        Luigi Mangione.
        (Even if he’s guilty then he’s still done less criminally evil shit when compared to the orange traitor)

        At least John has a history of fighting to make Congress do the right thing. He has far more relevant political experience than Trump.

        You need to understand politics better at a fundamental level. Lawyers do not make winning modern politicians. Theater majors do. Charismatic business majors do.

        Jon just happens to also know shit from decades of calling out corruption and pushing for change.

          It’s not sustainable to just run politicians because their entertainment background makes them electable. Sometimes they need to make difficult decisions. It’s gotta stop some time

          Maybe I would have supported Stewart running in 2024 against Trump, particularly with hindsight advantage. Fight fire with fire.

          Of course I would also vote Stewart over any modern Republican, because those guys can do some damage

          But with Trump not running in 2028, I don’t see a similar celebrity on the Republican ticket. I’m still dealing with a bad hangover from Kamala Harris 2024, but I would rather see her in office and making those tough decisions than Stewart, because she has the experience doing so.

        You guys need to stop electing celebrities ffs

        You’re not wrong, but I don’t see a lot of better options on the table and the guy at the very least understands politics and seems to be resistant to being owned.

      Why? You faux commies would be all Genocide Jon because he hasn’t slammed Israel enough.
