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!

Everything, weed, psychedelics, hunting, wrestling. He's had Bernie Sanders on, Elon Musk smoked weed on his show etc.
And endorsed a fascist don't forget that.
And also Bernie Sanders
He's didnt endorse him til the last minute. In fact he refused to, to Trump's face multiple times.
Harris was given many opportunities to come on the show but refused to do so under the same conditions her opponent did. Her team wanted to change the circumstances of the show too much and wouldn't come to him. Trump completely disregarded a preexisting obligation to go on his show.
If it were my show, I know who I would like better, putting politics aside. I feel like the Rogan episodes I've seen haven't really shown him to be conservative, but he platforms alot of conservatives which can be construed with him being conservative himself.
I think it's funny that anyone who actually talks about the show like they've heard a bunch of episodes gets downvoted while people just saying he's bad get up voted. It's more Lemmy echo chamber, in action.
Can you explain this in more detail (or link something that talks about it)?

I also saw the clip on YouTube where he talked about it.
It's pretty broadly discussed online at this point. Pick your favorite search engine for additional articles on the matter.
Except he still endorsed him. The mental gymnastics you guys are pulling is seriously pathetic.
What gymnastics? What message do you believe is being conveyed here?
People aren't all black and white. The more people try to demonize these guys and their viewers, the more credence is given to them when they say their detractors are out of touch or lying. When we make obviously disprovable things up about the right wingers, it destroys all credibility. There's real shit going on, and we need to stick to that.
At this point, the race is over. We need to learn from our mistakes, not double down on failed messaging.
