Comments by "" (@thehumanity0) on "Rogan PRAISES Bernie Sanders, Calls Trump Drug-Addled 'Man Baby' | The Kyle Kulinski Show" video.
@skibooski6884 It's more than that he "thinks differently", it's that he's saying wildly inaccurate things and not even thinking his own ideology through when he supports numerous things that someone like Ron Desantis is in complete disagreement with. Ron Desantis is also corrupt (so is Amy Klobuchar for that matter to a lesser extent), so it also goes to show that Rogan just doesn't know that much about Desantis yet is making an uninformed plus extremely influential decision. When Rogan talks about Bernie, he names various different policies & an actual platform that he agrees with, while he more or less just supports Desantis cause he's not Trump or a walking corpse like Biden & can't really make the same analysis (maybe he'll mention COVID, but that's only one issue and an issue that Rogan has proven to be extremely misinformed on).

I think he wants us to just understand him like he personally sees him, which is that of a political nomad that is more essential to be won over and swayed than someone we should all be aggressively attacking and banishing from our political sphere for saying stupid shit he mainly just parrots from conservative guests. I get where Kyle is coming from - Rogan is extremely influential and having him say stuff like this actually has an effect on the Overton Window. He also goes way too easy on him I assume because he's trying to hold onto that tenuous connection between their two worlds. I personally get where both sides are coming from, but ultimately I think Kyle is more correct on the issue even though Rogan is frustrating and annoying to watch when he goes into these idiotic conservative phases. Edit: Just to clarify, I think morally Kyle is wrong and should be more aggressively criticizing Rogan, but strategically Kyle is right, I think it all just depends on what you value more and Kyle is definitely playing more of a long game, whether it has to do with personal relationships or not. There is no strategic value to boycotting Rogan, even if ethically it's correct to bash him for all the stupid shit he says.

Pretty much everyone says that and that's cause it's essentially true.

Kyle refuses to give up trying to sway Rogan back to Leftist politics. Whether that has anything to do with his personal relationship to Rogan or not, it's undeniable that it's also just the smart thing to do in the long run. What are the advantages of banishing Rogan from the Left political sphere? The man is a literal force that single-handedly can move the Overton Window. I don't usually like Kyle's videos on Rogan because he does come off as really biased, but I understand his position and don't disagree with it. I don't know what the current consensus of Rogan is right now, but I don't think he's anywhere close to being a TFG. If Rogan is so easily influenced by the people he speaks to, then it's still in the Left's best interests to push him to talk to more leftist guests.

I will say that I've noticed that this current era of politics is breaking peoples brains in general, especially the swing and independent voters that are ignorant about policy. I see a lot of independents just harshly turning against the Left and supporting people like Ron Desantis or the larger Republican party because of sheer feelings, mostly about Biden and the Democrats. Now that the conservative Party is suddenly taking a sledgehammer to rights and civil liberties like abortion and contraception, they're totally lost in the woods and confused, trying to twist their brains on why their recent support of Republicans is still valid despite their draconian social authoritarianism.

The endorsement was never discarded? Bernie's campaign accepted it as "extending a big tent to all types of people with different politics" and in response the media went ape shit over not rejecting it and then went on a huge tour where they tried to paint Rogan as every -ism in the book to, by extension, smear Bernie.

@Thezuule1 How did they "distance" themselves though? They were never in close association with Rogan to begin besides a one-use of his podcast. Did they "reject" the endorsement or not? Cause "distancing" and "rejecting" are not the same thing and you have yet to even explain what distancing means in this situation

@Thezuule1 Also, you should provide a link, because I can't find a single thing about Bernie rejecting or even "distancing" from Rogan.

@Thezuule1 I genuinely don't ever remember that happening. Are you sure you're not thinking of someone else? All I remember is that Rogan endorsed Bernie, the media smeared him to piece and tried to shame Bernie's campaign to reject the endorsement and then the Bernie campaign released a statement about how they wanted to create a big tent that even independents or conservatives could be a part of. If there is more to the story, I'm simply asking you to elaborate because I genuinely don't remember & can't find anything further about the story through Google or in the news.

@interdimensionalsteve8172 I agree. Rogan mainly just parrots conservative garbage, he's not the one concocting it & just shape shifts based on who he's spoken to recently. It's all the more reason to not give up on swaying him back to Left ideals. Whether Kyle defends Rogan for personal reasons or not, it doesn't change the fact that Rogan is extremely influential and his words actually have an effect on the Overton Window, while a Left commentator like Kyle can't even hope to budge it and has accurately pointed out in the past his influence and persuasion is like that of "pissing into a Hurricane" to try to change its trajectory.
