Firstly, it's rifuckingdiculous that people are pointing to the racist transphobe vote as apparently the key to victory against Trump.

It's as big brain intellectual as Rogan and his guests so I guess that's fitting.

And secondly, why would you want to win based on a coalition with human excrement.

Rogan/Bernie thread is full of bans for "dismissing bigotry" but I think this one is my favorite ban:

User banned (2 weeks): Dismissive drive-by in a sensitive thread

Joe is left leaning and acknowledges man made climate change. I would bet there is more overlap between the Joe Rogan Podcast fans and Bernie supporters than most here would think. It seems odd to me that so many here think Joe is some Trump supporting conservative. I admit, I only listen to the episodes with guests I want to hear from, but I can’t recall Joe saying a positive thing about Trump. If anything he seems blown away by the fact that Trumps incoherent babbling gets people excited.

imagine the sheer paranoia required to see anything fundamentally wrong with that post

Who the fuck is dying under Bernie's hypothetical presidency?

Rogan's bigotry normalizes misinformation and gives talking points to bigots. It's not Sanders presidency that's the problem here, and no one said it was, but if you think that signal boosting a bigot doesn't make things dangerous for marginalized people then you just haven't been paying attention. When trans people in this thread are telling you Rogan's rhetoric is toxic, believe it:

I just took a peak at that subreddit and I saw people talking about the trans movement is full of pedophiles and that "hormone blockers" are just code for wanting to groom them. So, kindly fuck off with this idea that votes are the ONLY thing that matter.

Jesus dude. Even if this benefits you you surely can't like or defend it so there's no need to cosset it. It's gross but unlikely to have meaningful numbers so it's OK to just admit it's gross. If Bernie wins the primary and THEN that's their strategy? I'll do victory laps with you and laugh at their strategy. Right now it's tactical and dangerous for Bernie's nomination and the country. You want Bernie primary voters to get uncomfortable that they're being played it do you want them to work their asses off to get him elected?

[benjipwns]

And I am arguing that prioritizing disaffected casual bigots is a net loss in voters compared to disconnected marginal Dems and untapped communities of color.

Take Texas as an example, it's not a Red State, it's a non-voting state with a huge young, Latinx population that just doesn't show up even though they are more predisposed to robust safety nets and Social Justice. Where is the solidarity going to come from when Bernie has to walk on egg shells the next time Rogan or any number of the other political dingleberries littering Bernie's floor decides to let their freak flag fly.

Who is advocating for the prioritization of bigots? The Bernie Sanders campaign, who is supported by a majority of women and people of color?

And just who are these bigots? JRE is ranked 1st or 2nd any given day on podcast charts. It gets 200 million downloads every month. You couldn't prove a majority of these people are racists and transphobes even if you tried.

I just provided you an alternative to laughing at Rogan's bigoted schtick, but you decided to defend the honor of those slighted 200 million downloads. Curious

More to the point, why are we betting on the political discernment of folks who enjoy slack-jawed shock jocks?

[benjipwns]

It's becoming a useful wedge issue to use in some places. Idaho's legislature is looking to pass a bill outlawing birth males participating in female high school sports for example. In certain cities you have the opposite kind of purity tests.

It has more to do with being directly associated with Identity Politics than Trans issues being a big deal by itself. Part of the reason why RE hates Bernie is that he is not exactly fan of identity politics and is more concerned about class and distribution of wealth.

Is more complicated than that, obviously, but there is a reason why many of the biggest shitposters on RE hate Bernie and his followers.

User Banned (permanent): dismissing bigotry, history of similar behavior

If Joe Rogan’s massive normie fanbase got behind Medicare For All that’d be pretty cool.

Here's the problem, you could probably get a lot of them on board, which means hundreds of thousands if not millions more people supporting MFA. But there are still plenty of purists that would rather dismiss Rogan and all his fans as bigots. And this purity bullshit is a big reason why we have a hard time in elections. I get it, we all need to be much more woke and PC but lets focus on teaming up to get that fat orange blob out of office first, then we can work on the other stuff.

I enjoy a good chunk of their content, I do wish they would replace Rich, he just doesn't really bring anything interesting to the conversations.

The problematic language OP outlined I interpret as just satirical or played out jokes for the purpose of being satirical and played out. I highly doubt they are trying to push a bigoted agenda, and if people are being radicalized or their racist/sexist beliefs are strengthened because of a 6 second joke in a 15 minute video then I'm not going to blame the creator of that video.

And for every problematic quip they have entire discussions gushing about movies like Us, Get Out, or specific actresses; Jay says Daisy Ridley carried TFA because she was so charismatic, and both of them liked Daphne Keen in Logan.

Righteous anger is more blinding than regular anger. Your methods hold no weight and exist only for catharsis, hurting people in the process. I'm sure there's more reason behind this thread than getting off on shaming people right?

I mean it exposes that people are more apt to be mad at me than Trump exposing that even blue states are fucked under him.

But please spare me that I am hurting people. You know what actually is going to hurt people, RBG dying with Trump as President, women's rights being curtailed, queer rights being curtailed, but hey vote your conscience right?

how far back is this adam387 meltdown, poliera is so draining to even skim through

edit:

To me it’s based on my religious beliefs. I’m not a forced birther or any of that shit. I think there’s no objective truth on abortion or the idea of where life begins. Therefore, I have my beliefs but they are no more valid than anyone else’s. Therefore I would never legislate based off of my belief system. It’s just my opinion and deserves no more weight than anyone else’s. Except that I am always right about everything and I have never been wrong. Ever.

So, just so I'm clear on this:

We're going to spend $30 trillion on M4A that will uproot and destroy a vast section of the US Economy.
We're going to spend $16 trillion on Bernie's version of a Green New Deal, that requires more workers that actually exist.
We're going to forgive $1.6 trillion in student loan debt.
We're going to spend $2.2 trillion on "free" college that has zero cost controls.
oh, and doesn't Bernie want to forgive all medical debt too? No idea how that would work just from a HIPPA perspective let alone financial one.

And this is considered a winning General Election strategy?

Like, here's the thing. Nominate Bernie. I literally don't care. I pretty much hate Bernie and Biden, and one of them is going to be the nominee. They're both terrible in different ways. Klob is horrible. Pete is horrible. Everyone is horrible. Warren is fine, but she's clearly not winning because America is full of sexist fuckwits. But like, you cannot legitimately believe these items are going to pass with 51 votes (assuming we win the senate.) Mathematically it's absurd. From an electoral strategy, it's absurd. It's fine to want nice things, and I do not believe that we need to run the government like a business, but to pretend 1/10th of this is actually doable...it's just not.

But, specifically as it relates to student loan debt and free college....forgiving loan debt is whatever. I'm not opposed to it. if you can make the math work and get the votes, then it's totally good. I do think something should be done for folks who did pay off their loans though, be it a refundable tax credit or what have you. (I'm still paying off mine for what it's worth, and would get very little relief under Warrens plan which I at least think makes more sense than Bernie's).

The bigger issue I have is with the whole free college thing. The problem with higher education costs is not solved by making it "free," it's just pushing the burden of funding directly on the federal government. While that's fine, it's not actually getting to the root of the problem. The biggest issue with Bernie's plan (and Warren's too I believe) is there is very little if any cost control measures in the bill. State colleges set their tuition rates through different systems, all of which are dependent upon the legislature in question. Some states have an independent board, some of them have it set through the legislature, some have multicampus boards, etc. If we are literally just going to write a blank check to the state of Ohio to set its tuition rates at whatever it damn well pleases, and we're just going to pay it, there is no incentive for us to keep our tuition lower than another states. In fact, we should just raise it to whatever the most expensive school is charging, because the government is just going to pay it anyway. For this idea to work, you absolutely have to have cost control measures. You honestly probably need some kind of penalty assessed against students who fail to complete their degree within a certain time frame or fail to complete a set number of classes too. It's not unreasonable to require that everyone have some skin in the game.

But the solution to stuff costing too much is not just "Make it free." It's A solution. It's not a good solution.

Correct, because a Bernie presidency, legislatively, will look just like a Biden presidency, which will look just like a Warren presidency, which will look just like a Klob presidency without us having to hide the bodies of everyone she murders. I'm sure Hillary could let her know who she uses to hide the bodies though.

What I will say though, is I think it does look different on the campaign trail. If you're going to campaign on things that will require fairly large tax increases, that's going to be a big yikes from a lot of folks.

This is a bad argument because we actually have cost controls when it comes to public schools.

All I am saying is that if we are going to have "free" college*, you absolutely have to pair that with extensive cost controls.

*(We're not going to have free college.)

So, no, fuck this guy. Fuck Bernie for going on his show (or any other Democrat who ends up there). This guy is shit, and we do not need to defend every stupid ass decision Bernie and his team make. Because this hsit is trash. And I don't give a shit if it moves the needle in the primary one way or another. it's still wrong.

Here are the two things about the Rogan whatever.

First, going on the show is stupid enough. We talked about this last week. it doesn't matter that Bernie wasn't pushing shitty sexist, transphobic or racist ideas on the show. The problem is, if you're a young 18 year old kid who likes Bernie, you check out the show because your dude is on there. You like the content because, hey, it's Bernie. You like him. And, since Bernie went on the show...Bernie clearly also likes him. So, you start checking out more shows. Oh, hey Alex Jones? I think I know who he is. Oh, they don't like trans people? Hmmm...maybe they have a point....and now we've got a kid walking down the path to being a piece of shit because kids are morons and associate Bernie with this asswipe. This is how people literally become radicalized and fall into the alt-right, shit stain camp.

Furthermore, going on the show was one level of stupid, accepting an endorsement and running a Twitter ad on it is a WHOLE other level of stupid. Will anyone in the primary hit him on this? No. Of course not. I don't know if Joe Biden knows what a podcast is. But, if Bernie somehow gets to the General election and ends up doing an interview with someone who isn't super friendly to him (and believe me, most won't be with his history). The first time Bernie goes out and says Trump associates with racists and sexists and transphobes, you better believe some intern will have been sitting on this "Then why did you tout the endorsement of a sexist, homophobic, racist, transphobe?" And then Bernie has to explain. When you are explaining, you are not wining. In no universe should an endorsement have the potential to cause you a problem. This does. So don't do it. You gain nothing.

I’m gonna say my piece on this Rogan thing one last time.
A lot of us point out how one of our concerns about Bernie is how we don’t trust him to prioritize our issues in the face of his worship at the alter of the white working class bro’s. When we bring up that point, we are constantly told that Bernie wouldn’t do that. That he’s a great ally on LGBT issues. That he’s a string supporter of women’s rights and he’d never ever sacrifice those to benefit his policy positions.

But then he does shit like this. The minute he can tout an endorsement from someone he thinks will help him with his glorious class over everything else revolution, he shows us that he’ll accept the support of someone who has no qualms with transphobia or racism if it helps that glorious revolution.

And when some of us point it out a lot of his supporters refuse to acknowledge our concerns and keep telling us to give him the benefit of the doubt. He had done nothing to earn that and everything to continue to get side eye. Don’t just listen to queer and minority voices when you like what we say about your boy. Listen when we complain too. Especially when we complain. Because telling us we shouldn’t have a problem with something we clearly do have issue with is real shitty. It shows us all we need to know about how valuable we supposedly are to this coalition.

Yet seems completely lost on the collective that is REE.

[benjipwns]

I'll just add again that this was an unforced error. Rogan made the endorsement, Sanders could have let it be. Rogan would have spread it among his fans himself. But Sanders chose to put the concerns of those affected by Rogan's bigotry aside to capitalize on the endorsement. He didn't need to do it.
