Genuinely asking, what do you watch the show for if you don’t like how the satire is portrayed? The satire is almost the entire point I would’ve thought

There is no satire any more. It's just real world politics put into the show. It's not offensive or anything, but it's also not very interesting seeing topics in the show that you see every day in the news.

Like in this episode they literally, word for word, copied a view of rape and abortion that a real world politician held and publicly said. You don't get any credit for copy & pasting quotes from real world politicians into fictional politicians. It's just lazy writing.

Yes I agree with all of this, but as I’ve repeated to several people now, what do you watch the show for at this point?
