Here's Joe Rogan making a case for medicare for all.

Some people might be offended by the language. He's not everyone's cup of tea.

But, if younger people, or people not offended by the language, or anyone else who doesn't pay attention to politics much gets to understand the importance of universal healthcare through Rogan's endorsement of Bernie, that is definitely a good thing.

1. Is that supposed to make us think that Rogan's okay? If so, I don't think it worked.

More misogynist and filthy garbage. A mere 27 seconds and he was able to fit in "fuck", "bitch", and "shit". What a classy guy.

3. And yet, there he is plugging Medicare for All to his millions of listeners.

6. I think you may have hit upon the real issue

7. So the ends justify the means?

8. It's about changing hearts and minds.

If someone like Joe Rogan can come on board with Medicare for All and a larger progressive agenda, maybe some of his listeners can too.

10. He said in the Jimmy Dore interview that he's always been progressive.

Said he grew up in San Francisco and always voted Democratic except for 2016 and that people probably think he's a right-winger because of the way he looks and because he hunts.

I don't know about his audience, maybe not so many progressives?

[HerbChestnut]

11. Definitely not many progressives in his audience.

I saw the clip you mentioned too and was surprised to hear that, like I'm sure many people were. Rogan has a reputation as being kind of a RW/libertarian guy, but that just goes to show you can't judge someone on the surface.

4. Like I said, some people will be offended by the language, which I understand.

But others won't be. That's the point. Reaching people who might not be reached otherwise. Some people prefer ideas presented in the language of a professor or a New York Times columnist. But others are more comfortable with the way Joe Rogan speaks, crass as it may be.

2. Being in favor of Medicare for All doesn't make him less of a racist asshole.

5. Amazingly, Joe Rogan is still a racist, homophobic, misogynist. eom

9. You can support MFA and still be a racist and homophobe.
