They just found one of the many think pieces about how conservative comedy usually sucks and is trying to get their little jab in at the left. They probably don't even know what their talking about.
Based the wording of the post and this comment from OP’s profile which specifically mentions Gab, I feel pretty confident making an educated guess that OP may fall somewhere on the MAGA spectrum.

"I don't want to talk about politics, but hear me out: Politics."
I have no idea what movies you're talking about. Go watch Poor Things, great dialogue, strong feminist ideals and stronger laughs.
If would probably help if you listed some of these movies so we could know a bit more about this leftist comedy of which you speak.
Perhaps also give some examples of media you do find funny
It's Always Sunny is probably the closest thing to leftist comedy you'll find
Superstore is the most leftist comedy I've personally seen. And it fucking slaps.

Wait till the meth wears off before you get on Lemmy.
Not sure what you mean, OP. A whole bunch of the classic comedies are leftist. Dr. Strangelove, Blazing Saddles (really all Mel Brooks), Some Like It Hot, Caddyshack, The Great Dictator, etc. are all leftist humor.
Name the movies
What kind of movies are you watching, and through what glasses?
I’ve tried watching at least 30 movies
What kind of movies are you even talking about?
Try watching some proper comedy. A panel show or a standup special.
IMO the main difference between left leaning commedy and the right leaning commedy is that the left can make fun of itself.
Example: The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Biden catches Covid and his press secretary claims, that "despite his illness, the president is not slowing down". Colbert finds it believable "because he does not thing it is physically possible to move any slower than Biden already is". Whole theater is laughing.
Imagine a right leaning commedian said that about Trump. He would get shot!
I'm sure the movies your talking about are alright.
I hate to even contribute to this, but I suppose Star Trek: Lower Decks and The Orville would be about the leftiest comedies you could possibly find.
