Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

“…Only one that makes sense to me” … I mean you are Joe Rogan… that’s not saying much lmao.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I would say that Rogan's response makes sense, but I mean... When you add up that much stupid and crazy I'm pretty sure the universe poops itself because it's like trying to divide by zero.

This is actually a huge deal, enough Republicans listen to him he can probably move the vote almost a whole percentage point

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

Yes. A whole percentage point might be 20 to 30 Electoral College votes in this close election.

The rats are leaving the sinking ship.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but they are still rats.

We would be smart to remember who these people are moving forward.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

They will hopefully drown in the ocean.

He's straight up just a contrarian at this point. He wants to be "different," by not choosing one of the "mainstream" candidates.

It's also probably a calculated move, financially, as he doesn't want to alienate the people who make up half his audience by endorsing Kamala or Trump. Probably more than half if he endorsed the former.

Typical bourgeois attitude, putting your own financial needs (that are already met 1,000x over) above literally the survival of the Republic.

They're not even nihilists, because they worship at the alter of capital.

It's gross.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's all about money for him.

Brain worms and bear cruelty are hot button issues for Joe Rogan, apparently. Is anyone really surprised the nutjob would pick the nutjob candidate?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wait you're telling Mr there's only one nut job candidate?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

Yeah, the other is just a nut, doesn't understand the job part

Joe Rogan is the dumb man’s smart man, so of course he endorses RFK Jr.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well yes but that’s because Rogan is a fucking moron

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (3 children)

No he's not, he's a calculating right-wing propaganda machine.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

In 2024 it is very possible to be both

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

No, he's a idiot, followed by even bigger idiots

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not about Joe just about a better podcast than his: Behind the bastards has a several episode series on RFK Jr and the things he did.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Last Week Tonight also has a longish segment about him.

And I think both of them were produced before the rotting bear meat admission to Rosanne Barr.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 3 months ago

Worms of a brain and all that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

no surprise here.
