    He is Bernie Sanders guy, there’s no Trump endorsement coming. If anyone, it would be Kennedy he would endorse I think, but I don’t remember him ever endorsing anyone at all. Not sure why you’re so pissed at the guy when you kinda seem to have no idea the type of candidates the guy is into. Ya he has some fucking way out there views and ideas for a guy with such a huge platform, but if you’re paying attention at all he is way more on the Sanders end of the scale. He brings people like Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, and Kennedy on. And I’m pretty certain he’s said he’d never host Biden or Trump on the show, I think he like a lot of us, fuck both these two guys, give us someone worth voting for…

        Ya… Where’s the trump endorsement in your link? There’s not one. There’s nothing in that that contradicts what I said.

          Nowhere? Because he hasn’t endorsed him yet? Hence what I said and you replied to?

          Explain to me how someone who is in favor of less regulations and who praises Trump would be a “Bernie Sanders guy?” Because he said he would vote for Bernie Sanders in 2015? Big fucking deal.

          He praised Trump.

          He wants less regulations.

          He also moved to Texas so he could pay fewer taxes.

          He’s a Republican. Clearly.

          By the way, did you even read the article?

          When the episode’s guest Patrick Bet-David asked Rogan whether Trump would get his vote, Rogan replied, “He’d get my vote before Biden.”

            There’s still no endorsement in that. Ya I did read the article. Have you ever watched any of the interviews with any of the people I mentioned? Probably not. And your quote misses the nuance of course… It’s possible he votes third party. 🤷🏻‍♂️ But whatever. Who cares. Rogan, Trump, Sanders, Biden, none of this matters. Rogan is a podcast, it’s entertainment, he’s not what’s causing this world to be shit. He isn’t what causes us to have terrible choices for president. Guy is just talking to people. Just move on if you don’t like what he says, lots of people to listen to. I have actually listened to his show, I’m not just parroting what someone wrote in yahoo knows who might not have actually watched much of him, who might also have a negative bias towards him, but whatever. Nuance. There’s none.

              Again- I know there is no endorsement in the article because, again, he hasn’t endorsed him yet.

              I mean did you even know what you were replying to when you replied to me or do you not understand the differences between past, present or future?

              Which came last, when he praised Bernie Sanders in 2015 or when he praised Trump in 2023?

              Because I’m pretty sure the order in which those two things happen might give an indication on who he’s going to vote for in 2024 and tell people about as well.

              That and the quote I pasted where he literally says he’d vote for Trump and praised Trump getting rid of regulations.

              Getting rid of regulations- sounds totally like something Bernie Sanders, the democratic socialist, would be in favor of. Right?

              Is it that you guys (and Rogan) don’t actually know what Bernie believes in?

                This does seem to be the case. It boggled my mind seeing people on reddit who proclaimed to support Sanders and then switched to supporting Trump when Sanders failed to win the primary.

                I think there are a lot of people who are information illiterate and base their support of a candidate on some vague and irrational misconceptions they conjure out of the aether.
