    I don’t understand how you fail to realize that if Trump can do it, a fucking potato could do it…

    and manage to be better for the working class at the same time.

      Exactly. The role of the president is defined by the president. They have a cabinet for a reason; they don’t need to be experts in everything.

      Presidents entering office with celebrity status have proven extraordinarily capable of pushing their agendas. The problem isn’t “celebrity”. The problem is that their agendas have sucked. Stewart’s agenda doesn’t suck.

      but if a fucking potato can do it… imagine what an educated person with a good track record and a career of helping could do… why do you still want a potato?

        All I said was a potato would be better than Trump, not an ideal choice. Stewart is far from a potato, too, so I don’t know what kind of weird point you’re trying to make.

        Sure, I’d much rather have a seasoned politician like Bernie or someone even further left, but I wouldn’t scoff at John Stewart.

          As clear as possible: the USA could have a MUCH better POTUS than Stewart (actually he said so himself in this very vid)… perhaps, step 1 is to stop looking at celebrities

          Sure, I’d much rather have a seasoned politician like Bernie or someone even further left, but I wouldn’t scoff at John Stewart.

          Then go a support Bernie and stop wasting time with Stewart who is not running

            Neither is Bernie, you absolute numpty.

            Again for the fifth time, I’m NOT supporting him as a perfect candidate. At all. Why are you stuck on such a fucking BASIC point?? You are such a clapping seal it’s just pathetic.

              because that not my point, that’s your strawman

              I’m not arguing Stewart is not perfect, I’m not arguing he is worse than the pedo… I’m arguing the reason you are fantasizing about him as potus is because of the mad celebrity worship Americans love to engage in… exactly the same reason the maga idiots won’t listen to reason
