Wasn't Rogan big on supporting Sander's and legal marijuana. Seems like a strange platform for Trump?

From the start of the article: > Rogan has previously said he would vote for Trump over Biden and has speculated that Biden is suffering from some sort of cognitive decline.

  The amount of doublethink required to look at Biden and think cognitive decline when faced with Trump is so bizarre to me. Biden has done long form podcasts and speeches, I've listened to them - he's not as sharp as he was but he's fine. He's a terrible public speaker, but he's fine. Trump is also not a gibbering wreck, but - even ignoring the bleach comment - he cannot remember pertinent details from his briefings (Swan interview), he gives away extremely damaging information about himself on the phone to a reporter who he knows despises him (Woodward). He seems to have little to no control over his own actions. I could be more aggressive and cite the Daily Show's compilation of trump looking lost "Where's Rudy" and confused. The whole reason why they are pushing the sleepy Joe line is because everything the Donald is accused of, they fling back mirrored against the opponent. Donald Trump, ever since his Nuclear speech, has been accused of being mentally deficient so that's their play. Edit: Downvote all you like but please counterargue.

    > He's a terrible public speaker Yes, this is the problem, it's always been the problem. Biden is a human gaffe machine, and this derailed his previous Presidential runs. Not sure why Democrats thought he was the "safe" choice. In the past, Biden would have been considered a loose cannon, but of course he seems rather tame compared to Trump. As does anyone compared to Trump.

      He's the safe choice in that this election is going to come down to Trump/Not Trump. So all he has to do is literally not be Donald Trump. It's not that the party thinks he's their best bet to win the election, it's that they think it's their best chance to get him elected.

      I believe they were planning to lose this election from the outset. Ten Presidents have failed to win a second term in 230 years.

    As long as we have culture of refusing to hear viewpoints or watch videos from the other side of the table, that's what you'll get. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBWbSU2vDvc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBWbSU2vDvc
