I will watch Jon Stewart's Daily Show... IF.

The bare minimum paperwork, in 50 states, is filed for general election.

Jon Stewart (I as in I am definitely left leaning), write in candidate for President of the United States.

If he cant cash that check, I am not particularly interested in hearing his rhetoric. At this point.

What on earth are you talking about?

This is possibly the dumbest thing I have read today.

So the only way you're willing to listen to discourse is if the one speaking is a candidate for president? That's absurd yet it's kind of what you wrote.

To be honest, I was saying this largely because I was afraid that Jon was returning to shill for Biden and advance the "Union busting, rapidly expanding American poverty, global war, and genocide are okay as long as a Democrat is doing it" stance the Democrats have developed.

Well, I have seen a couple clips from his return, and that is not the case. I guess I got jaded in his absence. I should have known that Jon is better than that.

That said, I desperately want ANYONE other than Trump or Biden to take office next term.

Jon has the name recognition, he has the knowledge, and he has the passion.

My short list so far as been Bernie or Ro Khanna.

Since Jon wanted a voice in politics again, I wanted to add him to the short list of alternatives so he can put his money where his mouth is.

Back to the Future II already became reality when Trump got elected. Why cant Man of the Year become reality too?
