I was at their sxsw talk in 2016 and an audience member asked why they featured Hillary and didn't support Bernie. It was super awkward and they got fuckin booed.
What was their crappy answer?
Some bs about how it's not political, she's an inspirational "boss lady" or whatever
Do you think she effectively utilized girl power by funneling money to illegal paramilitary death squads in Libya?
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Damn, would be a shame to introduce politics into, um, politics
I mean that answer definitely fits their characters on the show. It really works if you imagine the premise is Girls but full-blast.
This was also the same year when Ken Burns and Henry Louis Gates sat around pretending Hillary was the best way to support minorities and the working class during Ken Burns's talk about his baseball doc.
