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!

Seriously on brand for Rogan!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

Can anyone explain what those endorsements are for? Is it literally just people that garner clout for a living saying "Hey I would vote for this one" or do they have actual consequences. If the former, why would anyone care?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

It is just a public statement of support. There are only consequences to the extent that people care about/respect the opinion and judgment of the person giving the endorsement.

In this case, it's valuable to RFK Jr in so far as individuals listening to Joe Rogan either think Joe has good insights into who should be president, or just want to be like him and will vote the way they think he will vote

Bizarre. I thought RFK Jr was being bank rolled by a repub to split the vote on the dem side. Last poll has him at 6% in Michigan. Remember, split votes gave MI to Trump in 2016, assuming the Stein and Harambe votes would’ve been Hillary instead.

RFK is a conspiracy nut too. Strange guy. I’ve never listened to Rogan. But if this splits the vote the other way, great.

To be fair, if my uncle and dad were murdered by the CIA I'd be a conspiracy nut too. Although Republicans will probably regret elevating him now, as he seems to be peeling more people off Trump than democrats.

Bear carcass dumping in Central Park to own the libs sealed it for Rogan.

MAGA: the only people who give a flying fuck who joe rogan's voting for

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

No, but don’t you understand that the media and elites are trying to control us and constantly interjecting their political opinion into everything. 😡

Even though the only party that has voted in Hollywood elites and the ultra wealthy is…. A mystery.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

But RFK (In that leaked phone call) said his plan was to drop put and endorse Trump right before the election.

"He's the only one who makes sense to me"

Ahahaha! Oh wait, you're serious, let me laugh even harder.

Rogan playing 4D hopscotch with this endorsement.

Or something, idk. What a fucking knuckle dragger.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Ohh no... anyway...

[–] [email protected] 317 points 5 months ago (4 children)

Joe Rogan finally has done something useful by pissing off stupid people.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I wonder what finally pushed him to do this. Was it leaving a bear cub in Central Park that clinched it?

To be fair, I’m sure a ton of stupid people were really happy about this as well.

[–] [email protected] 196 points 5 months ago (2 children)

– and splitting the vote. That’ll do.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

who paid him and how much to do it?

[–] [email protected] 76 points 5 months ago (5 children)

Does anyone really take Rogan seriously enough to follow his endorsement? Enough people to make a dent?

[–] [email protected] 58 points 5 months ago (1 children)

These are the people that are deeply concerned about the sexuality of M&Ms, they take every-fucking-thing seriously

Honestly, Joe Rogan can get people to believe some pretty weird stuff. For example, I believe the inside of his skull may just be packed with meat. Like, an actual pulsing node of meat. I know it sounds crazy, but if it were to be true for anyone it'd be him.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Joe Rogan P-zombie confirmed 😳

4.8M views on a video posted 9 days ago. So, yeah – probably.

[–] [email protected] 72 points 5 months ago (1 children)

At one point the dude had 90,000,000 listeners. That's about 1/3rd of the country.

Granted, they're not all US based.

[–] [email protected] 95 points 5 months ago (2 children)

not all carbon based either.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago (6 children)

Some of them are silicone based

I wanted to post this in [email protected] but that community appears to have been shut down a few months ago.

But anyway, I say good. Let them fight!

Maybe try [email protected]

It's been active in the last few weeks.

Shows as empty for me. Is that a federation issue?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

Probably if your instance just resolved it and didn't know of it before now. Give it a few to do the initial fetch and refresh.
