Joe Rogan Says He's Voting for Bernie



Jan 23, 2020

“He’s been insanely consistent his entire life. He’s basically been saying the same thing, been for the same thing his whole life. And that in and of itself is a very powerful structure to operate from.”

Joe Rogan has a huge conservative/ libertarian following.

They also lean left on social issues. And voted for Trump.

help me understand this, you can still be a Republican and lean left on social issues. I never understood how that works.

That a vote is a vote.

Trump did get some votes from those that formerly voted for Obama. I'm sure his campaign team was not fretting about those votes and who cast them. If those voters were dumb enough to believe theirs and Putin's trolls, and their own fake scandals against Hilary, then its all good.

Why do Democrats care if we snare new voters to ensure a Democratic win, not only the Presidency, but probably the House again too, and maybe the Senate, because of straight line voting, even if some of them are confused ex-Trump supporters?

ie...if they dragged themselves to the voting station, and waited in line to vote for Sanders, they might as well give him enough Democrats to get done what he is promising.

There just seems to be a disconnect there.

This is yuuuuuuuuuuge!

I also don't get why many Democrats don't want new voters, or Independents, or young people to help elect a Democrat.....if they follow a once in awhile unPC comedian and actor like Rogan because......he prefers the candidate they are not supporting.

Yang got Chappelle's endorsement and he's been blaming the victim ever since #MeToo but I didn't say one word about taking back his endorsement because I don't blame candidates for their supporters.

Trump is a different story as he actively encourages his worst followers while Sanders is made to apologize for so many different people.

Sanders supporters have to work double hard to fend off the slings and arrows because they are coming from every direction.
