and got her real opinion, she'd probably tell you that if you feel comfortable demonstrating in the streets and expressing yourself publicly, go do it!

SNL Weekend Update is a COMEDY show. She can't simply appear on air and go on a political diatribe. She has to add a humorous twist. In this case, it was to lay low and over-indulge in cake. It was for comedic effect.

I certainly wouldn't expect the left to become hermits across the board because of a three-minute bit by Tina Fey.
