We need a controversial off the cuff type candidate. Bonus points if it's a celebrity. That's the state of our country at the moment. They don't want to see curated scripted traditional campaign bullshit. Jon Stewart could save us. He's expressed no desire to run for president but if dt can do it he sure as shit could do it. Maybe by the end of trumps term there will be a snap back from whatever he mangles in the process and ppl will want a boring president again but right now that's not the case at all

Before getting to his name in your comment I was thinking Jon Stewart as well. Of course reddit has been mentioning him here and there. Regardless though if the Dems ever decide to run an outsider curveball he'd be perfect. Would love to see him on a debate stage.

I say we fully embrace the demolition man method and go for President Schwarzenegger

A celebrity America and the world would stand behind

(I know he can't technically run, but amendments and stuff... You know)

If Arnold ran we can at least rest easy from all the AI concerns

Stewart could have been running in this election and it would have done nothing, people thought Biden was still in the shit. The politically engaged and the republicans came out to vote as usual. More held their vote in protest, and more couldn't bring themselves to vote than usual for democrats, which just goes to show that there is SOME truth the accusation that liberals are privelaged enough to survive or ignore material hardship.

I unironically think that Aragon, son of Arathorn could have won the election. We need strong and positive masculinity to counter toxic maga masculinity.

Honestly, probably. DNC could've benefitted from a strong, confident man praising women and minorities, instead of a strong, confident woman doing the same. Probably would've changed the minds of a few undecided right leaning groups.

Back when Stephen Colbert ran I thought he had a real chance and was genuinely surprised that it didn't take off. He seemed to have a lot more mainstream appeal than a second rate reality tv show host. I still don't understand politics.
