Joe Rogan is a caveman, but I hate this mentality.

I’ve had a ton of horrible experiences with doctors. Misdiagnosis, given bad medication, bad medical advice, etc. A common trait all of them had extreme arrogance. They all thought they had all the answers, and that modern medicine was infallible.

If you had an issue they couldn’t put a clear label on fairly quick or weren’t responding to treatment in a textbook way, then that was somehow your fault. Either you were lying, or exaggerating, or it was all just in your head.

I’m not alone in this experience. Basically every American with any sort of complex health issues has had a bad experience at the hands of someone who claims to be an expert. That’s on top of the medical establishment letting bad medicine go on for years, because they are extremely reluctant to admit they don’t have all the answers.

Obviously, none of that makes Joe Rogan any sort of intellectual or trusted authority on anything except bro science. How you can’t expect people to have unflinching trust in doctors when doctors let people down so often.

That’s actually exactly what I mean. Eight years ago is “almost a decade”. Since his defeat in the 2016 democratic primaries:

• Bernie sanders was named a member of the Senate democratic leadership
• Members of Bernie’s 2016 run were incorporated into the demo
• Bernie sanders was runner up in the 2020 democratic primaries, winning a several states and beating out more establishment candidates.
• Joe Biden agreed to adopt several progressive policies as recongnition to the movements power within the party
• Bernie Sanders endorsed Biden, and acted as a campaign surrogate in a way he was never asked for for Hillary
• Bernie Sanders declined to endorse or encourage a challenger in the 2024 democratic primaries
• Bernie Sanders took the establishment position of backing up Biden after his absolutely disastrous debate.

Dude has had massive political and social pull for a long time now, and has very little to show for it.

Would this deportation have happened under a Harris administration?

God if this doesn’t summarize Bernie’s career in a nutshell; A viral empowering moment that feels amazing on first glance, but in reality it’s just a virtue signal. Absolutely nothing of consequence was accomplished, and absolutely nothing meaningful changes.

This man has been in Congress for longer than I have been alive. He’s had serious pull in the democratic party for almost a full decade now. At some point platitudes don’t cut it.

Rashida Thalib low-key wanted Trump to win lol. Her sister was the president of the uncommitted movement, which called for liberals to sit out in 2024 or vote for Jill Stein. She herself refused to endorse Harris.

There’s absolutely no way he’s adding enough value compared to Joe MBA to justify that compensation.

Dude should have just added comments indicating that the code was part of some security test but was unfinished and extremely dangerous.

Change a few file names, add a comment how it will never run under normal circumstances, and you’ve got plausible deniability.

Just to be clear, your solution to saving democracy would be for the military to usurp a president who received the majority of the vote less than six months ago?
