    Ok, so you be the change you want to see.

    You don’t want to? Well, that’s how Jon probably feels.

      What makes you think I don’t want to. Anyone who is sucking down air should be wanting to intervene. Not everyone has the capability and support to actually do it. I certainly don’t. Stewart does.

      If he knew two years ago what he knows today, I have no doubt that he would have stepped up.

        There are plenty of people who wouldn’t wish to run a campaign and risk their own lives or the lives of their families to MAGA nutcases.

        Not everyone has the capability and support to actually do it. I certainly don’t. Stewart does.

        And therein lies my issue with celebrities running for office - money and power.

        If he knew two years ago what he knows today, I have no doubt that he would have stepped up.

        If he is truly the talented political thinker that you think he is, he already saw this coming. There were multiple progressive YouTube shows/podcasts that made this exact warning in 2020 because trump was just the symptom and we never addressed the underlying problems. Jon knew this as well, but chose not to step up.

        Don’t encourage this Asshole anymore. He’s clearly a unhelpful walrus who can’t see past their own nose.
