    I love John Stewart… but this is a terrible idea.

    edit: Based on the responses to this I’m just gonna be thankful I’m not American. You guys apparently have so little clue what is actually involved in civics that you’re unironically doubling down on reducing the entire system to a reality tv debacle.

    His 911 advocacy is common knowledge. Bringing it up like that automatically makes him the ideal candidate to run the worlds largest economy and military is ludicrous.

    Similarly people comparing Zelensky in Ukraine to a potential Jon presidency are comparing apples to coconuts.

    Honestly I don’t even know why I said anything. Americans slept while their democracy devolved into the world shittiest reality show. Expecting them to see the folly in tripling down on populism was clearly my mistake.

      No matter who the Democratic nominee is the right will attack him or her in the exact same way, calling them radical communists that want all of our boys turned into girls and all of our murderers to have taxpayer funded penthouses. I just want a candidate who understands the severity of the situation and isn’t going to fuck around. Jon Stewart definitely fits the bill.
