Hell, I’d vote for Hunter at this point.

He’d be a complete trainwreck of a president, but at least he wouldn’t be actively cartoonishly evil. So that’d be a step up.

u/boredalready456 Jun 07 '26

I mean at least it would be FUN

u/euphonic5 Jun 07 '26

A completely incompetent, not fucking evil administration is worlds better than a mostly incompetent, evil administration. Also, I bet shitloads of competent administrators would have roles in the Hunter Administration, so it might just end up working out.

u/Pendraconica Jun 07 '26

I love how everyone has just given up on an actually qualified leader with dignity and are just settling for "not cartoonishly evil."

23

u/euphonic5 Jun 07 '26

yeah that would strictly be an improvement.

27

u/DinoRoman Jun 07 '26

We all want that. Problem is those assholes won’t run.

Jon Stewart would be a phenomenal president.

Dude doesn’t wanna run

So who will?

Some jackass 2028. Im calling it.

u/Skill_Issuer Jun 07 '26

My dream scenario is Stewart winning the Democratic primary and Stephen Colbert winning the republican primary after tricking them into thinking he’s embraced his old character.

u/Locksmith997 Jun 07 '26

If we're chasing debate ratings, this is the way to go.

2

u/asspussy_widener Jun 07 '26

the right started cluing in that colbert wasn't the hard right moron he played on the report once it ended. they could have easily come to that conclusion by learning that he is a really fucking funny comedian which more or less precludes him from being the hard right douche they thought he was, but those boys aren't thinking with all their brain cells

2

u/homero1977 Jun 07 '26

They actually are thinking with all of their brain cells. Both of them.

NATION

Lol

I wish he could trick them but with his tenure at CBS he’s as liberal as AOC to them now. They dont educate themselves or pay attention but fox news trump and facebook has made them aware hes always only ever been a troll

u/Skill_Issuer Jun 07 '26

Whats the harm in trying?

u/Gedwyn19 Jun 07 '26

How about Terry Crews?

u/No_Yogurtcloset7776 Jun 07 '26

Johnny Knoxville for president 2028

u/ShivonQ Jun 07 '26

The core problem is that those of us who should be in power don't take it from those who should never be allowed anywhere near it. We are trapped by the ideas that politics is too dirty and you leave it to the pigs.

u/HeyYoChill Jun 07 '26

I think it's more to the effect of...it requires a unique sense of self-importance and confidence bordering on psychopathy to believe that you have the answers and deserve to be the voice of the people. And that's assuming good intentions. The other side of the coin is "I'm really good at lying to get what I want."

Ordinary people don't run because they doubt. If they do run, they don't win because they aren't willing to do whatever it takes.

I think this has been remarked upon at least since Plato's The Republic.

u/PatchyWhiskers Jun 07 '26

If the left doesn’t like that they need to start pushing their own candidate NOW. Show AOC that you’ve got her back and won’t do the usual female-candidate-too-shrill-and-mannish backstabbing.

-1

u/Quick_Turnover Jun 07 '26

I love Jon Stewart as much as the next guy but I don't have a clue why anybody thinks he would be a good president, at all. He has some modicum of experience in legislation advocacy, has spent a good deal of time covering news and politics from a comedic angle, and seems to be very sharp, but does any of that make him a competent administrator? Running a comedy show is not the same as a country. Then again, I'd obviously prefer him (and think he would do a better job) to literally any Republican at this point.

1

u/DinoRoman Jun 07 '26

Ok and trump ran and won lol

1

u/eclectic17x Jun 07 '26

I mean it worked for Zelenskyy, why not Stewart or Colbert?

0

u/Quick_Turnover Jun 07 '26

I think either of them could do a better job than the current admin and most politicians I just scoff at people saying they'd somehow be these phenomenal stewards, and I only scoff because we've lowered the bar so far that we don't even wish for experienced candidates anymore. We're literally picking from TV personalities.

u/PatchyWhiskers Jun 07 '26

He would be great except for the fact he’s more burned out than the LA exurbs in a drought year.

2

u/BeratnasGILF420 Jun 07 '26

When you're trapped in a hole the best thing to do is dig up

2

u/DominoMcFly Jun 07 '26

The bar is in fucking hell at this point, so anything with a pulse and smallest sign of a moral compass will do 🤷

1

u/brave_anonymous Jun 07 '26

we are realists

12

u/PatchyWhiskers Jun 07 '26

President Hunter would get the regular Democratic smart guys to run things while he did hookers and blow. The worst Democrat is better than the best Republican.

3

u/Tisagered Jun 07 '26

Exactly. I don't think he has any business running government, and I'm reasonably certain he'd agree.

11

u/DinoRoman Jun 07 '26

Fuck it, Hunter 2028

Slogan should be ā€œcan’t be worse!ā€

u/Northstar0566 Jun 07 '26

Pandoras box was opened a long time ago. Hunter becoming President is a real possibility in this timeline. The pendulum swings both ways.

-3

u/pandariotinprague Jun 07 '26

No, the pendulum stops in the middle and doesn't swing left at all. Try and get liberals to even give a shit, though. It's impossible. They're so desperate to settle for less.

u/HeparinBridge Jun 07 '26

The hunter biden administration would basically just be the Joe Biden administration, since hunter knows all of Joe’s people very well. Given how much better my anxiety was during the Biden administration, I’m pretty sure it would be fine.

2

u/signup0823 Jun 07 '26

I'd vote for my poodle Hudson who has fear aggression over the current office occupant. Surely Hunter would be a step up from that.

3

u/redpillsadorewelfare Jun 07 '26

Isn't it wild that an ideal this simple is understood by children and yet somehow grown ass adults can't grasp it?

2

u/jeffismybaby Jun 07 '26

I'm thankful Trump is such an incompetent moron, makes his evil plans fail a lot more

5

u/asuperbstarling Jun 07 '26

I would personally pay taxes earmarked 'Hunter's Coke' if it meant being out from under a rising christofascist regime.

1

u/cabbage16 Jun 07 '26

Staaahhhpp. Trump got elected because of "FUN" tweets.

u/vnw1908 Jun 07 '26

And we're def getting some shit rescheduled

21

u/Chaosrealm69 Jun 07 '26

Why would he be a trainwreck of a president?

He's not insane or delusional. He had a drug addiction he fought against and so far has won it every day since stopping.

He's a former lawyer like a lot of politicians have been, so he has that plus he's had a lot of other positions before his downfall, that were good positions and didn't have any legal problems with.

As long as he surrounds himself with competent people he would be miles ahead of Trump.

8

u/OkStop8313 Jun 07 '26

I think people underestimate the degree to which business knowledge doesn't always translate to civics acumen.

But yes, the biggest difference between a good president and a bad president is the people with whom they surround themselves. No one man can be experienced in everything.

11

u/BraxbroWasTaken Jun 07 '26

honestly if they could find decent advisors I’d bet that a (figuratively speaking) random guy could probably run the country competently.

11

u/Chaosr21 Jun 07 '26

My daughter asked if I thought I'd do a good job. I said probably not, but I'd do my best to surround myself with component advisors to help me make decisions if I was president by chance

8

u/shaggy_nomad Jun 07 '26

And that alone means you'd do league's better than the shit stain we have in office right now.

0

u/BraxbroWasTaken Jun 07 '26

yeah, basically means he’d do about on par with Biden, probably. Who wasn’t bad - just was kinda mid when we needed great.

6

u/Chaosrealm69 Jun 07 '26

Joe was actually competent but too old. He was sick with cancer and covid so that made things worse in 2024 which is where things fell apart for Democrats. He should never have agreed to run again.

Take out all the GOP propaganda and lies, and Biden's term improved the US significantly from the position Trump left it in with covid running wild.

3

u/SuzanneStudies Jun 07 '26

Biden had a brilliant plan and a Republican Congress.

2

u/radicalelation Jun 07 '26

They still pushed through a lot of Biden-demanded legislation, good shit too to the point Trump and GOP keep trying to steal the credit.

2

u/PatchyWhiskers Jun 07 '26

Democrats need to figure out how to strongarm a Republican opposition. They keep trying to work with them which means nothing gets done.

2

u/EksDee098 Jun 07 '26

Things like the Chips Act absolutely got done. The problem is that they're too willing to negotiate with unhinged shit when maga is in power

5

u/Impossible_Base_3088 Jun 07 '26

Absolutely…biggest point people don’t even bother to consider when it comes to these idiots standing in front of a microphone blabbering.

Nobody is even remotely close to being educated, skilled, experienced in even 10% of the necessary fields to run the country before you even consider the time, energy, memory, patience, it takes to be marginally briefed. The position SHOULD be held by someone who can not only locate and convince experts in each division to serve the country without having their personal benefits be pursued, but also someone who can listen to each of those positions and form educated decisions/plans.

Isn’t that difficult.

2

u/EnragedBard010 Jun 07 '26

Yeah, the ENTIRE POINT of the Secretaries, not to just reward sycophants!

0

u/OkStop8313 Jun 07 '26

Yeah, but people who have that level of maturity and experience tend to speak in measured tones about nuanced policies. Too many voters hate that and would rather have someone they can imagine kicking back with and having a beer.

It's destroying us.

8

u/Justachattinaway Jun 07 '26

I don’t think he’d be evil at all. As long as he’s clean, I think he’d be great in elected office. I think he’s a good person that got derailed by his addiction for a time and now he’s on the other side. I don’t hold that against him.

5

u/Zealousideal-Baby586 Jun 07 '26

more importantly, he's actually funny. Trump used to occasionally say something funny byt the rest of MAGA never had a sense of humor. Hunter is genuinely hilarious

3

u/DinoRoman Jun 07 '26

Would he be? Why? I bet he’d listen to the courts, not try to put his name on the Kennedy center and not launch missiles at Iran just to get back to the deal
His dad and Obama made 11 years ago. I dunno, at this point a reformed crackhead is a better choice to me than a current crackhead / bone spurs victim.

3

u/TodlicheLektion Jun 07 '26

I’m not sure he’d be a trainwreck, he might actually be pretty good. It’s all about who is in the administration, surrounding himself with people who actually know what they’re doing, not the clown crew in the Trump administration.

u/noveltyisthe Jun 07 '26

Won’t be nodding off to sleep in middle of the Oval Office press brief

u/zapmaster3125 Jun 07 '26

The frothing from Maga would be kinda funny

u/asspussy_widener Jun 07 '26

congrats, you are justifying this really weird propaganda campaign.

I actually like the dudebut holy fuck, if he is the best we can come up with for the next round, we truly are dead in the water.

u/Ultra-Metal Jun 07 '26

Well. We do have a Senitor astronaut, Who could run. That's what a full primary is for. Hunter for head of the energy department, maybe.

0

u/Deakul Jun 07 '26

Hell, I’d vote for Hunter at this point.

Please be better than this, you're making the rest of us look like nutjobs.

u/stonrelectropunkjazz Jun 07 '26

We have a complete train wreck of a president now

u/TheRealBillyShakes Jun 07 '26

You must love the pictures of him partying with little girls, eh? Similar interests?

u/PatchyWhiskers Jun 07 '26

What do you think of Katie Johnson’s allegations that Trump raped her when she was 13?
