18. Really? You think that Stewart was chiefly responsible for Democrats running with Kamala instead

Tue Jan 27, 2026, 02:55 PM

Tuesday

and that Biden would have beaten Trump, if there hadn't been a one-night-a-week basic cable comedy show that sometimes said Joe Biden was old?

And there was me thinking that social media was the modern influence. Turns out that there was a sleeping giant of cultural influence that had never been seen as the most important before, and everyone said was fading, and it Ruled America, with the Democratic Party paying attention to it, rather than ... something else (what, by the way, would have persuaded people that Biden was going to beat Trump?)
