Stewart also weighed in on the changing media landscape and his Apple TV exit before returning to host, on Monday nights, the Comedy Central late night show.
He’s a great commentator and humorist… but he’d make a fucking awful president.
He holds a lot of opinions I agree with (and some I don’t), but that doesn’t mean he’d somehow be able to steer the American political system in a way that would benefit most Americans. He’d mostly be yet another demagogue, just for the left instead of the right.
“[Taxpayers] pay for that!” is a very misleading way to phrase it. State, Federal, sales, etc… You do realize they’re going to collect taxes no matter what, yes? I’m not getting them back! And if money already on-hand isn’t used to help literal hero firefighters in the form of the benefits they were promised for saving lives in the wake of the biggest terrorist attack against the country, then what the fuck should we spend it on!? Nothing?? It’s fine if you believe that, but it’s a totally different discussion…

Oops, edited wrong comment.
honestly the worst form of the “both sides” argument I have ever heard lol
Man, people just love dismissing any argument against something with the most inane bullshit…
Because they didn’t once explain why…?
He helped the New York City first responders get benefits for 9/11 related diseases and injuries and how do you think pays for that?
Taxpayer, that’s who.

Isn’t that what taxes should be used for?
Why he would make a good president? I mean aside from “I like and agree with him”.
I’m sorry, that’s not how this works. I never advocated for him once. You are the one who said he:
“[would] make a fucking awful president.”
“[Wouldn’t be] be able to steer the American political system in a way that would benefit most Americans.” As opposed to Trump, his likely opponent…??
“He’d mostly be yet another demagogue, just for the left instead of the right.”
Do you have any sources for those, or are they just baseless opinions, like mine and everyone else’s…?
