I’d watch it if she was immediately arrested for weed possession and forced to go fight forest fires while incarcerated

Trying to get Rogan bros to vote Harris seems like a very odd strategy. Seems like that group of people will trend hard right.

The fox thing too is weird. Are their moderate fox viewers in 2024?

All seems like a pretty dumb strategy.

I think its possible to get Rogan Bros to not show up. They delight in pretending to be above it all / both sides are bad, etc.

After seeing what happened to Sanjay Gupta, I’m not exactly thrilled to let this drug addled halfwit take a shot at destroying her credibility.

For sure. How is she planning to handle the Covid was fake, government created it in a way that doesn’t just calcify her opponents. I see no way to navigate that in a way that results in a single net positive vote for her. Seems like all downside.

Rogan’s still like the biggest platform available to reach people. He is also very malleable so she could make some points and get Joe to agree. Plus the chance for a viral moment (albeit good or bad) is high. Clips of the interview would be played everywhere.

Joe may say some dumb shit but he is not going to go hard at her. I thjnk it is worth the risks.

Not sure I’d bet that at even odds

I know his thing is mostly just going wow and nodding along, but…

You guys are just assuming she is going there to campaign. Maybe she is just announcing her new line of whey protein or the launching of KamalaCoin?

It is very close to a freeroll. Rogan listeners are overwhelmingly going to vote Trump or not at all. Also, crucially, they are persuadable, unlike literally anyone watching CNN.

Kamala is leaning back into him being an unfit weird moron at just the right time. She’s running a great campaign.

You all are worried Kamala Harris is going to get tripped up by Joe Rogan. Kamala Harris. By Joe Rogan.

She could bring one of those feather on a stick cat toys and he’d forget to even ask a question.

He got Gupta, who is surely no dumdum. I suspect that his downfall was trying to be a people pleaser and wanted Joe to like him so he just went along with all the nonsense, and Kamala hopefully wouldn’t fall into that trap, but it feels risky to me.

I honestly don’t know how she’d do with someone like that. Her instincts have been pretty good, so I’ll hope for the best if it happens. Feels like a huge risk though if she ivermectins and goes viral, when I don’t really know that there is upside the other way.

It’s less of a big deal than going on Call Her Daddy, but peeling off a few Rogan idiots can’t hurt.

Remember when all the shitlibs got up in arms about Bernie going on Rogan? Pepperidge farm remembers

But now it’s “good strategy” or whatever

Edit: added link, and it wasn’t just going on Rogan, he was endorsed by Rogan! And people thought that was a bad thing.

It’s a good strategy to get on Rogan before he moves on to the next shiny object. It’s not a good strategy to try to pander to Roganbros or make concessions to win them over. The fact that he’s pro-Bernie one minute, pro-Yang or even pro-Trump the next and now could conceivably be pro-Harris sort of suggests that these aren’t a reliable voting bloc.

Yea, same as it was in 2020 when Bernie was getting criticized for it. (fwiw most of this board was supportive of it back then too)

I’m super concerned about the fascist trend among young men and think any opportunity to reach out to them is a good thing, whether they vote or not. Of course, I’m skeptical that Kamala is the person to do it but maybe she’ll surprise us.

What does she want us to do about it? You’re literally friends with the guy who runs the DEA, Kamala!

How do we expect people to agree with or accept our message if they’ve literally never heard it? If all they watch is Fox, they’ve never actually heard any Dems except through their filter.

Sure the programming/hosts are usually in bad faith, and a lot of the viewers are bad faith, but a lot of them aren’t…they actually believe it’s news. How do we expect to even attempt to break the brainwashing if we never even try?

You can’t expect voters to come to you. You HAVE to go to them.
