[SocialDemocrat61]

3. Rogan endorsed Trump

[LexVegas]

5. ...because Bernie wasn't on the ballot. nt

[awesomerwb1]

6. So you're saying Rogan is a "burn it all down"

Bernie bro?

Disgusting.

[LexVegas]

7. Don't know about that, but he loves Bernie...for whatever reason. nt

[SocialDemocrat61]

9. Are you saying Sanders and Trump

supporters are the same?

[LexVegas]

10. I'm saying that Rogan loves him some Bernie. nt

[SocialDemocrat61]

12. But also loved Trump

enough to endorse him

[LexVegas]

13. And endorsed Bernie in the 2020 primary...nt

[SocialDemocrat61]

14. Then endorsed Trump

in the 24 election 🙄

[LexVegas]

15. Correct. nt

[EllieBC]

17. Yeah because Rogan is a dickbag

Listen, plenty of the Bernie bros opted to sit out in 2016 or write in Bernie’s name or vote for Stein. They don’t learn a damn thing from that experience.

19. Only a small percentage of 2016 Sanders voters voted for Jill Stein

Some also voted for Gary Johnson but most of the percentage that didn't vote for Hillary Clinton in the general election actually voted for Trump.

In 2016 Sanders did well in the primary with self-described conservatives & moderates or Republicans & Independents that ended up voting for Trump.

About 74% of 2016 Sanders primary voters voted for Hillary Clinton in the general election and I was one of those people.

2. Why we never

pushed Bernie though to the presidency, is the question of the century. He is by far, one of the smartest around.

One of the the biggest things that stuck with me is what are we going to leave behind for our kids and grandkids.

Just look at how fucked up this country is now. We got here by stupidity, ignorance. I could say more, but it's pretty obvious.

4. Because he didn't get enough votes.

Instead of playing footsie with bros like Joe Rogan, he should have been ingratiating himself with -- among other core Democratic constituencies -- the black community instead of pointing to a decades old photo and using that as his civil rights credentials.

[AZProgressive]

8. He only went on 1 episode before this one

Not sure why he is doing it again but the analysts did say Democrats (I include Bernie in that) should do more podcasts.

He made efforts at winning in South Carolina they put a lot of resources into that and came in 2nd place with over 10 candidates running and there was nothing wrong with the photo or his civil rights record. There were a lot of people Bernie's age that probably took a different stance and that is one of the best things about Sanders is that he usually had the correct position no matter how far back you go.

11. Gee

20. You can't make up for years of not being there by doing an interview with an avid supporter.

Sanders will never win the Democratic nomination because he's been around long enough for vital parts of the Democratic electorate to know that he hasn't been around enough, if you catch my drift.

16. "I've said black 50 times. That's the 51st time."

[W_HAMILTON]

21. Holy shit -- that's an actual quote from him!

Not sure how I missed that, but, yeah, that exchange is exactly the attitude I was talking about.

[Uncle Joe]

18. Around the 36 minute mark Rogan presents a misleading Washington Post graph depicting how the Earth

has been cooling, but the graph starts at 485 millions years ago when virtually all life on Earth was aquatic.

The first modern humans didn't even come into existence until 300,000 years ago.

So humans didn't live in those conditions by a long shot and modern human society which only began with the Industrial Age only a little over 225 years ago even less so.

Thanks for the thread Donkees
