        You need to understand politics better at a fundamental level. Lawyers do not make winning modern politicians. Theater majors do. Charismatic business majors do.

        Jon just happens to also know shit from decades of calling out corruption and pushing for change.

          It’s not sustainable to just run politicians because their entertainment background makes them electable. Sometimes they need to make difficult decisions. It’s gotta stop some time

          Maybe I would have supported Stewart running in 2024 against Trump, particularly with hindsight advantage. Fight fire with fire.

          Of course I would also vote Stewart over any modern Republican, because those guys can do some damage

          But with Trump not running in 2028, I don’t see a similar celebrity on the Republican ticket. I’m still dealing with a bad hangover from Kamala Harris 2024, but I would rather see her in office and making those tough decisions than Stewart, because she has the experience doing so.

              Trying to keep some semblance of normalcy in the assumptions I make. Some people would find it laughable that an honest election would happen.

            Really it doesn’t matter who is president they well not know everything. A good leader would surround themselves with knowledgable people and take their advice.

        At least John has a history of fighting to make Congress do the right thing. He has far more relevant political experience than Trump.

        Jon has experience getting legislation passed. Colbert as well to a lesser extent. Jon has been asked before and mentioned this recently as well.
