MODERATORS
I was just interested to see what the reaction would be in this forum.
I thought the politics here was progressive honestly. Now I don't know what it is.
Clearly the joke appeals to the audience of The Daily Show, which is not insignificant in US demographics.
I am not from the US and I have no idea who these people are and what are they doing here. I am genuinely confused if this is real or a skit.
This was my exact reaction
Why on earth is OP going on about "progressive politics" when these "politics" only apply to the US?
It's a skit, but there's an element of sincerity to it.
I had thought The Daily Show was quite big outside of the US. But yeah if you don't follow US politics there's nothing to see here.
I thought the politics here was progressive
There's a BIG difference between progressives and liberal billionaires, though.
Besides, the two times the US elected entertainers as president, it ended in unmitigated disaster.
Have you ever elected a progressive entertainer, and one with a pretty solid political track record to boot?
Honestly, I would put money on her running. Probably not this term, but quite possibly the next
First of all, there's no such thing as a progressive billionaire. It's literally impossible to live up to progressive ideals while hoarding that much needless wealth for yourself.
Second, most of that "solid political track record" is just raking in money and clever pr creating a cult of personality. As Reagan and Trump have demonstrated, those are not qualities that help regular people.
I'll concede that she's been good on civil rights, especially LGBTQ+ rights and abortion rights.
She has, however, no political experience and has to my knowledge never said anything against the pernicious influence of money on politics or economics at all, which IMO disqualifies her, especially when, being a billionaire, she's a symptom of failed fiscal policy herself.
