Democrats alienate voters they can’t afford to lose

Much has been said and written by right-wingers about the precipitous decline of Saturday Night Live. There is a reason why SNL’s Donald Trump jokes are rarely funny while its rare Joe Biden jokes harken back to a bygone era when political comedy was appreciated by all: Hatred is off-putting.

Comics on SNL like Biden and hate Trump, which is a recipe for bad comedy. But openly spewing hatred toward everyday people is an even worse electoral strategy, a strategy that most pundits and politicians on the Left have employed for years and are ramping up now as the 2024 election approaches.
