I fully agree in concept, but i fear our career politicians (even the best ones) are corrupted or at least working complicately in a fully corrupt system.
I don’t think that talk show hosts are the answer. Although, Stewart at least is 100% up to speed on political matters which is more than I can say about some presidents.
Doing things doesn’t necessarily mean politics. Could mean education, or administration, or front line work. Real life experience that qualifies someone to be in charge of things.
Colbert is the one well placed, to dust off his satire schtick after a maga conversion on his own channel.
He should quit the network early and start, the colbert reported.
Kimmel idk, but these networks will find conservatives have no sense of humor and cannot drive ratings. If they censor things the right cries about no one will subscribe to their dogshit streaming platforms.
The satire schtick won’t get Colbert elected. Kimmel is charismatic and likeable with his own personality. No point in chasing conservative votes; just get liberals excited and showing up.
I’m not saying for Colbert to run for office, I just want him to dust off his satire bit, I think he has way more effective at that than he has been as a establishment Democrat cheerleader.
But since we are on the subject, I do want to see Jon Stewart as the Presidential nominee in 2028, at the head of a host of Reform minded candidates be there Progressive or other flavor of candidate matching their constituencies, that do not think people should be as fucked by the super rich without their consent.
Because that is almost everybody electorally. Red State and blue. And the only way to win here now is with a massive electoral Landslide and even then it might be hard to overcome the Party Machine fixing the elections every way they can.
Jimmy should run for office now. I don’t think Jimmy Kimmel is some kind of saint but they put him in a place of power by pulling his show.
Jon, Jimmy, and Stephen would be wasted upon the presidency. They should join forces and start an independent media organization.
Could you imagine an entire administration run by talk show hosts.
Kimmel, Colbert, John Stewart.
I’m not sure they’d do a good job or that they’d even side with the public with issues or avoid bribes, but they’d be charistmatic AF.
Despite them being good people it would defacto be a step closer to Idiocracy.
We want leaders who’ve built a career doing things.
Speaking truth to power is an entirely different skillset.
