O.K., no flames/trolling, nice discussion, another of my beloved comedians being politically what? Bowen YANG

So, have been burned recently about how I accurately took my admired Conan's blip critical comments at the comedians who target KRASNOV as a main focus - here, not going on that merry-go-around, no rehashing please/thanks: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220916015

So now, am again putting myself in the spot of being irked with another comedian I dearly like, one Bowen YANG whose "Iceberg blamed for sinking the Titanic" bit is all time belly laughing. My irk is about, somehow - TO ME - someone in our corner of free thought, creative freedom, therefore our Liberal possession, yet here sounding yukky-collaborative-with-the-enemy.

Fine, so open the gates: How I don't understand, how comedians aren't owned by anybody, how blah blah...

Fine, so just explain. (Start for me with what a Hillary "stan" means, ty.) And YANG/ROGERS' tentative choosing of TELERICO over CROCKETT just because he is not "defined". (Meta note: And it was extremely difficult to pick excerpts from a convoluted presentation.)

Bowen Yang, Matt Rogers urge voters not to 'waste your money' donating to Jasmine Crockett: 'Don't do it'
The "SNL" alum also explained why he regrets "being a Hillary stan" during the 2016 election cycle.

.... The longtime friends and colleagues ended the latest episode of their joint podcast with an impassioned assessment of the liberal sphere, with Rogers stating that Bernie Sanders "is the only politician who says exactly what he feels," and called him "the only person who is actually no-bulls---" when it comes to voicing policy plans. ....

"I feel so silly," Bowen maintained, while Rogers later said he felt that support for Clinton was bolstered by a reaction to "misogynistic" political rhetoric as well as, "at the time, there was a very girlbossy, Obamacore-ish [sentiment] like, 'Hey! Don't talk like that! We're gonna crash the glass ceiling, girl!" ....

Rogers said he didn't want the party to "flop by putting up whatever everyone said they hated in the beginning, which is an establishment California Democrat (NEWSOM). It doesn't work," he estimated.

He again attempted to explain his stance on Rep. Crockett, telling listeners why he didn't think it was worth their time — or money — to throw support behind her bid to join the Senate on behalf of Texas. ....

He says Sanders is the only one who is no bullshit? Has he ever heard Crockett kick ass?

He's always bugged me anyway, so writing him off is no biggie to me.
