I know 0 Democrats that ever considered him, but I know plenty of right leaning Joe Rogan types that did / still are.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

He was always going to appeal to the low info swing voters.
Didn’t Joe Rogan endorse RFK?
Yep. "He just makes sense to me" or something similar is what he said. Hilarious.
Joe Rogan is just one example why it is unwise to give idiots an audience no matter how much money it makes.
I like weed too, but I can't stand the "whoa dude, think about it" type stoners.
I'm a little bit of that type of stoner, I just try not to be a cruel asshole who's wrong about everything all the time.
But I'm guessing your high daydreams are somewhat grounded in reality, not conspiracy theories and misinformation. I do it too about future space travel, but I know FTL and matter teleportation is impossible.
I wish y'all and I could pass a bong and create a space opera on a sunny afternoon.
Was there a Fear Factor where you had to put your head in a box full of brain worms for like 60 seconds?
He did, and then walked it back after Trump got super pissy at him lol
I hadn't heard he walked it back. That's funny. That's what a Joe Rogan endorsement is worth. No surprise to me, but now it's on full display for everyone.
"Vote for this guy. It's taken a lot of time and deliberation to decide but he's definitely our... nope, wait..."
Time and deliberation? In the context of Joe Rogan?
lol. Lmao, even.
Eh, not at all surprised. Just like that cry-baby murderer, little Kyle
For now till the Hate Mill starts transvestigating him. He'll flip back crying like a bitch just like Kyle the Murderer.
He did, but then he took it back when MAGAts started turning on him for disloyalty to Trump.
You know, I'd be perfectly fine if he became the defacto conservative vote. He's probably a better candidate than Trump, lol
It'd be hard to be a worse one.
I give you Stephen Miller
That guy has the moral fiber of the shark in Jaws, but with none of the charisma.
Lowest bar ever
It's glorious. The bar is so low we don't even have to talk about policies or anything. We just need literally any non felon who speaks English in an understandable manner. A potato would literally be a viable choice over Trump. The noble tuber.
Brain worm vs syphilis brain ! Speaks volume about Republicans
At least he has some environmental protection cred.
People were saying this months ago. RFK has always been a psychotic asswipe with brainworms who appeals to braindead boomers. Nothing has changed. He isn't suddenly hurting either party more, he has always been a low draw that only appeals to anti-vax morons. That is his entire shtick. No one else cares.
That's the swing voter though. Salt of the earth. The common clay. You know, morons.
Aww. Mongo like Sheriff Bart!
Yes... Yes... Split that Republican vote... Yes...
sheevpalpatine.mov
Why is your .mov resolving as a url? When TF did .mov become a TLD?? WHOSE IDEA WAS THAT‽
Also absolutely fuck Google for this
What the fuck. I thought it was just boost being strange
My bad. Lol
Ah you've never seen redtube.mov
Kennedy was a spoiler meant to target Biden. Now that Biden is out, Kennedy will magically drop out and officially endorse his followers to trump as election nears.
the pool of brainworm-leaning voters is limited
Charlie and Frank are driving down a country road and stop to pick up some road kill for dinner only to be beaten to it by a man who appears to have had more brain worms than Charlie.
…The gang support RFK Jr

But isn’t this the same guy who could possibly drop out and then just go back to endorse trump?
Rats swimming away from an "unsinkable" Titanic.
I hope he stays in the race. My worry is that he tries to get a bunch of weird anti-vax concessions from Trump in exchange for an endorsement.
