Guys, at this rate I don’t think the revolution’s going to happen anytime soon.
We doing revisionist history now? Joe endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2020. He was a self described Democrat for the majority of his life.
But because he invited guests from both sides of the isle onto his podcast the left decided he was a problem. God forbid anyone want to even hear what the other side is thinking once in their lives. The left abandoned Joe and guess who was there to snap him up when they did that? The alt right dumbasses. So now we have Joe endorsing Trump this time around.
The left is not tolerant of any amount of different thinking among their ranks. You gotta agree on everything or you need to leave. You can see it situations like Joe or even smaller situations like myself and many others who spent their entire lives being Democrats only to be shown the door when we disagreed on one or two things.
Whether or not you believe that’s what’s going on I can tell with absolute certainty it is. The 2024 election results fall more on the shoulders of the Democratic party messing everything up than Trump or the Republicans doing anything particularly right.
Y’all need to stop thinking in such black and white terms when it comes to people. Someone can be all for universal healthcare, but also want their own gun to defend themselves. Some of the more moderate left can understand that, but the grand majority will view that kind of person as a full on righty so they push them away. And guess what happens when they do that? You lose elections because you’re so up your own ass about things that you lose people who were on your side.
Joe endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2020
Like how he endorsed RFK in 2024? but sure bro he was totally a leftist.
I don’t know if you’re being intentionally dense or if you just never watched his podcast before 2020 in your life.
Joe was constantly disagreeing with right leaning people for years on his podcast before his eventual flip in ~2021.

Watch that man talking to Bernie and you tell me what you see. He holds many opinions they are firmly democratic at that time.
…be shown the door when we disagreed on one or two things.
Did your girlfriend break up with you over that tiny little issue of believing she deserves bodily autonomy?
Go ahead, tell us the tragic story of how the Democrats forced you to change sides not because of the issues that haven’t changed, but because your feelings got hurt.
See you’re proving my point for me right now. You don’t even know me or any of my stances yet you assume because I have said I don’t agree with all the ideas on the left that I must be a Trumpy.
I am staunchly pro-choice. I’ve never been broken up with because of my political beliefs.
You seriously need to take a step back and reevaluate how you interact with people.
No, I did not assume. I read the part where you said you spent your entire life as a Democrat. That’s the past tense which means you no longer are.
Nobody kicked you out. You got upset when somebody pushed back. Just like now.
What opinion of yours got challenged enough that you left? Let’s hear it so we know if it’s bad enough to deserve whatever you got or you were unjustly maligned.
From “leftist” to democrat real quick there mate.
And yes, platforming people who think trans don’t deserve rights is harmful and the left rightfully should criticise it
I don’t understand this recent claim that the left and Democrats aren’t the same thing.
Progressives, secularists and liberals have always been lumped into “left” and those people overwhelmingly overlap with what the Democrats claim to be all about.
The term “left” and “Democrat” are basically interchangeable for the most part.
Kinda like how Conservative/Republican/right have been pretty much interchangeable for a long time now.
As far as I can tell the only difference is the right doesn’t seem to care as much about labels and the left gets super upset when they aren’t labeled exactly right at all times.
I’m a communist and not from the US, saying that the democrats are at the left is laughable
The term “left” and “Democrat” are basically interchangeable for the most part.
Only if you’re dumb and American. Democrats are right wing. Exclusively.
Rogan has a huge platform that reaches a lot of people and, in my opinion, along with that platform comes a responsibility to be careful about the voices and ideas he allows to be amplified on his show. There are already plenty of sources out there for people who want to check in on what the right is thinking. Rogan didn’t need to be one of them. He rightly faced criticism. If his political stances weren’t solid enough to survive the criticism, then I wonder how strong his convictions were to begin with.
Do you people even hear yourselves?
It’s HIS podcast. If he wanted to spend 7 hours s day talking about chimps that’s HIS choice. Hell he used to do that sometimes lol.
He originally had people on from all over the political spectrum and every time he dared to have someone the left identified as “problematic” he was torn apart for doing so. Then people from the left stopped wanting to be on the show for fear they were also going to receive backlash for going on it. Look at Bernie. That guy bleeds blue and when he went on he was also shunned for daring to spend a few hours talking to a guy who might not agree with the mainstream left ideals completely.
You created a self fulfilling prophecy. He had red and blue on. You yelled at him for having red people on so less and less blue people wanted to go on the show. Now he’s having more and more red people on the show. Now he’s a full on Trumpy.
People like you turned him away from being a blue moderate and now we have red conspiracy theory Trump Joe.
You go back and watch his earlier episodes when he’s talking to anyone even sorta red and he disagrees with them on practically everything. Joe was what Democrats used to be. They leaned left on most things but they were open to talking to people across the isle. They kept an open mind. Now there is zero nuance allowed. You agree with the left on all stances or you are dead to them. You guys are so stuck in your way of thinking (and thinking you are objectively right about everything) that you can’t even see how you clearly created the situation that resulted in Trump winning in 2024 again. The moderates and the right both told you this was going to happen but you are either too prideful or egotistical to listen to anyone who doesn’t agree with you implicitly.
You’ll find that most people don’t have strong convictions in their politics. People here were incredulous that undecided voters could exist even on election day, but it turns out to be more common than what someone who spends so much time discussing politics online would think.
