Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Is the article supposed to make Harris's team look good or bad? They didn't want to appear desperate so they tried to make him fly out, were told no, tried to change the time format, were told no, went to Texas and told Rogan they could meet last minute, were given an alternate time and declined (because they didn't want to seem desperate) left Texas, and then invited to fly Rogan out (again) and were told no.
Blaming Trump, Musk and Dana White here is like...
Sounds like Rogan was jerking them around as well:
"“We could do Friday, the 25th,” Harris’ deputy campaign manager Rob Flaherty reportedly told Rogan’s associates on October 18.
“Wish we had known about this sooner, because he has the 25th blocked out as a personal day,” a Rogan rep allegedly responded.
“What about Saturday morning?” Flaherty countered, according to the book.
A terse response allegedly followed: “Only if it’s before 8:30 a.m.”
Flaherty noticed the tone from Rogan’s camp was now “different.” The same people who had previously seemed open to a Rogan-Harris interview, as long as there were no topic restrictions, were now less eager."
That's not how you negotiate an imterview with the sitting Vice President and candidate for President.
Can't forget that they sent John Fetterman instead of Tim Walz or literally anyone more likeable to do Rogan.
But we can't ask what the democrats did wrong, then they might have to do something other than move to the right every election and complain that rightwing policy and messaging is unpopular.
Didn't Kamala's team also want to edit the interview? Whereas Rogan does a long form, stream of conciousness type of inteview, so he told the Harris team 'No' to editing.
Initially they wanted the moon and Rogan said no to all of it. They wanted to do it like a news interview, seemingly not understanding how a podcast works.
His offer was come to his studio, don't cram the room with her team, and accept her performance as it happened with no editing.
Then you have JD and Trump, who he only had to add them to his schedule.
