Here I go, this may be the end of me, but Joe Rogan is not an enemy. [View all]

He has made racist comments.

He has made trans-phobic comments as many other stand-ups have, which is NO excuse.

But he is not the enemy, in fact he is very vocally ANTI the actual enemies Rump and Pence.

Bernie may end up the nominee, I doubt it but he may and if that happened we would have to not only vote for him but if Joe brought in some unsavory folks to vote for Bernie, that would be GOOD because the election is about

LIFE

AND

DEATH...

Even though I am known here to REALLY not like Bernie, which is no secret, you will think he was my guy ALL ALONG if he becomes the nominee.

And even though Rogan has punched down with racism and homophobic comments, he is NOT the enemy at least NOT NOW.

Take back the WH and House and Senate, then worry about Rogan and people like him, but for now they are on our side and for now that is EVERYTHING...We better understand that...it is fucking serious like a heart attack actually.

And no, I am neither a POC of LGBTQ, so I understand I cant and wont speak for them, that is NOT what this is. This is

a BINARY time...you are either on our side or on the side of FASCISM AND DEATH.

I am not the enemy either.
ROGAN's endorsement ONLY matters IF Bernie is the nominee...which is the BASIS of my post.

ps

Oh, and the guy who gave Liz shit about tuition free college, FUCK HIM too!


edit

I spend months LAMBASTING Bernie supporters for very obviously putting CONDITIONS on their vote here and elsewhere. All I am doing here is saying the same thing if Bernie happens to be the candidate, we have to put NO conditions on that and accept ALL the help we can get...because, again, the alternative is maybe DEATH.




Conversely I sure hope some BS voters dont condition their vote on the basis of who endorses a candidate other than him...same thing, same EXACT thing...


If a nevertrumper con endorses anyone other than Bernie, for example, because he or she is anti trump; we can almost guarantee such a person has an UGLY history of either being anti minority or wanting to destroy SS and Medicare or both, but if they want to give us MORE votes by endorsing one of ours...OF COURSE we accept it.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
