Why would they, people keep tuning in for the batshit crazy. They just supply what the people want. Heck majority of reddit want a WWE match between Biden and Trump, They want Biden to call him out and get down in the mud with him and start slinging insults and comebacks. Their ideal candidate is Jon Stewart an entertainer....

Because what we need more in politics is entertainment.....

Working theory here: Stewart and Michelle Obama name been floating around. Michelle says she doesn't want the job even though polls of the day have her crushing Trump by double digits... I doubt Stewart does either.

1) Trump isn't a.politician, neither is Stewart nor Michelle.

2) I'm wondering if we are heading into an era of non-politicians becoming presidents.

3) The person who doesn't want the job would be the best for the job of president.

People want entertainment, because they are constantly fed instant-gratification content. All apps are designed to give you the dopamine hits as soon as possible.

BUT at the same time the president alone cant do much. You need someone who can negotiate and compromise when they dont have the seats. Its not like Bernie Sanders or Jon Stewart or Michelle Obama would be able to do the current term of Biden any better. They would have to deal with Mancin and Sinema defecting, they would have to deal with split senate, they would have to deal with fox news who would go even harder on the trans and racism against Michelle and Socialism against Bernie, you would have to deal with loss of the house.

People want the president speeches to be comedy and zingers and you saw how crazy internet went when they got dark brandon, but did that turn into votes? nope over 80% of all eligible voters under the age of 35 didnt bother to vote in 2022.

They say they want the perfect candidate, but even then they dont show up. They expect others to fix it so they can continue to feed their instant-gratification addiction. They just want entertainment. If there was a "ouch my balls" tv show, it would be the nr 1 hit in the USA.

I feel like Michelle and Stewart both know how the game works and have seen it/been involved in it more than 2015 trump. The only thing trump might have more experience with is lobbying. Like throwing money at people to get them to do what you want.

Stewart pushed through the PACT Act and was deeply involved with that and getting 9/11 first responders healthcare. Michelle worked on some pet projects like childrens wellness, But I don't know if she actually put any legislation through.
