Comedians are supposed to say edgy stupid shit.

Aiming for the lowest common denominator every day of your life does not make you a comedian, even if it does make you very, very rich.

You’re certainly entitled to your own opinion on the artistic merit of that kind of comedy but I don’t think there’s any denying that’s what it is. Nevertheless, why would you look to any artist, especially comedians, for balanced political discussion? That’s not what they do. Even the ones that talk about politics are doing it more for the laughs than the nuanced discussion. If any comes from their jokes that is a side benefit, not the primary purpose.
