Ok, hopefully we can get over Rogan talk soon, but the most ridiculous part about the whole thing is that this was all over a loving bernie tweet of Joe Rogan saying "I like Sanders, he's cool as hell"

It's not like they're using him as a surrogate or selected him as VP. It shows the desperation of his opponents (he's gonna win)

actually, i DO think there's quite a bit of cynical strategizing on rogan's part, but it's not about ratings. endorsing bernie gives him some supposed cred among the left, which in turn will make it easier when he eventually starts making GBS threads on him for his support of LGBT rights, civil rights, women's rights, and 'woke' stuff in general.

this thread has become a parody of Extremely Online Woke Liberals and I can't tell if you're serious or not

You think Joe Rogan has endorsed Bernie Sanders in an example of 4D chess to convince disaffected young left wing people to hate on LGBT rights, civil rights, women's rights and uhhhh "Woke Stuff"?

The Thing I saw was him mocking the commercial for not actually being for any cause or group but rather just being a cynical way to get easy press without doing anything but making a bad commercial.

I don't think you've heard Rogan, dude. He's dumb as poo poo but he just doesn't do the things you're saying.

And even if he were (and he’s not), he’d have to be REALLY opposed to social justice with every fiber of his being to be using this as a long con to sucker punch Sanders on LGBTQ+/racial equality or whatever. I don’t care for Rogan, I don’t listen to much of his stuff, but even I can say there’s no indication that he’s driven at all in that ideological direction. He’s just...not that ideological, OR that smart.

And that’s not taking into account how often he has loudly backed left-wing material causes and opposed right-wing objectives.

No, Rogan's looking to expand his audience by catching Bernie's coattails and making himself seem like a tribune of left-wing populism. He wants to make more money. The best way to do that is to get more listeners.

Joe Rogan’s net worth is $25 million. He has possibly the largest pod cast in the history of the world. He’s not struggling for listeners. He seems like a dude that mostly just says what he thinks even when it gets him in trouble.

Someone simply asked him who he was voting for and he said probably Bernie. Maybe it’s not any deeper than that.

And according to him he’s never voted for a Republican in his life so this idea that he’s like switching ideologies for personal gain is just super weird poo poo from people with weird rear end conspiracy brain.

who cares, though. we got his endorsement. hes not a reliable ally or a surrogate or anyone of importance, hes a pawn. im not going to tune into his show and the media cycle will move on by monday and god-willing i won't have to hear about rogan again until elon musk goes back on his show and announces that the cybertruck will have a built-in fuckbot or something.

Rogan can’t think further ahead than his next bong chop. Please stop putting too much thought into this.

Also, real working class organizing involves working with people who don’t talk the way you do, or believe all the things you do. But you use your common interests to get things done that will improve both of your lives.

People who have done organizing get that. People who are online poli-jockeys don’t.

there are a lot of different positions and arguments being made in this thread regarding the rogan thing, so i just want to clarify

- rogan supporting bernie is on balance, an absolute good thing
- my issue is that he is not going to be that much of a reliable surrogate (unofficial or otherwise) going forward, especially given that the endorsement was quite milquetoast to begin with
- again, rogan is not evil, but it is important to note who butters his bread, and his guest list over the years gives a good impression. there's a reason he's invited someone like jordan peterson 4 times (at least), and someone like say, cenk uygur only once

The Party’s gonna ratfuck the convention aren’t they.

They’re gonna find a way to give it to Biden or Warren and then they’re gonna say “it’s up to the BernieBros to join the party and defeat Donald Trump, ball’s in their court”.

-Then if Biden/Warren wins, well things are hunky dory! The Party keeps its values in tact, we beat Trump, we can talk about incremental change in a timely, sensible manner.

-If Trump wins, they can easily point to those dastardly selfish BernieBros, who couldn’t handle the loss of their dear leader a second time! Booo. Shame on them! And the Party still gets to keep its values in tact.

I just don’t see Pete or Warren dropping out anytime before the convention, and I’m sure the donor class is more than happy to keep throwing buckets of money their way to make that happen.

Example 1000 of how, for American liberals, the lives of non-Americans is worth 0, not worthy even of consideration.

Also loving lol trying to turn the Rogan thing also into anti-Muslim bigotry. The Bernie campaign has the only Muslim campaign manager in the history of the US, while the Warren campaign today launched her Council of Interfaith Advisors that had 14 Christian pastors and 0 Muslims.
