    I mean, I get your point, but… are you really going to pretend Stewart wouldn’t be better than every fucking Republican?

    no, of course not. But the piece of dog shit I just scraped off my shoe would be a million times better than all republicans blended together so that is not really a measure of goodness

      It is a valid point of reference when saying someone is better than what we have…

      Why are you hellbent on making perfect the enemy of better?

        who says I am?

        Why are you dealing in absolutes? if I am not with you, even partially, I seem to be interpreted as being against you

        All I am saying is that, if you take Jon Stewart celebrity status away, all you have is a man with no interesting education to speak of who does seem interested in the welfare of vets… that’s it. You can go to ANY VA facility and find people with more education and a life long career of helping Vets

        Yet you want me to think you wanting Jon Stewart for POTUS has nothing to do with celebrity worship

          Way to continually ignore his actual political accomplishments.

          Nobody is calling him the next Bernie Sanders. Nobody is saying he’d be the perfect pick. Though only you seem to be hellbent on ignoring any positive qualities.
