Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

I know 0 Democrats that ever considered him, but I know plenty of right leaning Joe Rogan types that did / still are.

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 39 points 3 months ago

He was always going to appeal to the low info swing voters.

[–] jumjummy@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago (4 children)

Didn’t Joe Rogan endorse RFK?

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 34 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (3 children)

Yep. "He just makes sense to me" or something similar is what he said. Hilarious.

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 13 points 3 months ago

Joe Rogan is just one example why it is unwise to give idiots an audience no matter how much money it makes.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I like weed too, but I can't stand the "whoa dude, think about it" type stoners.

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm a little bit of that type of stoner, I just try not to be a cruel asshole who's wrong about everything all the time.

[–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But I'm guessing your high daydreams are somewhat grounded in reality, not conspiracy theories and misinformation. I do it too about future space travel, but I know FTL and matter teleportation is impossible.

I wish y'all and I could pass a bong and create a space opera on a sunny afternoon.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Was there a Fear Factor where you had to put your head in a box full of brain worms for like 60 seconds?

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

He did, and then walked it back after Trump got super pissy at him lol

[–] MagicShel@programming.dev 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I hadn't heard he walked it back. That's funny. That's what a Joe Rogan endorsement is worth. No surprise to me, but now it's on full display for everyone.

"Vote for this guy. It's taken a lot of time and deliberation to decide but he's definitely our... nope, wait..."

Time and deliberation? In the context of Joe Rogan?

lol. Lmao, even.

[–] jumjummy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Eh, not at all surprised. Just like that cry-baby murderer, little Kyle

[–] Angry_Autist@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

For now till the Hate Mill starts transvestigating him. He'll flip back crying like a bitch just like Kyle the Murderer.

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

He did, but then he took it back when MAGAts started turning on him for disloyalty to Trump.

[–] hoanbridgetroll@midwest.social 20 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

They exist; they may have been super holistic before COVID, and they just latched on to the anti-vaxx mindset but maybe can’t stomach MAGA.

I know one who is a retired doctor. He writes medical exceptions for anti-vaxx rich folks in the area and manically chewed my ear for 20 min about hydroxychloroquine and the rest before gushing about RFK.

I agree with you, though. RFK’s going to be pulling from Camp Weirdos a lot more than Camp Give Us Our Fucking Rights Back this election.

Sounds like the equivalent of a pill mill. Dude needs to lose his medical license yesterday.
