It's not her job to win everybody over. But if she wants to contribute to what she'd consider progress, she can stop injecting so much noise into the signal. People only have so much exposure to "the message", and are likely to dismiss it quickly given too many scatalogical & other insults.

There's a difference between "winning everybody over" vs "do your part to contribute to polite discourse" vs "make your side sound dominated by insult-spewing jerks". Parent wasn't asking for total perfect solution, only to stop contributing to needless antagonism.

Of course. It's her job to entertain her audience.

But that audience is free to ask for less focus on the insubstantial.

Exactly. It's Samantha Bee's job to feed the polarization cycle. If she doesn't, who will?
