yes. they really do. this sounds stupid as shit but if his numbers keep up expect 'going on rogan' to be a standard move for future presidential nominees/candidates. literal clown world

I mean I rather a bunch of meatheads listen to what Bernie has to say then for him to waste time talking to a bunch of people that agree with him. The point of of a campaign is to get as many voters as possible not just your base.
I love the Joe Rogan podcast. Great for hearing all kinds of perspectives and he has some interesting people on. Its genuinely entertaining and I'm not scared to hear different views no matter how stupid. I got a kick out of an old Ted Nugent one the other day. Anyways, will definitely be listening to this on my next flight.
Eh, Rogan is a dumbass but Bernie can run laps around him anyway and get a bunch of publicity so it's a net positive.
I think that's a pretty good analysis.
I think that's a pretty good analysis.
I'm of the opinion that people pushing populist politics should spread their message as far as they can. Unless they know the show is going to give them a bad edit or not let them speak. If they can go on someone's show who opposes them and run circles around them, more the better.
Why do you think it's a bad idea? He'd be signal boosting people with very different politics than the ones he has... to their own audience? Do you think this interview will turn Bernie Sanders supporters alt-right? I'm not sure exactly what you're implying would happen.
How in the hell do he get people like killer mike and cornel west on his show praising him? They don't seem like the type that will hang out with racist.
Killer Mike is clown shoes with regards to gun control but I think he's at least gotten better.
Because Joe Rogan has no discernable political views. He just agrees with whoever comes on his show because he's too stupid to fully comprehend wtf they are talking about. He's casually racist but it's not really part of his persona or basic message so people ignore it.
I get why Bernie would go on the show, Rogan has literally millions of listeners you can reach and it's the easiest platform by far because Rogan will never question anyone on anything. The problem with Rogan is he will provide that platform to nearly anyone, including alt-right fuckheads.
As for why anyone listens to an idiotic muscle-head like Rogan...I have no clue.
Lol at all the comments in that twitter post. This is an extremely good idea since he's speaking straight to a huge audience that doesn't like him. You can only increase in supporters.
Also chill with all the pearl clutching about going on rogan's podcast. It's not the GOTCHA BERNIE that you think it is.

Going on a show that shills for the alt-right does nothing but legitimize that platform. By him going on, he's equating himself to the likes of Ben Shapiro, Gavin McInness and Alex Jones which helps Rogan more than helps Bernie. This is a get for Rogan, not the other way around. Bernie will be heard by plenty (not that he needs it) but on the broader scope this is just saying the alt-right guests Rogan constantly has on are every bit as legit as someone running for President.
Joe Rogan doesn't deserve to be legitimized, he deserves to be shunned and called out on his bullshit yet here we are again with another Rogan thread and people still not getting that.
Sad but not surprising.
Do you mean the Dave Rubin that Rogan had on his show a few times now?
Maybe Rogan needs to go on Alex Jones's show to defend the accusation he's alt-right again. That'll show 'em.
Not a big fan of a billionaire co-opting a class consciousness and anti-money in politics movement.
Anyway, not curious enough to tune in to this, but will be reading about the highlights.
Yeah, Rogan was so fucking terrible there. He was also excusing the F*GS t shirt by saying it was supposed to mean figs and not f*gs.
Like... WTF
In what world is Rogan's podcast not already legitimized? It has over 16 million downloads a month and is rated #2 on itunes. Ignoring a platform that big isn't deplatforming, it's allowing one side to run their argument with no counter.
I mean, was this a bad faith thread? OP seems actually interested?
Maybe if we can also go 24 hours with Sanders stans not feeling personally attacked over legitimate criticisms of Bernie

I would say "hell would freeze over first" but I don't believe in hell, so I think I'm going to say trump would sooner resign before this happened
This is the biggest strawman in this thread, and congrats I guess.
I'm a Bernie fan (2nd right behind Warren) and Rogan is a racist cunt that doesn't have nearly the same audience that Fox News has.
Agreed. I think he's doing it because he hears young people like it, same as the Twitch thing. People acting like this is some huge black mark against him though is tiring.
Didn't Andrew Yang just do the Rogan podcast? I guess candidates don't have a problem with using his podcast as a platform. IIRC the Joe Rogan podcast is one of the most listened to podcasts in the US
And others disagree, doesn't mean you need to dismiss all those opinions as bad faith.
He's also said racist things like the planet of the apes comment
This never gets old for me, I laugh every time I read it.I want him to start saying this kind of shit to Bernie. (yes, it just an excuse to post this meme. DON'T JUDGE ME 🤣)
Wait ....is Bernie canceled now?
For any Sanders supporters who think this is a smart calculated move to reach a broader audience, what would your reaction be if it were Biden or Harris going on The Joe Rogan Experience? Same?

Yep same. It's a smart move.
He went on Fox and it was good. Elizabeth Warren did not and what happened? Nothing because it's Fox News. Elizabeth Warren doesn't get to deplatform some huge outlet. Same deal here. It's smarter to reach a large audience and get your message out.
They are already running their argument. Rogan has really never had a counter because he'd rather get hits. He's been running that game for years as he hides behind the "just asking questions" moniker and his fans eat it up.
The fact that Rogan's podcast is so popular isn't a good thing, it's sad because those that are new that might hop on there to listen to Kevin Smith one week are going to hear shit from the founder of Proud Boys the next. To them, they all get the a-ok from Rogan.
No but I think it needs to be pointed out that Joe Rogan has a lot of awful people on his show. It's not like fucking Marc Maron is having Candace Owens on. There's plenty of other popular podcasts that don't cater to pieces of shit.
I think it's out there. Joe Rogan has said some incredibly racist shit. He is a lousy person. I dont know if he ever addressed it at all either.
probably should have clarified, I meant the "low-information voters" and "not campaigning in the south" stuff
I mean....not campaigning in the South was a large reason he didn't win there at all.
Ironically, I think the reasoning was that it's a GOP stronghold, so why bother.
