I mean, I’m voting for Biden but clown on him all the time for being old. He even has that classic old dude tuft of hair sticking out at the base of his skull. Dracula lookin’ ass.
Unsure where in that broadcast he said something untrue.
I have to be honest, the quick turnaround from “Stewart is a god, we need him back, I would vote for him for president in a heartbeat” to “This show should be cancelled, he should retire, fuck Stewart” from some people because he said what a lot of people are saying (our two choices are really fucking old and most people want better options) is hilarious to me.
Bonus points for the new hot take that he caused Clinton to lose in 2016.
I find him hilarious. Some people are way too tight ass.
Worshiping the president and turning a blind eye to their faults is for Trumpers. Biden is far from perfect, but I’d vote for him over that Rapist Orangutan every single time!
What backlash? Olbermann? Who the hell gives a damn?
Two things can be true: Biden is a stopgap in the path of fascism that I will choose to vote for and I can also say fuck him so much for so many things.
I can say we are fucked because our choices get worse every cycle. Two things can be true and I for one won’t silence criticism against legitimately not having options other than center and far right.
Despite not having an option anywhere near what I would like for a candidate, I do what I think is best even if it’s just less shitty. Yeah, I’ll vote for Biden. Yeah, I’ll also vote in local elections. I’ll also boycott unethical companies. I’ll do many things to voice my choices.
They extend way beyond once every four years.
Stewart is only getting started. A month from now no one will be questioning what “side” he’s on. He’s gonna take Trump and this fascist movement to task, and he *will* tell us what is at stake.
They are both born before Bill Clinton. I think the take away should be ok, they are both old, so can’t use that as a decision point. What is truly amazing to me is how many elections I have had in my life time that have had no candidate that I was happy voting for.
A lot of people forget what Jon Stewart did back in the day. He’s as awesome as always.
For me iits more a less the topic of Biden old is a tired one. The thing that made the daily show great is that Jon used to talk about subjects that often were not getting coverage or enough coverage.
I like Biden, and will / would support him in a second presidential campaign… but it doesn’t mean I can’t make jokes about his age and laugh at what honest opinion John Stewart shares.
I mean it’s the honest reality – Biden is old and probably not nearly as quick as he once was. With that said, he’s still good people and **it appears he listens to advisors / consultation from other professionals.** I think that’s the biggest thing people are missing, his entire admin isn’t old, just Biden is old – I hilariously think of situation room meetings in which hes like Gandalf in the fellowship of the ring meetings lol.
Just my opinion, but I think people are afraid that any slight towards Biden from Stewart might sway someone away from voting for him which is a legit concern but it’s on the individual to use their damn head.
Biden is old. He’s also a bit slower as any 80 year old would be. I voted for him in 2020 and will again this year. I wasn’t excited for it in 20 but the reality is he’s done a shockingly good job. Whether it’s actually him or the team he has on board, I feel no shame in voting for him again.
Plus Trump and the GOP are literally proving they’re corrupt, treasonous garbage.
It’s a 20 minute comedy show and Keith Olberman is in shambles lol.
Ride on Jon, ride on.
People get to contextualize and respond to comedy. That’s allowed as well. It’s fair to joke about Biden’s age (ad nauseam atm) but it’s also more than reasonable for ppl to voice their anxiety about this election. So senseless to generate “enemies” in this moment.
See when I watched the episode I didn’t like what he was saying. He wasn’t wrong though. I’m 25, the most common critique I hear against Biden is that he is old and senile. My problem is that whenever I ask for what actions the person speaking is referencing in regards to Biden, they have nothing to back it up with.
I don’t mind people being critical, but I wish people wouldn’t just echo what they hear online. That was my big issue with Stewart doing this. In the end, the people consuming this content are left leaning and do not want another trump presidency. It’s really easy to make the people around my age stop giving a shit. Which is why I think that pushing these ideas only adds to the culture of apathy I see in my peer groups.
That being said, I think the opinions of younger people are still valid that they want a president closer to their age. I just think media needs to realize the actual impact it has on voting.
We all know if the youth turnout is low, Stewart will make a comment about how voting only actually works if you go out and vote. Which would be valid if he didn’t take actions to push apathy.
In the end I’m glad Stewart is back and loved the following episode regarding Carlson. That was just what I thought about everything. It wasn’t as deep as Twitter made it out to be though.
The parties are not the same.
If he is just going to go the same route that the rest of the media is going by ignoring or downplaying Biden’s accomplishments and promoting trump’s behavior as somehow “jUsT aS bAd” in order to get “easy” ratings or cheap laughs, then I will not be watching.
If I want the New York Times I’ll read the New York Times.
Biden 2024
Fun fact: if Hillary had won in 2016 Roe would still be the law of the land today.
They had tons of guest hosts who were wonderful and they went back to….this. Pathetic.
Gird your loins everybody, its going to get much harder than this.
This isn’t the time for ANY both side-isms. The situation is way too critical and the vote will likely be EXTREMELY close.
I felt like the MSM headlines waaay overstated the whole segment. He had valid points and was, IMO, pretty mild in his criticisms.
I also thought his response in his segment last night was pretty good. Using Tucker Carlson was pretty great.
People are mentally ill with political obsession
Stewart criticizing Biden is helping Trump which is just Wrong !!
Stewart has become the thing he railed against. He went against Tucker on crossfire for false narratives and fraudulently both siding the issues.
I disagree with Biden on many things but you can be sure as fuck I’ll be canvassing for him this year in the rural north Georgia mountains. Do your part.
