Summary
Jon Stewart slammed Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for supporting a GOP funding bill after initially opposing it.
On The Daily Show, Stewart mocked Schumer for surrendering leverage without gaining anything in return, joking that he “got some cheese.”
He criticized Schumer’s strategy of waiting for Trump’s popularity to drop, calling it delusional.
Stewart argued Democrats avoid proposing real alternatives by pretending Republicans will compromise. He warned their approval rating is dangerously low, making their approach politically ineffective and out of touch.
The real takeaway is that the country is burning and our politicians are yucking it up together in a gym. We’re 100% in the ivory tower phase. They are removed from it therefore they don’t care enough to do anything but the same old same old.
We need to bring the issues to them in creative ways so that they feel the “impact” of our anger.
Feel free to lead by example.
