Bernie's In

It has found a political leader named Bernie Sanders and will occupy the Oval Office.

I don't see anything humorous about the Stalin/Jew thing

There seems to be a confusion among some users that satire (and we are a satire site) has to be funny. To evoke laughter. To pee your pants laughing (as I do). No, satire is thusly, according to Dictionary.com and other definition sites:
"sat·ire    [sat-ahyuhr] noun 1. the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc. 2. a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule. 3. a literary genre comprising such compositions. Origin: 1500–10; < Latin satira, variant of satura medley, perhaps feminine derivative of satur sated ( see saturate) Can be confused:  1. burlesque, caricature, cartoon, parody, satire (see synonym note at burlesque; see synonym note at the current entry ) "
I'm back now. Satire has a long backbone as a political and historical form of all the things mentioned above. Some satire is funny - but it doesn't have to be imnho and in the opinion of many definition makers. I've noticed over my many years here (well, not quite 3) that some users judge VFH entries on if it makes them laugh out loud. That's fine, yet I just wanted to point out that uncyclopedia is a satire site and not a lol (LOL) site. None of my dozen or so articles are funny, I've never written a funny article. Most of mine are actually used at bars to sober people up so they don't laugh. This is true. Thanks for not laughing. Discussion is welcome, but I won't be here myself for a week or so

No one knows the future with certainty Frank, not even you. Certainly the public reaction to Sen. Sander's campaign has exceeded most expectations, probably including his own. At the same time Hillary's has fallen well short of expectations. Indeed commentators are starting to recall the disapointments and lapses in her last campaign. All this is going on during a period of fairly widespread turbulence in public political reactions, all of which suggest we may be in a period of real change - one in which events are particularly hard to forecast reliably.

I don't share Lash's enthusiasm for Sanders and I don't expect hin to win. However I can understand his appeal to many folks, and I don't entirely discount its potential effects.

Do you still believe that Hillary Clinton will be our next President? Are you as certain of this now as you were three months ago?

The thing about me and Slappy is that I long berated him for un PC jokes, and his reply was that everything can be a source of humor/satire. I finally turned a corner and gradually saw his point. Though I don't make cartoons like that myself, I can see the free speech of a group like Hebdo. And no, Auschwitz (my favorite writer is Primo Levi) and Stalin and so on are not sources of humor to me, and I would never draw that stuff, but I can see the Hebdo group being at base an anti-all-hate group itself. I didn't read them for years, as many apparently did, so of course I'm not sure. It's that I have a little room to glimpse that might be true.

Frank, you really push the "definition of is" type sophistry to the limits. Everything you have said about the coming election has left the impression that you don't think any democrat has a snowballs chance but Hillary. I believe you've even used that particular idiomatic metaphor to describe
Bernie's chances. But, when pressed, you fall back on things like "I never said exactly that in exactly those words", to the point that it's really (forgive me but)juvenile. We all know what you have meant, and what you have clearly meant is that you think Hillary is going to be the nominee, and no one else so far running can beat her. Why do the stupid dance?
