Jon Stewart should stand aside and let someone younger run the show

87. I think he's advocating for better campaign imaging.

He's saying that President Biden should be portrayed better and stronger, in more "Conan the Barbarian" style than rooting for chocolate chip cookies.

He's saying "SHOW Biden BEING the strong, capable, multi-tasking, take-no-shit manager of all that's important that you all say he is 'behind the scenes.' The public needs to SEE it, not just hear about it." And that the cookie thing just makes him look old and ineffectual. It feeds into the "Biden is old" narrative, to his and our detriment.

Yes, Biden's track record as president so far is enormous, and in a perfect world would speak for itself. But it's not speaking loudly enough to be heard by those who need to hear it. I agree with Stewart that the campaign needs to highlight his strengths more (though I disagree that filming and releasing closed-door meetings is the way to do it).

At first I was taken aback by Stewart's harping on President Biden's age, but as the segment went on I came to see it as showing us what the rest of the general public outside DU are seeing, and his urging the campaign to get much better at portraying him as the warrior that he is.

It's that difference in perception of Trump and him as to which is SEEN and PERCEIVED as strong and capable that is important. Biden isn't being seen that way by too many, and that's what needs to change.
