He should run for president

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 2 days ago (2 children)

My unpopular take: he shouldn't. Maybe for congress, but honestly his skills and voice is better as a commentator.

Jon has an uncanny ability to speak truth to power. We don't have many of those right now. If I were president, I might ask him to join an advisory board, similar to what Kal Penn did under Obama.

What we need are more young and progressive people running for office. Everywhere. Especially at the local level.

The number of religious Karens running unopposed is too damn high especially at the school board level.

I dunno, a president who actually knows how to use the bully pulpit again could be just the thing we need.

Then he will be Al Franken. I really enjoyed his time in office throwing truth in people's faces, but it didnt come to much.

I’ll never forgive Gillibrand for rat-fucking him.

What a joke he got cancelled for mimeing squeezing breasts before he became a congressman.

Democrats hate progressives.

I've been wanting him to do this for years now.
