Unless they're competent AND popular. Zelensky was a comedian before getting elected as well. Now he's basically done the impossible and held his own against Russia despite overwhelming forces. Regardless of your political beliefs, a comedian has done better fighting off Putin than literally anyone else ever. That's an undeniable fact.

So Stewart should run. Because he's the closest thing to competent who's popular enough to win we'll likely ever get again.

My dude. Robots just conned a man. As you pointed out, that was previously only possible through engagement with actual humans.

Seeing as how just a dozen people on Fox News successfully conned the US into Fascism, it's not comforting to know that can now be more easily accomplished through robots.
