wait until trump croaks and nothing “returns to normal” (ie. unsustainable ratfucking), that’s when shit gets real for a lot of people
oh, i figured that was a typo.
they would obviously be on the same ticket, elmo president barnie vp
zelensky seems to be doing a fine job considering the circumstances. brains are not required to be a politician (probably a hindrance to most of em). they’re just nepo babies who would have amounted to nothing without their family name/connections
but you do actually kind of need brains to break into/stay successful in show business
the presidency is a popularity contest, comedians are a much more realistic choice in a center-collapse scenario like the US is having.
US labor is disorganized as fuck, it’s honestly kind of pathetic.
bernie is too old to grab attention on his own, outside of vermont. good as an fountain of experience/knowledge to pull from but as long as the DNC are controllsd opposition any progressive going through official channels will be neutered or sabotaged
which is why (good) comedians are serious candidates, they cross the party divide easily. harder for the propagandized mainstream outlets to turn the crowd against em
most have seen more of the country/world than pretty much anyone else. got to have empathy, general attachment to humanity, and class class consciousness to punch up consistently. also experience dealing with the whole media landscape, playing a crowd, getting attention/word out there without needing to pay for it etc. most also tend to start from working/bottom class families
all most other politicians in the US have going for them is olde money connections and crony capitalism backing them
both would work, nobody sane wants the position
Burr has that working-class esthetic popular with rural america, Stewart would probably come off as more “just another jewish liberal media personality” to the maga/racist/rural america crowd
Bill Burr would be harder/impossible for the conservative propaganda machine to spin against
random aside, i think Bill Burr would have serious chance at US presidency
don’t want that, don’t buy into anything coming out of silicon valley ever. that is their entire culture
