Trump, who I do not support This is getting exhausting
Someone should tell Mike Figueredo that the Cheney endorsements are about defeating Trump.
OMFG these people are exhausting.

Stewart has become really tiring. It's easy to grandstand and pretend you are ethical when elections literally make no difference in your life, John.

Just an out of touch Leftist that thinks his "intellectualism" and "wit" gives him the right to endanger the rest of us because of his "morals". He's no better than idiots like Susan Sarandon and Mark Ruffalo -- people who can go live anywhere on earth and never suffer the consequences of their politics.

It's not even his 'wit'. In his prime he was a presenter with an extremely skilled writing team.

I get what you are saying and all. But I don't care about his presentation or who his writers are now. If this guy had half the political muster that he's famed for, he would know that his stupid takes on Biden and the rest of the Democrats have been nothing but self-serving and treasonous.
Fuck him and fuck his supporters. This election has exposed so many people that it's become laughable. The rightwing is a cult and the leftwing is made up of trifling whores.

He's always been like this though, I'm not sure why people are expecting him to change. I still remember when he played the both sides bullshit when Dubya was President.

Yeah he was great for the Bush era but I really think he's lost his ability to read the room.

u/LeftyRambles2413 Oct 23 '24
I really think it began with the rally he had in 2010. The only thing I really remember from the rally was that they gave a nice acknowledgment to Armando Gallaraga and Jim Joyce. I won’t bore the non baseball fans why that was a thing but Jon was trying to both side the opposition to Obama which was heavily based in his paternal ancestry as well as being overwhelmingly favored at the polls with those of who us wanted to see what a Democratic President with a Congress could do. I loved TDS in the Bush years but the humor there like The Onion albeit later got lost because the more left writers behind it resented Obama for not remaking politics as they wanted it. And I think they resented that Obama didn’t display the personal hostility to the Bush Administration many of us including myself felt.

I watched the interview, and the "Humanist Report" headline is dumb. Stewart has been over-the-top lately, but it was a very friendly exchange and refreshingly to-the-point. Stewart asked Walz if the Cheney endorsement was really necessary, Walz explained it well and put it in context, they moved on.
The audience loved Walz, too, even more than I expected.

The way they chat and laugh together? Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell work together and are civil; she seems awfully comfortable given Gaetz's history.
Edit: watch literally any clip of them together. Most Republicans shit on Gaetz more than she does.

There are two definitive types of people when it comes to politics and it’s not “left” or “right.” It’s people who understand that elections are a zero sum game and people who don’t.
I genuinely do not understand what good people think can come from attacking their own side.
You cannot do shit if you don’t win.

Ask yourself if any of those people have ever had anything on the line or lived a life of need and necessity. You will see that they haven't. They're no different than the Bolsheviks that lived a bourgeois life but demanded more sacrifice from the serfs they were supposedly fighting on behalf of.

Steward needs to understand that politics is fundamentally about compromise. This is really important today when many GOP politicians have moved further to the right and refuse to work at all with Democrats.

Daily show went 80/20 against Biden vs trump in “joke writing” before Biden was shamed into leaving. If Kamala loses it’s on them. Now they want to throw gotcha questions at Walz.

u/LeftyRambles2413 Oct 22 '24
Jon complained a lot about Biden’s age when he knows full well that he would have been fine with an incumbent Bernie. The thing that will never not infuriate me about those left and right who have mocked Biden for his age is they weren’t exactly supporting young candidates either and pssst the guy from Scranton actually got shit done unlike the broken record from Vermont who has zero major legislative accomplishments and noun, verb, great/terrible from Queens.

The “Biden resign” traitors are already convinced that since the social media vibes in their feed are so good for Harris that Biden is necessarily less electable than Harris. Their righteousness is already proven in their minds
I hope to God their gamble pays off but if we lose because of them it’ll be Bernie math all over again

If Jon Stewart understood anything about politics he would understand that instead of acting like this is the left moving towards the right, it's actually a very disturbing and damning account of how insane the Republicans have become.
Republicans are extremely partisan, the fact that the Cheney's crossed the aisle to back Harris should have everyone's hair on fire about the consequences of Trump.
Jon Stewart is one of the most aggravating people because he worked with Congress personally to pass a first responders bill and could LITERALLY see Republicans denying it on party lines OVER AND OVER again while simultaneously running on supporting first responders, especially right after 9/11...but this fucking moron still acts like both sides are the same. DEMOCRATS would have passed the first draft of that bill.

Leftists: “You have to work for our vote!”
Dems: “Sorry, you demand too much and it wouldn’t be productive to try to meet all of your requests, so we might as well try to go for some moderate republicans instead…”
Leftists: “HOW DARE YOU DO YOU NOT CARE ABOUT OUR VOTE???? YES WE DO CONSTANTLY MOVE THE GOALPOST AND ARE NEVER SATISFIED, BUT WE STILL EXPECT YOU TO SOMEHOW MEET ALL OF OUR REQUESTS WITHIN THE TWO WEEKS LEFT OF YOUR CAMPAIGN 😡😠”

MAGA 🤝 USING THE CHENEY’S ENDORSEMENT AS A TALKING POINT TO ATTACK DEMOCRATS 🤝 TOXIC LEFT “PROGRESSIVES”
It’s not fucking hard to comprehend that the Cheney’s endorsement of Kamala has absolutely nothing to do with policies and 100% to do with PRESERVING AMERICAN DEMOCRACY from a cult of traitors.
Any prominent conservative politician remaining who HASN’T sold their soul and bent the knee to Donald Trump (equivalent to political suicide in the Republican Party) is welcome.
This is why progressives prevent ACTUAL progress from happening. This “us vs. then” mentality. That’s not how functional politics work.

I watched the interview and it was hardly a grilling, the topic was more meant for a way for Jon to act uncomfortable for laughs, but it wasn't a grilling in the ways I know he is capable of.

u/JacobStills Oct 23 '24
It's so frustrating, I remember John Oliver complaining about "all the Republican speakers at the 2020 DNC." The Cheneys and all the Republicans backing Harris aren't Democrats now, they are just smart enough to vote for the candidate they don't have many agreements with but they know is going to uphold democracy. The message they and the Democrats are trying to send is to give permission to all the sane, moderate conservatives on the fence to do the same.
It's a strategy to win, not moral grandstanding. Besides the moderate conservatives are more rational and a much larger demographic than the progressives that demand the moon and threaten to stay home if you give any less every single election. Besides we've seen how Biden's progressive politics were "rewarded."

I watched this interview earlier today, and I feel like the bit about the Cheney's lasted about 90 seconds, and ended when Walz said they weren't going to be taking on any of their policies.
That tweet seems.. Hyperbolic at best.

u/VerminVundabar Oct 23 '24
What's the confusion? Harris is trying to get Never Trump Republicans to vote for her so she's accepted the endorsements of the Cheneys and has had 2 (TWO!!!!) campaign events with Liz Cheney.
Is Jon Stewart so dumb that he thinks there is a big secret to be dragged out of the Harris-Walz Campaign about this?

u/Calm_Possession_6842 Wauk tuah the polls Oct 23 '24
I think some of you guys should just watch the interview lol. This headline is misleading. Jon didn't GRILL anyone, and that entire show was him calling out the media for focusing on dumb, sensational Trump shit like the Arnold Palmer thing instead of a lot of the scary, authoritarian things he has been saying lately.

He's a satirist, first and foremost. If he's a leftist (and that's a massive 'If' from where I sit), then he's certainly on the reasonable end of the spectrum. I've watched The Daily Show often since he came back, and not once have I heard him or any of the other hosts suggest not voting for Harris, or that Biden is a genocidal maniac. His criticism of our side, when given, has never been followed by "Don't vote for them." And his criticism of Trump has always been followed by "Don't vote for him."

u/28462 Oct 23 '24
The problem is that he criticizes the democratic party at all. That’s helping Trump. Also his “reasonable” takes provide ample cover for people more further left to disobey their duty to vote for Harris

u/VenetusAlpha Oct 23 '24
...As a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, that mindset is incredibly dangerous. There is a mile of difference between criticism from leftists that have gone all the way around the bend that's more virtue signaling than not, and well-meaning criticism from our fellow brethren. One of them is okay to tune out to a degree, and the other we can never ever become deaf to.
If we can't accept criticism from within our own ranks, that's the beginning of the end. Personally, I'm grateful for it. This is how I know we're not like MAGA, walking in lockstep behind a candidate who can do no wrong. That's the difference between us. We hold each other accountable, and they obfuscate. We lose the ability to do that, what are we winning for?
