bernie winning rogan's endorsement without even slightly soft-pedalling his ideas is a good thing imo
― chapoquidditch (bizarro gazzara), Friday, 24 January 2020 14:12 (four years ago) link
honestly it's probably more consequential than an NYT ensorsement. his audience is HUGE

wtf I love Rogan now.
― pomenitul, Friday, 24 January 2020 14:24 (four years ago) link
so Rogan withdrew his Gabbard endorsement?

Top 3 YT comments, all recent, in response to last year's Bernie interview:
jesus fricken christ, I just realized that I allowed my opinion of this guy to be designed by everyone else. I actually like this dude.
This is really making me think, before now all i'd seen of Bernie is conservative videos and hit pieces, but he sounds really interesting and intelligent when given the time to give a full statement.
Wow... I thought this man was a complete lunatic but he sounds like an intelligent man who knows what he's talking about. The American media and American voters completely destroyed my opinion of Bernie... I feel so bad for him.
Say what you will about Rogan, this is all encouraging stuff.
― pomenitul, Friday, 24 January 2020 14:30 (four years ago) link
Then go to a video of Rogan talking about trans women, and see how encouraging you think those comments are
― Frederik B, Friday, 24 January 2020 14:31 (four years ago) link
Hope it helps Bernie beat Biden, but Rogan clearly sucks
― Frederik B, Friday, 24 January 2020 14:32 (four years ago) link
we've been over this elsewhere but unfortunately Rogan is pretty much the only place you can go do to a long-form interview and discuss your ideas at length without interruption that gets a ton of receptive eyeballs.
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Friday, 24 January 2020 14:32 (four years ago) link
this is more an indictment of American media than it is a compliment towards Rogan
― bold caucasian eroticism (Simon H.), Friday, 24 January 2020 14:33 (four years ago) link
Say what you will about Rogan
ok: he sucks complete goddamn ass
― american bradass (BradNelson), Friday, 24 January 2020 14:33 (four years ago) link
Simon sadly otm.
― pomenitul, Friday, 24 January 2020 14:34 (four years ago) link
If Bernie is going to be president he is going to need lots of people far worse than Rogan to vote for him. If he's able to do that without changing his message thats great
We may have forgotten to note that the NYT sucks too, post their endorsement of Warren Klobuchar, although search is currently broken for me
― anvil, Friday, 24 January 2020 14:55 (four years ago) link
I find it hard to believe we could have gone a day without pointing out NYT sucks, but if true it's definitely an oversight.
― Frederik B, Friday, 24 January 2020 14:58 (four years ago) link
Yeah as a trans woman, reading the comments on the various Twitter threads just makes me super-excited to have Rogan's fans brought into the fold.
― Pete Swine Cave (Eliza D.), Friday, 24 January 2020 15:02 (four years ago) link
yeah yeah but remember! Separate fans from the candidate!

it's not like by voting for someone else these people will suddenly go away
even the worst people shoud be welcome in supporting the right candidate—not least because they're injuring their own cause
― Suggest Banshee (Hadrian VIII), Friday, 24 January 2020 15:07 (four years ago) link
"can you wipe the grime off of the ballot when they hand them in?" is kind of the eternal question of getting votes
― babu frik fan account (mh), Friday, 24 January 2020 15:08 (four years ago) link
FOr me this is no different than the "we have to go after rural diner NYT article voters." No thanks. Let's just get the nonvoters activated and stop vote suppression instead.
Alternatively, depending on numbers, they may be injuring MY cause.
― Pete Swine Cave (Eliza D.), Friday, 24 January 2020 15:09 (four years ago) link
only to the extent they influence the candidate
― Suggest Banshee (Hadrian VIII), Friday, 24 January 2020 15:09 (four years ago) link
The nonvoters aren't necessarily good people either, I'm afraid.
― pomenitul, Friday, 24 January 2020 15:10 (four years ago) link
true
getting bigots on board with Bernie—and inclined to defend him—is more likely to influence their thinking than his
― Suggest Banshee (Hadrian VIII), Friday, 24 January 2020 15:11 (four years ago) link
What a bizarre idea
― Frederik B, Friday, 24 January 2020 15:12 (four years ago) link

you think Bernie Sanders is going to start adopting the positions of Joe Rogan YT commenters?
― Suggest Banshee (Hadrian VIII), Friday, 24 January 2020 15:14 (four years ago) link
Otm. Can’t say I’m enthused about Rogan either - he’s way too much of an enthusiastic mainstreamer of extremists and is laundering a lot of malign ideas by hosting certain guests. But I guess Bernie isn’t fucking around and he’ll take the support where it comes from.
― steer karma (gyac), Friday, 24 January 2020 15:14 (four years ago) link
not too concerned about Roganheads influencing Bernie tbh. he never changes, remember?

― anvil, Friday, 24 January 2020 15:15 (four years ago) link
It's not really about 'adopting positions', it's about what policies to focus on and invest political capital in. Bernie can be the greatest person on earth, it's not a comforting idea that he'll rely on transphobes for reelection.
― Frederik B, Friday, 24 January 2020 15:16 (four years ago) link
If Warren wins, she will have relied on transphobes for re-election also
― anvil, Friday, 24 January 2020 15:17 (four years ago) link
I'm not going to apologize for not being thrilled about an influx of "no bIOlogiCAL MEn IN WOmen'S sPOrTS" chowderheads into the Bernie camp, sorry. Lie down with dogs etc.

With newfound respect for a political leader comes greater openness to their *other* ideas as well, be it only up to a point. I'm surprised this is controversial.
― pomenitul, Friday, 24 January 2020 15:18 (four years ago) link
It's admittedly not much but…
It's not 'controversial' as much as it seems completely wrong

Identifying with a particular group for reason x makes you more receptive to adjacent, initially less appealing reasons y and z.

i dont care if rogan likes bernie, i do care that bernie's camp promotes the endorsement as worthwhile
