What a well thought out response! I wonder if the same type of comment would be found under something mocking a political figure from the right. Somehow I doubt people would have a problem with a post poking fun at Anthony Weiner’s nude pics from a few years back or Ted Cruz going on vacation during a hurricane. On the flip side, I’m sure a meme about Khamala Harris keeping such a low profile would be downvoted to hell.
Look, I get your point about seeming conservative but we should be comfortable mocking both side of the political spectrum. You fucks clearly aren’t comfortable with that because it goes against the echo chamber in here. I try to spread the love evenly, but it’s clear that the culture on Lemmy won’t allow certain topics to be the subject of humor.
Those on what Americans consider the left are right wing. Warren herself, despite how left she’s portrayed, is a former republican even.
No one’s going to defend Anthony Weiner or Ted Cruz because what they did was obvious and craven. Pretty much describes everyone on the far right in the United States. Which is why you don’t see a lot of defense of them. And vice president’s generally always keep a low profile. It’s not just Harris and it’s not even noteworthy. Criticize her on her prosecutorial record. There’s something that you can actually critique.
I’m fine with mocking people who deserve mocking. You yourself have even mentioned how people are fine pointing out and mocking Anthony Weiner. Yet you claim that we somehow we as collective group which we aren’t can’t take being mocked. Which we can. Which you just pointed out.

Okay, whatever you think is “valid criticism” of left-wing politicians would still not be well received here. That’s my point.
