re: Joe Rogan Podcast: Tusli Gabbard and Jocko Willink

Tulsi isn't hiding who she is. Anyone claiming that isn't listening to anything other than selected media clips or reactions to her debate performances.

The one thing I can respect about Tulsi is that she seems to be an honest liberal, in the classic sense. She is a populist and the flip side of Trump. I am not a fan of her liberal policies in general but we need opposition that is genuine in their beliefs and willing to debate. Not only is she willing to debate honestly, she appears to consider the other side of the argument.

What's really tearing this country apart are the corporatist Dems(and some pubs) selling this country out to the highest bidder. Those assholes are full of ulterior motives, namely government control of every aspect of your life. And in the few places where they can't make a constitutional argument to wrest control directly, they want corporations to do their dirty work for them. Tulsi, like Trump, has a healthy suspicion of those politicians and giant corporations like Google. She obviously also has very good reason to distrust the media. If anything, we need more Dems like her. Liberals genuinely trying to do what they believe is best for the American people, even if we don't agree with what they say. Same goes for Yang.

Definitely not a moron, but you are if you go around judging people that you dont know. He would be the first one to tell you hes not intelligent. That he is just a comic who found a way to be successful and he is enjoying what his success brings him...which right now is being able to interview really interesting people. You on the other hand sound like a sad lil person.

Jocko's book was good.

Joe Rogan Podcast is about the most evenly balanced news outlet in the world. He asks simple straight forward questions and let’s his guest explain their positions.

I agree with that. But then how do you explain Biden's popularity? Or Pelosi, Schiff and for heaven's sake the one politician whose unexpected loss brought about all this destroy the country to save the country mess, Hillary Clinton.

He has managed to amass 25 million dollars in his limited state. Amazing!

If future candidates are smart they will use this type of platform to explain themselves and their goals. Rogan has made a good point that these debates where they only get to speak for 2 minutes a pop is accomplishing nothing and is just for show and the occasional "ooooohh she got him good with that comeback".

This platform makes these people seem normal and relatable. It also gives them time to explain themselves and also be called out on their bull shite if done by the right host. And also my favorite part is it cuts out the rehearsed aspect of a debate. Try speaking with rehearsed talking points for 2-3 hours. The debates we have now are wayyyyy too rehearsed and take me out of it.
