Did anyone watch Jon Stewart last night?

[1WorldHope]

He is not on the Biden wagon. He has a lot of influence over many different ages. This just brought me down watching it.

1. Not if I can avoid it n/t

n/t

[onecaliberal]

2. This motherfucker needs to crawl back under the rock he emerged from.

[Quixote1818]

3. He also went after Trump even harder if you watch the whole thing. He compared the two and put Trump

off the charts literally, compared to Biden.

[1WorldHope]

10. Yes, I saw the whole thing.

By then I felt the damage was done. We need unity to capture the House and Senate along with the presidency. We dems really do shoot ourselves in the foot with our objective honesty. I don't care if he stutters and loses his train of thought occasionally. He has proven himself over the last 4 years. If something awful happens over the next 4 years, that's why we have a vice president. She is more than capable as well. Judging by what happened to Hillary it may be the only way a woman will ever be president in this misogynistic country.

[ms liberty]

4. Nope. Not interested.

[LW1977]

5. I've ignored him like the plague since his "both sides" return

Done with him, and Colbert for the time being!

[SCantiGOP]

30. So who is left for you to watch?

Sounds like your boycott list covers the most watched comics in late night TV.

[DiamondShark]

37. Sounds about right.

Why would I want to listen to anti-Biden propaganda. Heck I've unsubscribed to many of the YouTube channels when they started posting anti-Biden "news."

6. highplainsdem and others (myself included) were all over this last evening.

Cheat, my post in the thread.
Jon Stewart should step down.

[ARandomPerson]

7. Who?

[Renew Deal]

8. I saw it. He is saying what people are thinking.

[Ocelot II]

12. Which people?

[SCantiGOP]

33. According to several polls

A majority of voters

[tazkcmo]

14. Many people?

Tremendous amounts?

[emulatorloo]

18. 'many many people are saying it...'

[shrike3]

19. Strong people. With tears in their eyes.

[Sympthsical]

15. Said it in another post

People can't alert on what others are saying at their kitchen tables, although I imagine some do sorely yearn for the power.

Stewart's general outlook and attitude are exactly what I'm hearing from just about everywhere outside of insulated partisan spaces.

I do, however, disagree with his remedy. A brokered convention would be a disaster for the party and our chances in the election. I just don't see any world where that happens and it goes well for us. A portion of our party and base is held together by a coalition that is, for good or ill, identity groups lashed together with scotch tape. Open that can of worms at a late date, and it will be a shitshow.

The President seems likely to hold on to the nomination. If, for whatever reason, he steps down, it has to be Harris. Anything else would be civil war and split the base.

[shrike3]

21. Not me. Every Dem I know is pissed off at the circular firing squad.

You're right re the convention disaster. Plus, people are dreaming if they think the press is going to back off if this happens. If anything, it'll be worse. I thought Tiedrich nailed it in his latest rant.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

9. I dvred it. I may not watch

[Silent Type]

11. Saw a clip. Figured he'd get eaten/bashed.

[broiles]

13. I turned it off. My opinion of Stewart just took a nose dive.

[solara]

36. I'm with you there

Democratic turn-coats should get a grip! It was a bad DEBATE, even a weak start!! But not a "disaster" for President Biden & VP Harris

Good grief.. it was a DEBATE! If they wanted to replace President Biden as our candidate, why did they wait until doing this was practically an impossibility?

Doing this, saying these things now weaken us.. they are throwing the Democratic Party into disarray, which is something putin and the trumpkins are clearly counting on.

"nose dive" does not even begin to describe how I feel about this.

[GoCubsGo]

16. Nope. Don't have cable.

Or, any cable alternative.

[tritsofme]

17. I'm not sure I buy his enduring influence across age groups. He's old and kind of washed up.

The parents of young voters are probably more likely to be fans than young voters themselves.

Maybe he’s too old for this job, and it’s time for him to step down?

[shrike3]

23. He's 62. That's ancient in his business.

Hence, his laser focus on "old" may be projection.

[NoveltySocks]

20. I used to watch him in high school and college, and thought he was great.

Idk why I mostly stopped in the mid-aughts. Probably because life and no cable. It might have been for the best if he'd stayed gone, so that people would think fondly of him/be nostalgic about him. Instead, he comes back in time for the 2024 election cycle, and what little I've seen of him seems a bit tired and pretentious. JMO.

[emulatorloo]

22. 'Both-sides' Jon is a has-been, sorry.

[Ritabert]

24. He and Colbert have gone around the bend

Did he mention Trump's shark and battery tale? Or windmill cancer? Or "egregious" Philadelphia? Or the Revolutionary War airports? I'm done with naysayers.

[Mosby]

25. Making fun of an old person.

That's fucked up.

Just for a laugh.

Fuck you "Jon Stewart".

[dlk]

26. If he's not on the Biden wagon, then he's on the Trump wagon

There is no middle ground in this election. Sad to see Stewart passively supporting Trump. As a Jew, he should have a better grasp of history and at the very least should read the Project 2025 manifesto. He used to be funny. Time marches on, though.

[Autumn]

27. Unfortunately a part of the Democratic electorate is not happy. It can be discussed

and he he’s not calling Biden to drop out. But the way the staff handled the fallout from the debate created a problem. Those varied excuses created the problem Joe's handling this, and will get the campaign back on track. Jon's right though “‘Get On Board Or Shut The Fuck Up’ is not a compelling pro-democracy bumper sticker,” and that's not Joes way.

[PatSeg]

28. No, I just couldn't bring myself to watch him

He's dissed Biden before because of his age and I was pretty sure that this week's episode would be very upsetting. Apparently I was right.

I used to love Jon Stewart, but he's been a major disappointment since he's returned to The Daily Show. I don't have the time or energy to waste on these people anymore. I crossed SNL off my list over a year ago because of the tasteless, tired ageism jokes and of course, Bill Maher has jumped the shark in numerous ways. Watch out Stephen Colbert, you could be next.

That's okay, it gives me more time to watch movies and read.

[Joinfortmill]

29. Yup, too bad. But Joe is gonna win this.

[badhair77]

31. The Daily Show and SNL have been harping on Joe's age.

I’m fed up with it and just deleted it from my DVR. My blood pressure is high enough without watching more of that.

[LexVegas]

32. Under the bus goes Jon. nt

[NewHendoLib]

34. He's been a nothing burger for me since his BS unity

thing in DC.

Then again, I watch no TV period and haven't for 15 years.

[duckworth969]

35. Done with him years ago

Another dime store pundit, the hell with him.
