My local state representative, a pretty progressive Dem, won again in Missouri. Did not expect that.

 

Pitched my "leftist invasion of the Green party" concept to some socialist zoomers. They are very into it.

"you lowkey maybe cooking with that"

 

Presenting trump as an affable funny guy should be punishable by death that includes Jimmy Fallon

 

nvm didn’t realize the answer was so republican

 

Agreed. And Vance going on Tim Dillon’s pod, but that may be just preaching to the racist, transphobic choir.

 

The amount of times I've heard "Now I can afford groceries" in the office today...

 

There will be elections in 2028, but the suppression is going to be so much worse than it is now. Hopefully his unpopularity will help overwhelm all of it.

 

Had 9th grade boys doing their trump impressions to each other this morning as the bell rang. Great stuff.

 

We’re in a new cycle of one term party rule and the cycle will continue where the GOP claims fraud and makes a huge thing with every loss

 

They could hear from her and then the next episode Rogan will just talk about how awful she was and that’ll be the end of it. You were never going to reach that person really.

 

I self identified as a conservative in high school and look at me now. How do you reach these kids

 

This mentality is why they lost but we can agree to disagree. Voters aren’t reachable if you don’t reach them. Its the biggest podcast in the world

 

And if the entire Kamala playbook was courting conservatives disaffected by trump I fail to see how Rogan isn’t part of that strategy

 

here in houston, props to fund improvements in infrastrcture and technology in schools was turned down 60/40, solidifying the dumbening of the next gen for the near future.

 

gonna be real dumb when nothing fundamentally changes about the current state of economy but both the media and republicans suddenly start acting like its great

 

I'm kind of split on the Rogan thing - it's abundantly clear that something has to be done to reach younger audiences and dumb podcast bros, but he did end up endorsing Trump. If I'm an avid Rogan listener, do I vote for Harris because she comes on the show or do I vote with who Rogan actually endorsed? I dunno.

 

Hey at least that shitty amendment that would have made schoolboards in Florida partisan failed.

 

Yeah, i think Obama - Trump - Biden - Trump is just an example of Americans hating the status quo and going with whoever is the one telling them “hey yeah i agree shit sucks.”

 

Does Rogan fully endorse trump if Kamala shows up? I’m not convinced. Her bailing made him endorse trump. Possibly.

 

Iirc didn’t he endorse Bernie in 2020? My feeling is he like his audience can be convinced of a lot of different things via being a dumb bro.

 

Also that FL amendment that would have repealed Florida's public financing for state level political campaigns also failed.

 

Was Harris up in the Call Her Daddy demo? Did she do any other big podcast interviews?

I don’t think it would have made a difference but she should have done Rogan and/or Theo after Trump did. I feel like podcast ads work, and politicians on this big pods are just one big ad especially if podcasts demographic is people who usually don’t vote.

 

Her bailing is not why he endorsed Trump. Come on now, that was baked and done for years, COVID broke his brain and it has been downhill since then. He is fucking best friends with Musk and my assumption is that his Twitter algorithm has been customized to feed him right wing reactionary bullshit.

 

Because the milk will give us all cancer
