Political Humor

This a completely wrong view. Nobody is judging arguments based on the person making them here, we agree when she says things that are true. However, in politics, it is all to easy for someone to say things people want to hear in order to achieve power, and then use that power to pursue an agenda completely contrary to that. Look at Fetterman or Sinema. These people are opportunists who are only interested in advancing their own careers, cannot be trusted, and we should make efforts to root them out an expose them to avoid the mistake of investing them with power, because they can be utterly disasterous otherwise.

The disclaimer is entirely necessary, because people need to understand the fact that she's just co-opting these talking points for the purpose of advancing her career.

This whole perspective of "people change" or "we need to be forgiving" does not apply, at all, to politicians. If a politician uses their position of power to do evil shit, and they come to regret it, then my forgiveness is completely contingent on them retiring from politics forever and never again seeking a leadership position. What, are there not enough people in the country to find someone who doesn't already have a proven track record of doing shitty things in office?
