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?

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

  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.
  
  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

  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
