I had actually never watched Stewart Daily show when he was there. I started watching when Trevor Noah came on. I was expecting someone more liberal & more funny.
Not only bad timing. But he used Republican Tur investigation references, assuming they were facts. Using rightwing talking points to make Biden look worse. I expected better
1. Have we determined that no other viable candidate could step up and get on primary ballots in time to challenge Biden? It would seem so but write-in votes are still possible.
2. If Biden is declining, his handlers have a moral imperative to expose him.
The cosmically perfect, divinely funny end here would be that Trump dies after ensuring no other Republican can run, Biden wins, then he dies just before taking office.
Jon Stewart told the truth. It's too late to save Biden tho, as it is his party and not just him that is corrupt to the core and therefore a large part of the problem. 👎
I mean, I'm not going to deny that there are really dumb, asinine, possibly evil, probably just deluded or lazy people in the Democratic party. Also, he's right: the "bell curve" applies to a lot of things, including political ideology: most people are not Leftists or Right Wingers.
I remember a montage of protest signs that were 99% right-wing. The right-wing signs were warning about FEMA camps, Muslim brotherhood, and shit like that. The only "left-wing" sign I remember was warning about women being forced to carry a rapist's baby to term. We know which sign came true.
Counterpoint: It's still a satire show on Comedy-fucking-Central.
And yeah, I would vote for a damp cigarette butt before Trump, but that doesn't mean I think it should get the nomination automatically. We deserved better.
This is missing the other half of that same monologue— he’s not saying Trump is good, he’s saying that we need to keep an eye on govt every single day, not just think about elections.
Jon Stewart only ever cared about he is perceived in public. Smug, detached, above-it-all. He's got no stake in the game other than his image and his bank account.
you aren’t asking for us to accept eating rat shit, we already have, you are asking us to pretend the rat shit is actually chocolate cake. Jon Stewart is 100% voting for Biden, and will advocate for others to do the same, just admit slight criticism made you uncomfortable.
“Joe Biden’s most inexcusable presidential achievement is helping Israel murder tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians, and even there Donald Trump would be worse. I have no idea how, but Trump would find a more corrupt and loathsome way to kill even more Palestinians.” Fucking Brutal
That’s pretty much what’s already happening isn’t it? Down to Rafah and so begin the airstrikes and the US appears unwilling to stop selling Israel weapons
The West Bank is already under compete military occupation. There’s nothing left there to invade. But Israel has encouraged settler violence and taken thousands of new hostages.
Then they’re not invading the West Bank or not about to. By your definition they’ve invaded the West Bank already. Yes, I totally agree they encourage settler violence. But that’s not what the person was talking about
I think his point isn't about what you personally are willing to eat. The concern is that others will decide they're not going to eat either cyanide or rat shit, and to avoid ending up with cyanide they could have easily offered them something more palatable than rat shit.
Why the heck would I trust the party that forced a rat shit hot dog vs cyanide trolley problem in front of me that both end in dead Palestinians too instead of allowing me other choices that could have a better chance at not death for me AND Palestinians
Unfortunately. And I would be inclined to think other candidates might be more responsive and less set in their 50 years of experience ways or at least less destructive.
But like, I know so many folks whose lives are very directly impacted by a potential Trump presidency. I’m willing to change my mind if Joe works on his/does something meaningful. But fuck the Dems forever for forcing this pudding-eating genocide accomplice and walking stroke alert as the choice.
If one of your options is death, wouldn't you want to scrutinize your alternatives to make sure they're not also death? You're not looking for rat shit, you're looking for more cyanide.
Nothing like Shitlibs showcasing they’re just as much of a brainless cult that cannot handle any criticism of their Infallible Figurehead as the Trump Humpers are
What you should be scrutinising is why the fuck democracy is forcing you to choose between cyanide and a rat-shit kielbasa. There are 334m people in the US, there’s got to be something better on the menu.
100 million sat out 2012,2016,2020 and 2022. 300 ppl wrote marriage proposals to serial killers. Somehow between these numbers we have to get ppl to care about the direction of their lives.
Jon Stewart spoke up about Israel & Palestine when neither political party had the guts to. He was too radical & outspoken for Apple+. He stood up for the rights of veterans and 9/11 first responders.
& my counterpoint is Jon warned about barbarians at the gates. I don't think Biden can win.🤷♂️
I certainly pray Biden can win, but looking at polls, I'm really starting to doubt it, too. We are losing a lot of the young & minority voters. I've never been so worried about an election in my life.
In 2020 I was pretty confident. Now I'm just depressed.
The polls are v v skewed toward Rs - certainly now. Ds are winning elections (we just won a couple big ones yesterday, by a lot!). Yes there’s work to do but now is the time to do that work. Reach out to https://indivisible.org & join us! We can win!
A Democrat just won a Republican seat in a race whose #1 issue was immigration. You can always find bad news to dwell on, but meanwhile Ds have been winning a lot. The D won by 8 points.
Rat shit is actually not human consumable and will cause diseases. It's not a choice between rat shit and death, it's a choice between death and a different death.
The democratically-controlled congress at the time was so fully duped and compliant with an obvious fraud they supported and passed the defund acorn act
Comments
If Biden/his ego would step aside, Dems could run someone who would win by 25 points, hold the Senate, and take the House.
1. Have we determined that no other viable candidate could step up and get on primary ballots in time to challenge Biden? It would seem so but write-in votes are still possible.
2. If Biden is declining, his handlers have a moral imperative to expose him.
I think time has made him SEEM less liberal because of the Overton Window shift, or what have you.
I'd call him left of center, certainly.

We got to see Ozzy Osborne & Cat Stevens.
And?
Jon Stewart is further to the Left than 95% of the Democratic Party.
And yeah, I would vote for a damp cigarette butt before Trump, but that doesn't mean I think it should get the nomination automatically. We deserved better.
then lots of people would be more than happy to vote for them

Mayorkas was just impeached by the House.
The world has gone crazy.
It's not congressional races that worry me. It's the presidential race.
Americans are weird.
