Is that because Conservatives are much better at political satire?? I guess. maybe the best way for Liberals to close the gap would be to shut them down.
If its all so meaningless, why is it you pay so much attention to the threads?

The Babylon Bee had to sue Newsom because he was trying to do the same damned thing.

Humor Wins: Babylon Bee Beats California Laws Censoring Political Satire

When the only form of laughter you experience is by the pain inflicted on others, well, it's pretty obvious you are a sadist.

Maybe it's because leftist satire isn't funny?
