Interesting that political comics have some of the largest podcast audiences. If he marketed himself big time on podcasts- he could probably win. He could bring on a popular Dem as VP.
We definitely need a candidate good at marketing themselves- one who is super savvy about social media.
Plus His stance on Gaza resonates with the young and with progressive voters. We see how popular Mamdani is taking a stance on genocide. Stewart could get the anti war young people.
As most Dem voters are now against the genocide- it would be smart to run an anti-genocide candidate. I like AOC but we saw with Kamala its hard for a woman to win. People on social media calling for. a Stewart/Bernie ticket. It will never happen but its interesting to see it being posted.
Social media will probably decide the next president - it probably gave Trump the win with younger men. Being a comic - he could probably get 50 to 100 million views on top podcasts easily. This is a different world now.
