human rights is funny, and/or satire is a form of protest. Like there’s nothing funny about treating people as equals despite them being gay or having brown skin or calling their god something like Allah (Arabic for god), or that people should be able to eat.

I do think comedians have clowned on the Democrats for pushing Bernie out in favour of Hillary Clinton. There’s a funny joke about Hillary Clinton that goes something like, Bill and Hillary are traveling through Arkansas (where Bill is from and was governor) and after leaving a service station, Hillary confides in Bill that she used to sleep with the service station attendant. Bill says “yeah imagine where you’d be if you wound up with him,” to which she replies, “yeah he’d have been president,” implying that Hillary was the kingmaker and Bill’s charm alone wouldn’t have gotten him elected. So even the shitty way I told it, I think it’s pretty funny, but I’ve heard it told better. I’m just not a comedian.
