I know it's kind of the goal of the show, to unite people more, but my god does she give them a pass on some insanely idiotic bullshit that she's perfectly capable of (justifiably) annihilating them for.

Oliver has a way to use humor to outline some very real problems and gives excellent solutions. Satire and comedy has always been a catalyst for political change.
