Oh is THAT the lines libs are going to use? That actually you aren’t voting for president, you’re voting for the president’s cabinet? That’s a ridiculous line to take but okay. I guess they haven’t tried that one yet so let’s see how it goes for them. Badly I would presume
Does blue Maga realize they’re literally indistinguishable from red Maga.
That was literally the Maga argument for Trump in 2016 “he’s not a politician but he knows how to hire the best people so he’ll just have a great set of advisors and cabinet members that will do everything”
Biden has been an incredibly competent president and there are hours upon hours and hours of him speaking cogently.
This is Jon jumping on a narrative that just is based on patent fabrication.
I have to ask you: if the clips of Biden gaffes were coming from Fox, would we all be taking them at face value? Is it possible to conceive that the same kind of thing is happening with other outlets? It’s wholesale fabrication of a narrative. It’s really harrowing to watch.
The man regularly gives the State of the Union for fuck’s sake! We watch him speak for literal hours!
And yes, Jon throws in a little disclaimer at the end to the effect of “I’m not saying that these candidates aren’t vibrant and capable.” The issue with there is that he JUST spent fifteen minutes doing just that.
I grew up watching Stewart and his work has helped shape my worldview and help me sniff out BS but this is really disappointing.
I get that anti-Trump comedy is super stale and he wants to come out of the gates fresh and with punchy material, but it’s just so… South Park circa 2002.
They do have a point though about the administration being a big part of an election. But sadly for this person (and the other folks that will use this line of thought), I think that a very large amount of people that are anti-Biden are not fans of his team either. So they are just furthering the arguments of even the anti-Biden Dems that are becoming more and more embarrassed of the party they have blindly supported for so long. Which does open some gaps for leftists to maybe at least flip to Green votes for President, or at least start following the lead of protest movements like the pro-Palestine/ceasefire ones.
But we have seen how much rot the “blue no matter who” crowd has just ignored for my entire life from late 80’s to now. The masses have been taught to be loud but not know how to do anything. Being fair Republicans aren’t much better but have learned how to scare their established leaders here and there.
