If Jon Stewart would’ve run this wouldn’t even be a fucking question right now. He’d be up in the polls 80%.
I love the guy, but let’s keep our celebrities and politicians separate please.
No. This is ignorant thinking. Do you think politicians are a special class of people? Like they have special training to do what they do? They don’t. They are just people. Zelenskyy made a fine president.
He’s got good politics and he’s a better communicator than any current American politician. Also, we know way the fuck more about him than we do any politician, because he’s communicated so much more about himself than any politician ever has. Also, he’s gotten more work done in congress than half the congress critters in office right now with his effectively forcing Republicans to support 9-11 emergency personal.
So no. I reject the idea that politicians are a special class of people. Its perfectly reasonable for someone whose job it is to communicate, analyze, understand, and make light of news and politics to run for office. The idea that “politicians” are in any way a separate, or special, or privileged class is the cosmopolitan view, and a deeply toxic one.
I did not say politicians are a special class of people, those are your words. I said I don’t want celebrities running for office. To counter your Zelenskyy example, I present to you Donald Trump. How about Herschel Walker? Let’s also throw in Ronald Reagan, the actor.
I would rather not have celebrities run for office at all and leave that up to regular working class people. However, it does tend to be business owners and celebrity types who run because they have the resources.
You want “celebrities” to be kept separate from “politicians”. That’s the introduction of a special class.
Yes that’s exactly what I want. Your reading comprehension is truly above world class, a special class if you will.
Yes that’s exactly what I want.
I reject the idea that politicians are a special class of people. The idea that “politicians” are in any way a separate, or special, or privileged class is the cosmopolitan view, and a deeply toxic one. Your thinking is harmful to society.
You’re still confused and refusing to read what I actually wrote. That’s not what I think.
why would Stewart ruin their life like that?
For the sake of all of us. His anti-genocide stance while being Jewish could literally stop Israel in its tracks if he was on course to become the next president.
i was making a joke.
