    I don’t get South Park… It’s a pretty leftist show imo or is it implying people don’t understand the sarcasm of its messages?

        “Political choice is between a turd sandwich and a giant douche” being my favorite example.

        Neither candidate is/was ideal, but good lord to say that what’s happening now is no different than when the other side was in power is beyond asinine, it’s an incredibly disingenuous and offensive take on reality. (I know the SP episode wasn’t about the current US political situation, but the current US political situation absolutely has its roots going back to those SP episodes.)

          Wasn’t the episode about US voting system being systematically flawed, and bashing the general populus for keeping up the status quo?

      it’s not leftist, it’s very enlightened centrist and somewhat libertarian. i say somewhat because they don’t advocate for lowering the age of consent as far as i know. but they’re very comfortable with the status quo and the familiar, and rarely ever point to systemic issues or argue for systemic change. most of their critiques and solutions are based on individuals.
