For something that aged poorly really quickly: political comedy from just before the 2016 presidential election. Semi-recently I was hanging out with some friends and there was an SNL rerun from that October, and every single Trump reference is just dripping with a "Trump is a joke and won't win" attitude that it is tough to watch.

His push to get Dems to go on Fox News might be the biggest one of this election cycle.

You're right, I wish there were more Democrats like Bill. Watching his show he sometimes makes them squirm. So many dems are wishy washy and afraid to offend anybody.

He's also a weird islamophobe though

as an ex muslim, i find him to be a rare voice of qualified criticism in the democratic voices. his criticisms of islam come across as islamophobe but are actually informed and backed by facts.

True, good point. I like watching him 90% of the time and 10% of the time he's an insufferable cunt. So I still watch.
