I don’t know why you think he wouldn’t be a good President. A presidents job is largely rhetorical and Stewart is good at that. He also showed his mettle in his support and advocacy for 9/11 first responders.
I mean I don’t disagree with you completely, but Stewart being the president would be like Trump (or, say, Reagan) in the way that none of them are politicians or have seriously studied the subject. Those people are some kind of entertainers.
I’m not sure that’s a fair comparison. Stewart has never served as an elected official, but he has ‘seriously studied’ politics his whole life. That’s more relevant than Trump or Reagan.
He asked hard questions that embarrassed the interviewees, surfaced their hypocrisy/cravenness, etc. and the purpose served was to… support and defend them like a sock puppet? What?
Do you really think all those people go on thinking he’s gonna softball? No.
Ask Tucker Carlson and Bill O’Reilly how they feel about that. Barrack Obama and John Kerry both had their own “give me a break here” moments with Stewart during their respective campaigns.

That berating he gave them was amazing. Also gave me my favorite pic of McConnell
This is one of my favorite pic’s of all time and it also shows precisely how to navigate things like the house and senate from the outside.

I mean, Zelenskyy?
Guy was basically an entertainer, not too dissimilar from Stewart even in style and content.
And when the shit hit the fan, this is who he proved to be:

Also he strikes me as the person to listen to experts. Not experts (1)
(1) paid for by corporate interests

I mean did you see when he went on Tucker Carlson’s show and he eviscerated Tucker so badly that fox fired him? That isnt how a sock puppet operates.
Way to miss the fucking point.
