    I wouldn’t call him “die-hard”. He’s a neoliberal, but I think he’s clearly pretty conflicted.

    He seems like a closet Berniecrat. He hasn’t said it, but I think he is probably a Warren voter.

    I wish he was more socialist, but it’s clear that he hates Jefferies and Schumer, and has a sinking suspicion that Democrats are just the Washington Generals, but is still in the denial phase.

    I listen to his podcast, and it’s mostly good. He’s still a lib, but he’s clearly working on it. It especially comes out when he’s taking with his producers, who he clearly hired to help him see his blind spots.

    I like him.

      I couldn’t have said it better myself. I think Stewart has a positive effect on politics overall, even if he does drive me nuts occasionally. People shouldn’t put him on a pedestal, but similarly they shouldn’t call him full neoliberal.

      Shit’s nuanced.
