But lets just focus on the long held American obsession of giving comedians such a big place in politics.

To be fair, Bill Maher is not a comedian with a big place in politics. He's a comedian who makes politics a big part of his comedy, and this isn't an American thing, it's a Western culture thing that dates all the way back to ancient Greece.

But even if he were a politician, why not? The US has done much worse considering their current President is literally a reality TV/Pro wrestling personality.

Good, but current date i would tell you that it seems like  American comedians put much more focus on politicians compared to other countries.

I do not know if Bil Maher does not have a big place in politics because he talks about it so often.

Second bolded: Because it is not constructive in my opinion and in first place it is mostly low tier comedy,like Trevor noahs atempts it is almost lazy.
