Jesus Christ this is completely backwards Rogan didn't even actually endorse Bernie, he just said he'd "probably" vote for him Nobody would've cared or really noticed if the campaign hadn't actively PROMOTED that quote as an "endorsement" https://t.co/pXn5vviL1W

It was deeply embarrassing for the campaign to do so Thirsting for Joe Rogan's "endorsement" is a bad look Rogan HIMSELF disclaimed any endorsement, doing a followup statement on his show that no one should listen to him about politics because he's ignorant about it

Jfc even leaving aside everything else about Rogan how good does that endorsement look on paper "This guy said he might vote for us and then clarified he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to politics and also doesn't really care that much"

It's not that I think the Sanders campaign has a duty to performatively "distance" themselves from every shithead who likes them It's that I expect better of them than getting all giddy about this stupid nothing "endorsement" from a HUGE shithead like they just got asked to prom

Tbh I'd settle with them staffing people who know things, instead of varying degrees of the same online dude who only speaks in distant "sarcastic" snark. At this point, I'd prefer if no member of his staff knew what Reddit or Call of Duty are.

Yeah okay this is my thing Maybe I fit the stereotype of an Extremely Online Warren Supporter or whatever But no way in a million years would Warren actually hire me or someone like me to officially represent the campaign on Twitter The idea is insane

But that's what the Sanders campaign DID do after 2016, they went looking for the online assholes to put them on the official payroll They were still doing it a few months ago (hiring that Orfalea dude among others) It's ridiculous

Something probably enabled, ironically, by the fact that Sanders himself is Extremely Offline and probably doesn't fully appreciate how much of a stink his "passionate supporters" have generated for him in online spaces

Let's just not staff anyone who knows what a podcast is for the moment being. Because for every cool "Wow, AOC is progressive AND played Donkey Kong" there are like three "Gamergate was right, Not seeing Samus' Boobs is Neoliberal corporate wankery" in the payroll.
