Convince Keanu Reeves to run for the next election. Seriously, he is the one.
I think Jon Stewart would make a great president. I also think he would probably be miserable and I would hate to do that to him.
It’s probably a very unpopular opinion, but I feel like Jon Stewart is overrated. He was at the height of his powers in the GWB era and he helped Kerry to a hefty loss, and then followed that up by running pointless and distracting political rallies that did nothing at all to prevent the 2010 shellacking by the tea party.
He helped provide cover for Trump this election cycle by laughing at him and at times even joking that he was gonna vote for Trump. I guarantee the daily show episodes that couch potato democrats like myself used to soothe themselves during this sleep walk into fascism will age like milk.
I couldn’t even bare to watch the election night coverage him and Colbert were doing and I’m sure that it got grim as hell (similar to coverage of 2016) as the jokes started to not match the bleak reality of an upcoming second Trump term.
He seems like a person that would go to great lengths to avoid politics, but he can’t be any worse than any of the existing options.
