Run Jon Steward next time if the world doesn't end, I am convinced there is no better option. Not Pete, not Gavin, not the Clintons, not the Obamas, not another dem politician.

Kamala's proposed policies made me want to move the US, yet she got 10 million less votes than Biden. Jon would appear on podcasts, argue cleverly and embarrass those hosts, would be popular on TikTok, and he doesn't sound like a politician if that's what the lazy people are looking for.

Yes, yes, I am still coping... I don't even know what the world will be like in 4 years.

Meh...You may have a point, it seems Americans prefer celebrities more than actual politicians now. Celebrities and billionaires outside of the "establishment" seem to be the way things are going. What a future where politics becomes more about personality than actual policies, Lol. (Not saying Jon Stewart would be bad though).

Future? Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger ring a bell? :)

Politics has always been about personality. Face of the party.

It would be a welcome experiment to hold elections based on platform, no faces. (Ehh Stephan Fry for UKs next PM ;)
