The attempt to impose codes of conduct on comedy reflects the idea that you can somehow apply a political and moral judgement to humour. Well, you can, but it’ll often be more harmful than helpful.
Hillary, the Banksters Committed ‘Fraud,’ Not ‘Shenanigans.’ I wouldn’t vote for Bernie, but I sure as hell wouldn’t vote for Hillary either.
