While other fake news organizations like the Washington Post and L.A. Times refuse to save democracy, we at the Babylon Bee are proud to do our part. Today, the esteemed Editorial Board of the Babylon Bee has officially voted to endorse Kamala Harris for President.
In 2020, the Babylon Bee famously endorsed "Dave" for President, discovering only later that Dave was a role played by actor Kevin Kline in a movie that hit the box office in 1993. This year, we resolved to endorse an actual person, and that person is Kamala Harris.
Why Kamala? Take a look at this incredible list of just a few of her achievements:
- As a young San Francisco lawyer, broke into politics by using her stunning intellect to win the favor of 60-year-old Mayor Willie Brown
- Ran for President in 2020 and earned zero votes, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was in it purely for the love of the game
- After Joe Biden announced he would select a woman of color as VP, she was a woman of color
- When Mike Pence was trying to turn America to fascism, bravely intervened by saying, "I'm speaking."
- Was such a popular Vice President that over 12 million people hiked thousands of miles from South America to come meet her
- She is brat, which we believe means that she is as cool as a bratwurst
- So beloved that she became the first person in history to win a primary without receiving a single vote
Wow. How can you put into words the greatness that is Kamala Harris, other than to say that you have to witness its significance over the passage of time? We are just simple folks here at the Bee — but we know there is great significance to the passage of time.
We are grateful that when America is on the brink of losing its democracy and probably everyone becoming Nazis, the person standing strong against the forces of darkness is Kamala Harris. We at the Bee are proud to stand behind her. We will not be like the Washington Post, destined to be a byline in democracy's requiem, should the nation fall.
@Mummyvann still feel good about banning links to the Babylon Bee?
I can't even CSS embed the link.

I'm going to offer rare chud praise: the bee is funny. The onion can no longer make jokes because of where the left is at, and the bee is a satisfactory replacement
I do wish they would maintain the professional tone. Satire is best when some people don't get it

I'm not sure what you're talking about, the Babylon Bee have been supporters of Kamala for a long time. Doesn't sound like a chud website to me.

They'll never truly reach their funny potential because their subject matter is politics. Politics sucks. It's of some interest this week, naturally, but give it about a month and you won't give a shit about it anymore. The Hard Times / Hard Drive were closer to what the Onion originally was, although I have no idea if they've written anything funny lately.

Meanwhile, the Onion will never hit highlights like anything from the ONN circa 2008-2010 (still on Youtube) or headlines like "Sudanese 14 year old suffers mid life crisis". Something died in mainstream humor even before Trump 2016/SJW nonsense/woke everything happened. Cracked went off a cliff in 2011. 2007-2009 produced a massive slate of mainstream comedy film, but since then it's been barren. I seriously think the last comedy movie I laughedt at was 22 Jump Street a decade ago.

If the Bee was 5% less boomer (dae attack helicopter) while still pretty boomer, it would hit the spot. I agree with the above that it's way better than the Onion nowadays.

The Bee tends to have a funny headline and then it just keeps going until any fun has been mangled out of it.

It was rare for the Onion or Hard Times to stretch the joke past the headline, too. Brevity is the soul of wit I guess?
