Can you people just put somebody slightly serious in power? Seriously the fact that people now just accept that entertainment figures should be presidents is fucking horrifying. Why don’t you just vote for Barnie? After all he had some cool values like everybody doing their share while cleaning up.
bernie is too old to grab attention on his own, outside of vermont. good as an fountain of experience/knowledge to pull from but as long as the DNC are controllsd opposition any progressive going through official channels will be neutered or sabotaged
which is why (good) comedians are serious candidates, they cross the party divide easily. harder for the propagandized mainstream outlets to turn the crowd against em
most have seen more of the country/world than pretty much anyone else. got to have empathy, general attachment to humanity, and class class consciousness to punch up consistently. also experience dealing with the whole media landscape, playing a crowd, getting attention/word out there without needing to pay for it etc. most also tend to start from working/bottom class families
all most other politicians in the US have going for them is olde money connections and crony capitalism backing them
BTW idk how many of those oh so ethical comedians have stolen jokes from other people. Loads of them are actually massive fucking dickheads, but you have your cool parasocial relationship with them so yeah they’re obviously qualified to be president. How about suggesting a labour organiser be president instead of a fucking clown a good labour organiser should have all the traits you just mentioned.
Exactly the situation is bad, that’s why we should just submit to the bad situation and accept that from now on only celebrities can become president 🙄 you do realise that that thinking like that makes the situation worse not better.
Jesus Christ 🤦 When a movie star became the president in the 1980s people were horrified, shit has gotten so ridiculous in the United States that the average voter thinks a clown would be competent.
zelensky seems to be doing a fine job considering the circumstances. brains are not required to be a politician (probably a hindrance to most of em). they’re just nepo babies who would have amounted to nothing without their family name/connections
but you do actually kind of need brains to break into/stay successful in show business
Burr has that working-class esthetic popular with rural america, Stewart would probably come off as more “just another jewish liberal media personality” to the maga/racist/rural america crowd
Bill Burr would be harder/impossible for the conservative propaganda machine to spin against
And he’s a comedian, didn’t rise through the military.
Nore did he rise threw nepotism or industry. No he has the mandate of the people
random aside, i think Bill Burr would have serious chance at US presidency

I said Barnie not Bernie, as in the big fucking purple dinosaur. Or maybe Elmo?
Idk who would poll better Barnie or Elmo.
oh, i figured that was a typo.
they would obviously be on the same ticket, elmo president barnie vp

the presidency is a popularity contest, comedians are a much more realistic choice in a center-collapse scenario like the US is having.
US labor is disorganized as fuck, it’s honestly kind of pathetic.
US labour is disorganised because your capitalist masters have an interest in keeping it that way.
Edit: I’m sure your the billionaire class would rather have clowns as presidents as well.

Yeah you don’t need brains if you’re just a puppet having your strings pulled by the wealthy that is true!
Bill burr? I would think jon Stewart before Bill burr. But neither would want it.
both would work, nobody sane wants the position
Burr has that working-class esthetic popular with rural america, Stewart would probably come off as more “just another jewish liberal media personality” to the maga/racist/rural america crowd

His black wife would be a start, as well as his long outspoken hatred of trump, and killing rich people. (Sinking cruise ships)
Ya he could also take millions from the Saudis and be a free speech crusader. All those guys are hacks.
