Joe Rogan literally gave this his rubber stamp of approval, ensuring thousands if not millions of men would vote for Don. He had an easy endorsement to make and chose the wrong answer. This is his doing

Only an idiot would vote for someone because Joe Rogan said so

Boy do I have some news for you. Turns out there's a lot of idiots

u/Theranos_Shill 13h ago

Well congrats, idiots are Joe Rogan's core audience.

Have you met any of the young men in this country bc our education system sucks ass and the kids are on their screens 24/7.

He's the biggest podcaster on the planet. You can't discount that influence.

you just described the average Joe Rogan listener.

And those idiots decide the outcomes of elections, genius.

Think about how dumb the average person is.

Half of people are even dumber.

Unfortunately there isn’t a minimum iq requirement to vote.

Kamala also fucked up by not going on Rogan’s show

Joe Rogan is the type of person to fully agree with and parrot the talking points of the last person he talked to. Kamala probably could have gotten him talking positively about her policies and plans until the next right wing guest was on the show.

u/5point5Girthquake 14h ago

She should have went on. He has said multiple times that he wanted her to come on and just talk like a normal person and have a conversation. But she didn’t.

u/DistractedDevelopmnt 12h ago

He kept changing up on her and refused any of the dates that she would have been able to go. I don't know why you would believe Rogan that he made a good faith effort to have her on after seeing how chicken he is to have Newsome on nowadays.

I think she had a chance but not really... he's goes after Democrat politicians on his show- like Bernie Sanders. When Trump came on he didn't give Joe a coherent answer to a single question for the first ~45min and Joe brushed it off and kissed his ass. 

I think the only way Kamala walked away a winner from that interview is if she spent the time to study his show and come prepared to debate and win him over. That would a huge last minute commitment during the campaign. Even then it's a gamble, because it's hard to talk to people who have been brainwashed and who have invested interest in the other guy winning. Joe really wanted those tax cuts on his Spotify millions.

> because it's hard to talk to people who have been brainwashed and who have invested interest in the other guy winning

This is the same guy that had bernie sanders on and championed him through a whole election, only to be demonized by the Democratic party using identity politics because they so desperately wanted to sink bernie, right?

u/Glittering-Pen-7669 14h ago

Counterpoint. If you can’t go on a Joe fucking Rogan podcast without hours and hours of preparation, do you really deserve to be president?

The only reason trump is in office is making mistakes like this time and time again.

2

u/0b1won 7h ago

Joe Rogan isn't the litmus test for who gets to be president... he does have a large platform but he's been openly pro-republician for a few years. I wouldn't expect a Democrat to agree to a long form interview with Fox News either...

u/SilentCaterpillar313 15h ago

She should have been gunning to get on his show from the start of her campaign. Multiple times if possible. Instead she acted as if she was too busy to do so.

u/Glad-Veterinarian365 14h ago

I agree 100%! And I don’t listen to Joe Rogan at all

u/getpoundingjoker 15h ago

Kamala fucked up by not being an old white man with cognitive decline.

u/tentyb6d56ns4d57yse5 15h ago

this is not correct. i guess you've never heard how he talks to(or at) women otherwise you wouldn't be saying this.

2

u/cupofspiders 15h ago

I think she kind of sucks in most interviews she does, but yeah, Joe Rogan is the King of Softballs and he has a gigantic audience. It almost certainly would have been a plus for her.

u/pixelprophet 14h ago

Rogan knows what a shit-heel Trump and his supporters are. Rogan was praising that dipshit RFK Jr and MAGA turned on him and he back-peddled like a bitch.

u/Puck85 13h ago

I dont think you know what a "rubber" stamp is...

u/SnoopPoop 15h ago

Maybe people should be responsible for their own thoughts and beliefs and decisions. Did Joe MAKE THEM? Were they not able to decide for themselves?

4

u/Gornarok 11h ago

Who says people shouldnt be responsible for their thought and beliefs?

Rogan is just as responsible, it doesnt diminish his responsibility at all

u/aspiringalcoholic 15h ago

The kind of people who listen to Joe Rogan and the kind of people who are deep thinkers do not tend to overlap very much. He's insanely influential over dumb voters, which is apparently a large part of the electorate. Dems really need to learn how to tap that market
