    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.

          Who you’re voting for is a protected bit of information. Nobody can force you to say who you voted for legally.

          This was a move for $$$. morally that is fucked. Glad you’re here to sway opinions on the bald fuckwit.

          Can you imagine someone doing a (pretty fucking easy) job for something like 4 to 5 orders of magnitude more money then the average American, and then still making your politics about paying less taxes.

          They’re the worst people on the planet, and he’s particularly bad due to his massive platform and young fans.

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

      Spoiler candidates are mostly bad news for Democrats, but I can’t imagine many people who would be swayed by a Joe Rogan endorsement would have voted (D} anyway.

          Didn’t trump have a talk with brainworms like a month back? I vaguely remember that a poll showed rfk stealing more from Trump.

        That’s why this move is weird to me. I assume Rogan would want Trump to win much more than Harris, but endorsing RFK Jr does nothing but convince his listeners (who are largely Trump voters) to peel off from Trump. The conservative ploy with RFK is not going to work out how they want it to.

    I wonder if Joe’s use of deworming medication makes him feel like he and RFK Jr. are kindred numbnuts.

    Joe Rogan should spend more time riding on public transportation. He’d be sure to find other people who make sense to him. They’ll be the ones who are walking around talking loudly at other passengers.

      Last I checked, Joe loves eating tons of weird meat, hunting and cooking a bunch himself. I’m just saying, this may be the great brain worm uprising we were warned about.

      Jr: Talks about how he picked up a dead bear to “harvest” it, left it in the back of his car for presumably hours, then dumped it in Central Park as a “joke” when he had to go to the airport

      JoRo: That’s a man I can get behind

      How does anybody take either of these people remotely seriously?

        This is what all manly men do. (After overdosing on human growth hormones, testosterone, parasitic worms.) Hunt! Kill! Eat! Fuck (this bear, I’m tired, let’s put the rotting carcass in the park).

      This gives him too much credit.

      A barbarian khan would legitimately be trying to understand how the world works. Yes, sometimes he has a scientist on and he’s forced to learn things. But, other times he has a guest on so that that guest can promote their terrible worldview – see RFK Jr.

        Nah, Rogan can’t stop eating and RFK was eating roadkill to satiate his worm. The telepathic brainworms don’t eat the brains. They take them over. Stick their tendrils in deeply. Synaptic activity looks like a Christmas tree. Builds quite the appetite.

      Whoaaa whoa now, I like that game. Let’s not compare the two. The Mind Flayers at least LIKE brains instead of totally lacking them.

        What game, singular? You’re not saying you think that BG3 is the game to spawn illithid as a concept, right?

            Eh, y’all can suck on your own downvotes. 🤣 D&D is not a “game” in and of itself; though one could describe “playing a game of D&D”, that would be a fairly awkward/unusual way to phrase it. BG3 is, without question, the single most famous permutation of this IP (and the corollary “illithid”/“mind flayer”) to date. Thafuq else could you mean, son? 🤌🏽

      Millions of people, unfortunately.

      Joe Rogan Listeners is as much of a voter bloc as something like “Soccer moms” or something.

      Im not one of them, but incredibly it is probably about 5,000,000x more people than the ones that give a fuck what the average person on here thinks.

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

      Yes, but they are still rats.

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