When Mehdi Hasan sat down with Jon Stewart last month, the roles were reversed. This time, the Emmy-winning host of The Daily Show was the one asking the questions — about corporate media, Gaza, Do…
This is true. Jon Stewart held that extremely cringe march to restore sanity some time ago. And if I recall, he later said that calling the Republicans fascists was a step too far.
Look, I’d vote for him if he was the only option, but he does not represent the anger burning at the heart of the American left-of-center. I believe, much like Biden, Harris, Clinton, Obama, the other Clinton, who are all flavors of the same exact person, he would naively want to make peace with Republicans, to heal the divide, when what we need is to punt them out of congress entirely.
I mean, has he signaled anything different? Does he recognize the cliff the US is being steered over?
I’ll take your word for it, man. I just don’t want to see people clinging to the driftwood around them because it’s the only thing they have imagination for.
If Jon Stewart runs and wins, I need him, I need him, to be unfair to the right wing. We are past bipartisanship. We can no longer take 4 entire years to arrest the architects of Jan 6.
The cliff I’m referring to, by the way, is not just Trump’s government. There are a lot of reasons we are in the place we’re in right now.

He does recognize the cliff. I listen regularly to his Weekly Show interviews, and they talk a lot about said cliff. He also talks about fascism.
