When Mehdi Hasan sat down with Jon Stewart last month, the roles were reversed. This time, the Emmy-winning host of The Daily Show was the one asking the questions — about corporate media, Gaza, Do…
And that’s a problem. He’s a really great guy and all, but his biases are obvious and he maintains the neoliberal status quo. He also acts as a pressure relief valve to air our frustrations and make us feel sane in a completely bonkers world, but that’s the opposite of fighting back.
We don’t need celebrity presidents, we need a fucking revolution.
It started with me not ever liking fucking Seth Meyers or Jimmy Fallon or the other Jimmy and I’ve extended this distaste to anybody talking and notdoing anything about Trump‘s abysmal fucking behavior. Jon Stewart can jump up his own ass, and so can the British guy
Trump has done exactly one thing right. He has united his entire party to accomplish their goals. They’re utter shit goals by utter shit people, but they’re accomplishing exactly what they set out to do.
Name one candidate who could do that better than Jon Stewart.
Bernie is too fucking old. He was too old for the presidency 12 years ago.
AOC is too fucking young, and the moderates hate her. She has less of a chance than Harris did. She also suffers the same issue Hillary did: the GOP has been running against her for a decade already. They’ve poisoned the well on her something fierce. She would make an excellent VP, but she doesn’t have the chops to win the presidency herself.
Mamdani is ineligible to run for president, and you must have seen how much opposition he faces even from his own party. Even if he could run, he doesn’t have a chance on the national stage.
Stewart comes prepackaged with 10,000 sound bites tearing apart the GOP on every issue they’ve ever raised.
Scott Kelly and Mark Kelly (twins, both were Navy Captains, both were Astronauts, one is now a Senator from Arizona) would be good, but they aren’t progressive enough.
Who else?
You put Jon Stewart in the White House, hire his writing staff into the west wing, and we’ll have Universal Healthcare in 6 months.
Scott Kelly and Mark Kelly (twins, both were Navy Captains, both were Astronauts, one is now a Senator from Arizona) would be good, but they aren’t progressive enough.
I like Jon but don’t believe celebrities should run for office. He’s also repeatedly said he has no interest in years past, so this is just a pipe dream for liberals.
Oh Jesus more celebrities in politics is the last thing you guys need
Zelensky was also a comedian. It’s woklrking out surprisingly okay for him given the situation.
Ukraine elects comedian as president Russia invades Ukraine
US elects comedian as president …
I mean he worked hard for veterans rights.
John Stewart is probably the only one I could actually get behind.

Didn’t he fight for the veterans?

Hey. Shut up.
Trump has done exactly one thing right. He has united his entire party to accomplish their goals. They’re utter shit goals by utter shit people, but they’re accomplishing exactly what they set out to do.

You Americans don’t see the insanity since you’re deep in it
Name one American politician you respect more than Jon Stewart.
not an american… but I feel you guys have 3: Bernie, AOC, Zohran Mamdani
AOC has a major problem she doesn’t have a penis.
Bernie is too fucking old. He was too old for the presidency 12 years ago.
AOC is too fucking young, and the moderates hate her. She has less of a chance than Harris did. She also suffers the same issue Hillary did: the GOP has been running against her for a decade already.

I’m waiting for the insane part.
The most generic democrats you could support
Turn your criticism-gun toward Stewart. What have you got on him? Why shouldn’t he be president?
I like Jon but don’t believe celebrities should run for office. He’s also repeatedly said he has no interest in years past, so this is just a pipe dream for liberals.
You guys implies you’re trying to other us, go fuck yourself. I’m intolerant of intolerance go jam this opinion up your own ass.
