Sure, very few Trump voters are likely TDS viewers. But at the very least, he should’ve said, “Sure, Biden has his issues. But he CLEARLY is the lesser of 2 evils. In fact, he isn’t evil. So it ought to be no choice.”

Is Stewart’s job to be a shill for Biden or the party? Of course not. If the party wants to advertise on Comedy Central then let them buy the 30 minute block. Stewart is a commentator on reality as he sees it. He’s not there to pretend there is no problem on the Democratic side. He’s not there to whistle in the dark like many are.
