This was when I just stopped respecting Colbert and Stewart. They could have done something interesting with their platform but they did this bullshit.
What if they didn't want to be politicians and just be comedians slash commentators.
Don’t hold a giant rally to sap the energy out of a political movement?
Yeah it was definitely the comedians that killed the movement
Did I say kill? Thousands of people traveled to DC who were politically aware for maybe the first time. They get there and the people leading it just are like, idk whatever. That saps energy out of a nascent political movement.
If you don’t want to do politics, don’t hold massive political rallies that are centrist bullshit festivals that have no point.
Was it a political rally or a comedy show?
I was there, and I remember it as more comedy than politics.
