Could someone explain why anyone should really care who Joe Rogan (who?) endorsed or

did not endorse and who accepted or should renounce his endorsement? At times, his name has been the most frequently mentioned in OP titles here for the past few days.

Seriously? He's a comedian, right?

He likes Andrew Yang and Bernie Sanders - and recently had a conversation with Bill Maher (Maher was invited on his show). They both appeared to like each other quite a bit.

he is participating in the "operation chaos" playbook.

Which means that everyone or anyone that he endorses should distance themselves from the endorsement.

Someone else posted why should he care? He doesn’t support sanders and if sanders hurts his campaign with this kind of stuff then it is no concern.

I’d like to think Dems stand for more than this...

I know other candidates would not go for this... in fact would run the other way

where a good number of those supporters won’t vote for the Democratic nominee if it isn’t that candidate

That speaks volumes to me

Please racists and homophobes, pay attention to this endorsement by Rogan.

Please Democrats, don’t pay attention to this endorsement.

Bernie wants to have both. But you can’t.

to make a point.

I don't know much about him, but if he was being sarcastic with those "evil" routines, some people should really lighten up and get the message.

Or, maybe he was just trying to rile people up-- the people who got riled should know they just walked into a trap.

Comics do that shit. Sometimes they pay, like Andrew Dice Clay, and sometimes we pay to see them.
