Source? I completely missed that part. I just remember Trump’s bullshit anti-vaccine comments

Fuck this dude one way or the other
Can anyone explain what those endorsements are for? Is it literally just people that garner clout for a living saying "Hey I would vote for this one" or do they have actual consequences. If the former, why would anyone care?
It is just a public statement of support. There are only consequences to the extent that people care about/respect the opinion and judgment of the person giving the endorsement.
In this case, it's valuable to RFK Jr in so far as individuals listening to Joe Rogan either think Joe has good insights into who should be president, or just want to be like him and will vote the way they think he will vote
People listen to other people's opinions. You don't care about joe rogans opinion, so his endorsement means nothing. Other people do listen to him and will take his endorsement into consideration. "I agree with what Rogan says alot, he's probably more well informed than me, so if he says someone is worth the vote, well then I don't have to think about it myself and can trust him"
It's newsworthy when a public figure throws their endorsement around, you just don't care about the news
Brain worms voting for brain worms
Ohh no... anyway...
When Tim Pool endorses your decision, you know it is a bad one.
Tim Poole is the dumbest person with a platform. This is not hyperbole. I didn't forget about anyone else that may be mentioned, Tim is dumber.

So his entire audience?
Nah some of them are enlightened centrists who buy into his slightly right-leaning all sides schtick.
:hurr durring intensifies:
Do me this experiment please 🙏🥺. Go to YouTube and every time you see "Joe Rogan" anything, just go to down vote and unsubscribe...oh wait I meant, not interested.
You will find that you can't remove Joe Rogan from your feed. It's just going to come in the form of another video.
I have not seen anything about Joe Rogan on my Youtube in well over a year. and I am literally on youtube for most of everyday.
I listen to a lot of comedy podcasts on Spotify. Haven't listened to Rogan in years. I literally only tune in if it's a guest I really want to hear and can get over Rogan being there for 2-3 hours. Still, if I put on a podcast before bed and fall asleep to it, so many times it autoplays Rogan after I fall asleep. Like 90+% of the time. I legit think the algorithm pushes him at that hour to pump his numbers up, but hey, maybe I'm being a roganesque conspiracy nut.

Transvestigated in 5, 4, 3, 2...
Wow, I was wrong. RFK, Jr can split the MAGA vote! President Harris should give him and Rogan a medal...
Like Rittenhouse, he abandons Trump and then after all the death threats and boycotts he scrambles to go back to him.
