I don’t understand your replies. In the video Jon addresses the impulse people have to want folk like him, Colbert, and Kimmel to run for office. He insinuates his disagreement but understands the sentiment. In other words, exactly your point.
jet ITT everybody is already voting for this imaginary ticket
On the other hand, you keep arguing the point of Jon as POTUS in this comment thread when the only point being made was that, unlike most celebrities, Jon has knowledge and experience in the legislative process. You stated that he had no other qualification other than fame. I corrected that misconception. Nothing more.
read the comments… the celebrity worship is out of control here
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
and with his track record, he could have peen an awesome potus
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
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
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
lol, tell me it’s not celebrity worship while performing celebrity worship
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
not JUST popularity contests, that is just America bud
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
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
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
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
Sure a millionaire who could retire tomorrow and live in luxury for 3 lifetimes is not afraid of stop working… wow, what courage
Sadly, you seem to be too deep in the problem to understand you are just adding fuel to the dumpster fire
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
My original point is that the very American celebrity worship phenomenon, which has turned your entire government in a popularity contest, is BAD for you… so maybe don’t keep going down this route?
I swear some people find themselves in a hole and they just want to keep digging
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
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
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
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
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
yes but why choose a celebrity that knows politics when you could have someone with a full education and career (or at least you could wish for one)
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
and he is getting handsomely paid to continue his show… if you’d tell me he retired from TV to just become and activist you’d have a solid point
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
what am I accusing anyone of doing?
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
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?
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
Reagan and Trump have proven that actors and media personalities are extraordinarily good at pushing their agendas. The problem isn’t that they were/are celebrities. The problem is that their agendas suck.
so maybe, just maybe, go with someone that has an actual education and career to show they have a good agenda? not just someone that seems nice… I do not think he has done bad things but he has barely been successful at ONE thing he has pushed the gov for (and not that successful because Vets keep getting defunded)
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
those abilities represent an incredibly low bar to clear man… it shows you have had shit leadership for such a long time
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
so that makes him a good activist… the leap from there to POTUS is like you seeing me volunteering at a soup kitchen and wanting to give me a Micheline star restaurant to run
- Comment on Jon Stewart on presidential runs and why there's hope for America 1 week ago:
Again, not to take away from that… but it’s easy to “speak truth to power” when you are not in power

Actually… celebrity worship of this type is why America is in the hole it is in.
I have no doubt Jon Stewart is a thousand times better than the Orange Pedo but that is true for 98% of the population.
What kind of preparation would Jon Stewart have to be a good President of the USA? other than being famous?
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 2 weeks ago:
Dude, your reading comprehension is very lacking… I have nothing but vitriol for the Orange Pedophile
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 4 weeks ago:
Trump is already attacking US cities
My sweet summer child… go check some pictures of French cities devastated in WW2 and tell me you are already under attack
- Comment on How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? 4 weeks ago:
politicians are the least accountable poeple in Murica (probably in the continent)
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t say this should happen… I said I thought it’s what would be needed for the usa to change
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 4 weeks ago:
WW3 fought in mainland USA…
The usa has only ever benefitted from war… once they taste it at home and have cities to rebuild, they may drop the deadly combination of chicken hawk and apathy that seems to be their take on war
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
the fact Farage is still around after Brexit is proof the voters of the UK are just a dumb as Muricans… we are all doomed

Not disagreeing it could be easier but people seriously underestimate the dangers of OTC meds… you can easily fry your liver

sounds like you are saying the same thing but with more words…

RIP to anyone with dyslexia, poor eyesight, hangover/drunk, etc. trying to read these labels quickly or in pain.
I do get this point; however, if you have trouble finding or reading this info, it is probably unsafe for you to take any medicine without assistance
