Do you think Jon Stewart should run for president of the United States? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] skhayfa@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

Since politic is a joke let's bring in a professional! Coluche a very famous French comedian declared this during his campaign. He campaigned in the late 70s for the presidential election a blank candidate for the blank voters and really shakes up the entrenched political class. After polling at almost 10% and huge pressure he renounced. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coluche

Another famous comedian who get elected was Zelinsky the current Ukrainian president. His candidacy was seen as a joke by many including Putin. Must be less funny now for him. Not a professional politician and rose up quite well for the challenges.

Jon Stewart has strong principle and sound ethics he would make a better candidate than most of these professional politicians.
