If the Rogan endorsement is so powerful why didn't it help Bernie in the primary at all, even in open primary states

Because the type of people that feel that way don’t care enough to vote in primaries, or in off-cycle elections. They’re not politically savvy which is why they aren’t ideological.

They turned out for Trump pretty well, and now you’ve helped to make sure they will again, so congrats I guess? I know enough of your politics to know that you like Bernie better than Biden on pure policy - what’s your goal here?

I’m not accusing you of doing this, but if you were AGGRESSIVELY trying to lose this election to Trump, this is exactly what you would be doing.

My goal is to stop disingenuous fucks from using Bernie as a wedge to get the voice of "anti-identity politics" reactionaries entry to left-wing spaces

That’s one of my favorite things about Bernie - he maintains a progressive pro-identity politics agenda and still gets those dopes to vote for him. He’s stronger on IDPol then Biden! Look at his support for gay marriage and popularity in the trans community.

If he still got people to vote for him, he'd have won the election

If all this stuff about "Bernie builds coalitions, Bernie attracts allies, Bernie wins elections" were true, then we wouldn't be having this conversation There'd be nothing to talk about, he'd have won

Hell, we wouldn't have had it back when the Rogan "endorsement" came out The campaign would've reacted the way Obama did in 08 to randos supporting "Joe Rogan supports us? Good for him, everyone does" Instead of jumping all over it in desperation

That's a great insight. Even if all Bernie's campaign did RE the Rogan mob was give them the same welcome & level of attention they gave everyone else, the effect was that the blowhards took up all the space. And that was knowable, predictable, especially this time.
