Please...a gentle reminder about Joe Rogan:

Unless you have been a victim of any type of bullying (including the aggressive/violent bullying I experienced thru most of my childhood), everyone really needs to stop justifying Joe Rogan.

C'mon...opinions are fine, but justification/tit-for-tat is not, and everyone on this site knows the difference between right and wrong. No matter what any candidates or their surrogates tell us.

Rogan has always seemed to be fairly reasonable, but I don't have access to all data sources (or am not familiar with them).

I live in The Netherlands.

My conclusion that he was somewhat "reasonable" has just died a short but painful death.

Thank you.

I think they are recognizing that he appeals to a specific group that can bring in more votes for one of our candidates. That is not the same thing. He is still trash.

“Given Rogan’s comments, it is disappointing that the Sanders campaign has accepted and promoted the endorsement,” David added. “The Sanders campaign must reconsider this endorsement and the decision to publicize the views of someone who has consistently attacked and dehumanized marginalized people.”
