    but you’d have to talk the DNC into it

    I don’t think they could stop Jon Stewart. Not even close. And the lesson on why they can’t stop him is something ANY progressive looking to challenge to the DNC would need to keep in mind. The DNC seems to only be able to shut down threats from within the DNC. Jon would be operating outside of their power structure.

      Didn’t stop them from side lining Bernie. He was the most popular presidential candidate for two elections in a row and didn’t appear on the Ballot either time.

        Still fucking hurts. We didn’t have to experience ANYTHING like we have in the previous 10 years. It was literally all optional and the DNC chose to expose us to this.
