The Rock works the jabroni marks into a shoot by putting over Joe Biden while cutting a promo
- Thread starter ElectricBlanketFire
- Start date
This doesn't hurt anyone, only helps whatever number of people who might be swayed to hopefully vote for Biden.
This election can't be a "well, they could do better", it's life or death for this country. Whatever it fucking takes
Stone cold probably hates him too.
He's shown support to progressive ideas in the past and was shooting on anti maskers and pro confederate flag idiots this year
Maybe Austin has changed but I could've sworn he said he voted for Trump in the 2016 election.
A lot of people still internalize centrism, moderation, being a bipartisan swing voter etc. as signs of an intellectual and being a thoughtful person, for whatever reason. You're willing to hear out both sides.
This is actually a big reason why Biden had as much success in the primaries as he did (and will hopefully win in November) - he comes off like a reasonable guy who doesn't necessarily hold being a Republican against someone, although he obviously hates Trump. It's something you're not really going to see on a place like Era where everyone's takes are colored in by Very Online sources.
Anyway, The Rock's endorsement shouldn't be a deciding factor for people, but it absolutely will be for a few. Glad we're getting all hands on deck here, hoping for a big, blowout win that Trump can't possibly contest.
In a poll that came out this morning, Biden leads Trump 49-41 nationally. 10% are either undecided or pissing their vote away.
So yes.
I dont think so or at least he hasn't publicly said he did.
pretty sure shawn michaels did though.
Yes. And it's about getting people to vote as much as anything. We are talking about nudging small percentage points of people.
Nah I get it, it's more I just don't like the way things are but I recognize that's how they are. I'm also thinking down the road, like Rock has a more than zero chance of running at some point, and imagine the day where he goes to Harris if he's leading and it's "I endorsed you, now return the favor". He's flirted with it, he might very well have those aspirations, I don't want The Rock as president and I don't know that the dude is doing this just out of nobility or whatever.
I don't think it's a hot take to not wish statespeople with decades of public service had to sit down with celebrities to get endorsed to sway the electorate even if that's the current reality but if it is I guess I'm just out of touch.
Wow, I had no idea.
Only non-crazy wrestler I've seen these days is Bautista, his takes are always on-point.
Austin had been very vocal about supporting progressive issues like lgbtq rights and was for a mask mandate (even going so far to say it was a matter of caring for your fellow man). I'd bet strongly against him being a Trump supporter, whether he voted for him in 2016 or not.
Honestly, I can't see any wrestler who ever had to deal with old school promoters supporting Trump. He's a carny asshole through and through.
Between The Rock, Nash, Austin, Foley, Sabu (lol), etc. it's like the late 90s / early 2000s wrestling mainstays are all relatively left leaning progressives.
Good shit.
Good shit.
Most definitely not. Austin has been pretty progressive for a while. The whole persona for wrestling as just a persona
Don't even care what any major celeb or figures ulterior motives are at this point w a Biden endorsement. It's all hands
Very Cool of DJ ( lol) to publicly endorse for the first time a particular candidate. Am pretty sure McMahons are not happy with him at the moment.
Trump supporters telling celebrities to stay out of politics is always good for a laugh.
Nash's twitter, especially during the first bout of the George Floyd protests and subsequent unrest, has been a gold mine of dunking on Trump fans.
Most people I know are centrist. They usually don't vote or pay attention to politics because they dislike controversy
