(94,590 posts)...that's what this says to me:
@jonstewart: "The stakes of this election don't make Donald Trump's opponent less subject to scrutiny. It actually makes him more subject to scrutiny. If the barbarians are at the gate, you want Conan standing on the ramparts, not the Chocolate Chip Cookie guy."
He's advocating against Pres. Biden here, and that's as good as carrying water for Trump.
But no, I don't think he wants Trump to win. I just think he's a self-aggrandizing idiot who believes his bullshit is the most important thing.
I'd go so far as to say he doesn't believe it would make a difference. He's said as much. It's classic Green Party, no labels pablum.
I don't think it matters what a comedian says, btw, until they're put up as some spokesman for Democratic belief, or put themselves out there. Then they're fair game for disagreement.
He helped defeat Hillary, no matter what he wanted. I think that's important.
