Colbert is the one well placed, to dust off his satire schtick after a maga conversion on his own channel.

He should quit the network early and start, the colbert reported.

Kimmel idk, but these networks will find conservatives have no sense of humor and cannot drive ratings. If they censor things the right cries about no one will subscribe to their dogshit streaming platforms.

    The satire schtick won't get Colbert elected. Kimmel is charismatic and likeable with his own personality. No point in chasing conservative votes; just get liberals excited and showing up.

    I'm not saying for Colbert to run for office, I just want him to dust off his satire bit, I think he has way more effective at that than he has been as a establishment Democrat cheerleader.

    But since we are on the subject, I do want to see Jon Stewart as the Presidential nominee in 2028, at the head of a host of Reform minded candidates be there Progressive or other flavor of candidate matching their constituencies, that do not think people should be as fucked by the super rich without their consent.

    Because that is almost everybody electorally. Red State and blue. And the only way to win here now is with a massive electoral Landslide and even then it might be hard to overcome the Party Machine fixing the elections every way they can.
