I still remember Colbert shitting on Bernie and fawning over Hillary at absolutely every chance he got through 2016. He may have changed now, but when he had the opportunity to push for real positive change he backed the safe, corporate democrat hard.

I'll admit I wasn't aware of this. I don't really consider most of these people to be leftists but that's a good start.

Capitalists. Democrats in general are controlled opposition against the true left and he is their favourite mouthpiece.

Colbert is a wet blanket meant to stop any actual leftist progress by controlling the narrative around social/political issues. His politics are basically just Joe Biden shit but "funny".

Capitalism and Neo-liberalism has worked out quite well in his favour and he wants nothing but to protect the status quo.
