    You guys are not voting only for the president. It’s everything that comes with that. Like the supreme Court and all other justices.

        I’m voting for Biden if he’s the one in the general, but I fear you may be right. Far too many normies have no idea what is at stake.

          Yeah but even then it that is your only option & he still loses, then what happens when Democrats try the same thing again in 4 years. There can always be something worse than Trump and a party that capitalizes on that fear.

    He also played a clip from Biden’s interview with ABC News, when the president was asked how he would feel if Trump won the election.

    "I’ll feel, as long as I gave it my all and I did the good as job as I know I can do, that’s what this is about,” Biden said in the interview last week.

    Stewart raised his voice and pushed back on that comment.

    "That’s not what this is about! There are no participation trophies in endgame democracy. Oh yeah, I remember FDR saying, ‘Well, if the Nazis take over Europe, at least both teams had fun,’” he added.

    Full clip:

      Correction, Biden legit said “goodest job”, and if my soul was still functional I would have fell out of my chair when I heard it.

        I definitely hear “goodest” and had no idea what “godd as” was, but was just leaving quotes as is.

        On Colbert’s monologue he said that Biden’s campaign insisted on the Times changing it to “good as” for some reason

    Hmm, Jon Stewart has a lot of influence, like it or not. If he can get behind a movement to get Joe Biden to…

    Stewart also noted he was not calling on Biden to step out of the race, but asked if Democrats could “open up” a larger conversation about their candidate.

    Well, shit. We’re stuck with Joe, aren’t we?

      He’s saying the bare minimum is an honest discussion and evaluation of Biden.

      We’re not even getting that, were getting “buckle up buckaroos”

      And being gaslight about valid doubts about an 81 year who just set the record for oldest US president ever is fit to go back to back…

    Jon Stewart would be a pretty good candidate. I mean, totally horrible as a president in objective terms, but would work as a pretty great counterpoint to Trump.

      I don’t know why you think he wouldn’t be a good President. A presidents job is largely rhetorical and Stewart is good at that. He also showed his mettle in his support and advocacy for 9/11 first responders.

          This is one of my favorite pic’s of all time and it also shows precisely how to navigate things like the house and senate from the outside.

        I mean I don’t disagree with you completely, but Stewart being the president would be like Trump (or, say, Reagan) in the way that none of them are politicians or have seriously studied the subject. Those people are some kind of entertainers.
