Reagan and Trump have proven that actors and media personalities are extraordinarily good at pushing their agendas. The problem isn’t that they were/are celebrities. The problem is that their agendas suck.
Stewart has consistently demonstrated his agenda, on the air and as a lobbyist. His agenda doesn’t suck. His agenda is what this country has been looking for my entire lifetime.

so maybe, just maybe, go with someone that has an actual education and career to show they have a good agenda? not just someone that seems nice… I do not think he has done bad things but he has barely been successful at ONE thing he has pushed the gov for (and not that successful because Vets keep getting defunded)
Uh, my argument was the reverse: That it is celebrity worship, and that celebrities have proven substantially more effective presidents. Reagan and Trump have easily been the most influential presidents since Truman, and only because Truman used the bomb.
My point was that the problem with celebrities in the White House has been their right-wing agendas, not their celebrity status. Their celebrity status enabled them to achieve their agendas in a way that the other, mediocre presidents couldn’t.
Why should we select yet another boring, ignoreable, mainstream, career politician instead?

Dude you’re not winning this point. We understand what you’re saying and we disagree.
Stewart / Sanders 28!
I’m fairly certain the person you’re arguing with is a plant. He’s probably a covert right-winger here to sow discord on the left.
I refuse to believe the average leftist is as mentally handicapped as it would seem from merely reading comments on internet forums.
The widespread compulsive self-sabotage on the left makes no sense otherwise.
lol, tell me it’s not celebrity worship while performing celebrity worship
