You shall know him from the company he keeps.
Bernie Sanders should disavow his endorsement, not promote it.

(20,709 posts)Joe has a huge audience of people that are all over the map politically, including non-voters, indies, everything. It's not like oh look I just got endorsed by the mayor of Whereverville.

(45,109 posts)to their party but a lot of people feel no loyalty to any party and will vote for whom they wish. It's been that way all my life since I started paying attention to politics. They don't have to be friends, all they have to do is vote for one, and many do. I'm not gonna knock them but I'm going to ask them to join me. My Republican son in law voted for Obama twice, voted for Trump in 2016.

(14,578 posts)The guy has encouraged Tulsi Gabbard to run. Why did he endorse Bernie? Was he trying to damage him? If so, why?
The real question, though, is why Bernie didn't reject the endorsement out of hand instead of touting it like they did. That's the big problem here. Because all it would take is, "Our campaign rejects the endorsement of comedian Joe Rogan because of Rogan's past stances on LBGTQ issues as well as his record as a birther during Obama's presidency." That's it.
But no, Bernie's campaign celebrated the endorsement.

(1,713 posts)He isn't political. He made a comment during an interview and now the uninformed political Twitter world goes nuts. Joe dosent care what the GOP or Democrats think. That's the funny thing about this made up scandal of sorts.

(68,595 posts)People evolve. This is 8 fucking years old. I am more concerned with Rogan and what he is spewing now and that Sanders celebrated an endorsement from him. You disgust me.

(1,026 posts)We were talking about this. A few of us are black, one of us is Trans. We talked about how Bernie was so excited to tout this endorsement that he did so before it was set in stone. Bernie was excited about the endorsement of a man who has spewed hate against us. All of us had planned on voting for Bernie but after much discussion and thought we are back to undecided. Did he not think about how his black or Trans supporters would feel? Did he not care? Either way, it was clear to us that he rather have them than us.

(146,317 posts)Either it was not considered or someone didn't really care. I don't know which, but the result is the same.

(146,317 posts)I think the Sanders campaign miscalculated by jumping on Rogan's bandwagon with a video ad. Not enough thought was given.
I think this will hurt Sanders. Not much, perhaps, but he has either no margin or a negative margin for error.

(146,317 posts)They may have jumped on this Rogan thing without due consideration. Many staffers aren't even democrats, and may not fully realize the situation.
Bernie has been busy with the trial. I'm not sure, though, that he would have recognized the risk anyhow.
