"you cant even call them debates. its reality tv show." god damn right bernie
listening to this in 2024 is wild.... I'm not a democrat but Sanders WAS the guy, not Biden, not Harris
Rogan gets alot of shit as being an unserious guy when it comes to politics. But show me anyone on CNN, MSNBC, Fox, ect that has done a more substantive interview about real issues than that. Huge respect to him for doing this.
This feels like the watershed moment for alternative media. Random mma guy joe rogan has a far better interview with a presidential candidate than any mainstream media and reaches vast amounts of people.
