There are tons of Joe Rogan viewers, they may not be as "woke" as we want, but their vote counts the same. And we want them to vote for us.

primary today, I would vote for:

from a white guy telling me about the guy at the gas station who's "normal" (which is?) and "not of any specific demographic" (that means he's white) to the faux apology for not driving a Tesla to the use of a proper term--"essentialism"--used in an improper way, it's a lecture from the converted to the converted.

Wow how coded must we make speech ? Lol. I'm a black Male and saw none of what you said there. Guess I'm not woke enough .. oh wait that was the point!? Not everyone is looking for the super subtext in everything and it sucks that our party is scared of mass appeal. A real big tent makes a nervous because we'll have disown every other person because of some "hot take" lol.
