    Have Katy Stoll’s politics improved at all? I used to love her comedy stuff on Cracked, but I couldn’t stomach listening her “toxic misogynist Bernie bros love Trump because they hate women!” shtick that she seemed to believe circa 2016. I remember Cody Johnston having better politics at the time, and I was glad to see her and Cody making it out of Cracked relatively ok. I haven’t had the heart to watch their recent stuff and potentially ruin fond memories of them from Cracked if they just ended up settling into the John Oliver style “America has problems, but it’s still better than every non-white country” niche. I’m still not over John Oliver settling into that niche; he was probably my favorite Daily Show correspondent in the mid 2000’s.

      Katy and Cody seem pretty anti capitalist at the moment. Also, I’ve always thought that Katy’s best jokes were far better than Cody’s, but he says 100 more than her.
