Inspired by a post about The Venture Bros

When a genre develops a tradition of ignoring uncomfortable questions, parodies come along that mock the genre’s lack of morals, e.g. superhero parodies where the “heroes” are awful people. I consider this an insult to the genre. I’d rather have something that fixes the problem instead of pointing and laughing at the problem.

People arguing over whether they can drag the Democratic Party to the left. Some arguing that previous attempts haven’t dragged the party to the left. I’m disappointed that no one seems to be replying to this. “Here’s why our current attempt to drag the party to the left is different from previous attempts.” Or even “here’s why you’re underestimating how much of an impact our previous attempts had.” Don’t just restate the initial point!
