SATIRE Reminder: You No Longer Need A Color TV To Watch The Democratic Debates

DES MOINES, IA—The FCC announced today that the next Democratic debate will not require viewers to use a color television. The decision was made in part due to the fact that all the remaining candidates are white. The FCC cites several other reasons for the change, however.

The FCC reminded everyone in a statement that the only color you'll need to make out the candidates' skin color is white.

“Listen, we didn’t want to leave anybody out,” said FCC employee Steven Penta. “Over one percent of American’s live without color TV, and that makes those folks a minority. We didn’t want to leave them out because, well, because this is America!”

Democrats, however, were unhappy with the news, insisting their party deserved better, more diverse candidates. “These people are all rich, white, privileged scum,” said Bernie Sanders as he rubbed a balloon on his head to prep for the debate. "If my opponents cared at all about diversity, they would drop out and let me win."

The FCC will soon ask viewers to upgrade to color television in advance of the presidential debates this fall, as the incumbent will require televisions that display a brilliant orange hue.

That’s because those Demiranians don’t have color so it’d be useless to have a color TV.

The Dem candidates could all appear in blackface for the debates. That would work.

the next Democratic debate will not require viewers to use a color television

The article goes on to say that the B&W TV also won't require sound as the only thing the candidates will say will also be want they all agree on 1) We need to raise taxes 2) We need bigger government 3) We need to punish the rich 4) We need to confiscate guns 5) We need to save the planet from climate change 6) We need open borders 7) We need universal healthcare 8) Trump is evil 9) Trump supporters are evil 10) America sucks

Is “Colored TV” racist? Should we say “TV of color?”

Or, just go back to Black & White?

Shameful, how they just ignore her diverse DNA like that.

Someone keyworded this with “ stoppostingsatire”.

Whoever you are, you must be real fun at parties.

Are you sure you are not a closet dem? The left are the only ones I know who are so humor challenged.

In this insane world, humor/satire is better than prescription medicine.

I like the side effects better.

I at least get a laugh out of satire.
