The "Daily Show" host urged Democrats to act more like Republicans if they want to get anything done.

Reminds me of BARTCOP complaining of “Pink Tutu” elected DEMS

1. This has been said for decades

And it will never happen

[ThePartyThatListens]

11. It will happen

Once the current crop/generation of Democrats are gone.

There's a new crop coming up.

They're not going to play by those "nice" rules the current one does.

I look forward to seeing this come to fruition.

2. he came back just to troll Democrats

...that's his thing.

He shouldn't be allowed to do that here.

Notice all of the macho bullshit? Great job, John.

He came back to troll Biden and Dems, helped knock the president out of the race, and is now licking his chops.

[newdeal2]

6. I'm tired of his act

He just needs to retire.

3. Yep, exactly!!! MAGA is pressing to do the wrong thing for working people while Dems are following "norms"

[oldmanlynn]

4. This is what we do.

Bring spoons to a gun fight. It would seem our collective higher education would be able to figure a way out of this. Stop being nice when it comes to the future of our country.

[Happy Hoosier]

5. I mean, I kinda agree with him.

We're playing my the Marquis of Queensbury rules, but the MAGAts are all playing by street-fighting rules.

We've lost before we start. I'd had hope that the American electorate would punish their base boorishness. It hasn;t. If we want to survive, we need to recognize the kind of fight we are in and act accordingly.

There is no "unity." When they say unity, they mean we entirely surrender.

7. I want democrats to act like democrats

and not act like republicans. If both parties are willing to ignore the law to gain power, this country will destroy itself.

[Fullduplexxx]

9. Dems run the risk of Marquess of Queensberry ruling themselves into a permanent minority

[SocialDemocrat61]

14. Rather lose doing the right thing

than win doing the wrong thing.

[BannonsLiver]

8. Not a fan of Stewart but I agree

I can see some are still in denial.

[BlueTsunami2018]

10. I've been saying this for decades now.

It’s probably too late at this point.

You can’t play the “rules” and expect to win against an opponent who does not.

[republianmushroom]

12. Yup, traditionalist.

[Intractable]

13. As far as comedians go, I don't find him that funny ...

certainly compared to, say, Kimmel or Colbert.

[SocialDemocrat61]

15. I realize what Stewart is doing here

He's setting things up to blame democrats for everything bad that happens the next few years. It won't be the Republicans fault for doing the bad stuff but democrats fault because they didn't fight back hard enough.

16. Be like trump, they go low

we go high, fight dirty, run a clean campaign. No matter what democrats do it's wrong. But everything is fair game for Republicans. Go figure.

[SocialDemocrat61]

17. The corporate media

has always had a double standard against democrats.
