All purpose news and politics thread part v: The quickening

You are dodging the question.

Will you vote for Bernie if he's the nominee?

This is literally you, down to the instant coffee in the mug.

[SquirrelMan]

I guarandamntee you I'd be talking about it if Biden or Warren promoted someone who claimed black neighborhoods were like The Planet of the Apes.

If Superbats and #30 would let us get a post in between all their very concerned analysis of how this is typical for candidate NotBernie.

So he'll vote third party if Bernie's the nominee.

He lives in California, so it doesn't matter.

Touted is the phrase used by the reporter.

Sanders publicly accepted the endorsement. The tweet is of Rogan explaining why he's voting for Bernie and Bernie quoting him.

They touted it. They factually, actually, made-a-video touted it.

The fact that you and Knight and that person with the Magneto avatar say they did not makes it impossible to have a proper debate with y'all.

Oh look. You found a way to turn this into another attack on Hillary Clinton.

I so hope she runs into you one day. Hard.

Not really an "Attack..." when it is what someone actually said and did.

That's Steven Crowder, not me.

When I see actual proof outside of Rogan's claims that they wanted to go on his show, and they then go on his show, and then retweet his endorsement.

Apparently he lied about it.

Pretty sure he is talking about the difference between primaries and general election, not voting 3rd party.

[SquirrelMan]

We cannot know that for sure.

It doesn't matter because Cali isn't ever going to the Republicans but that's good I guess.

Slate writer Aymann Ismail:

Some of the most vile stereotypes about Muslims are repeated on Rogan’s show...

I don’t have a problem with him supporting Sanders. I have a problem with Sanders supporting him. My take on Slate

[Superbat]

We cannot know that for sure.

LMAO, is this your way of soliciting a pic from me?

It's not going happen. I'm not into you, no offense.

I met Franklin a few times back when he used to work at Universal -- definitely an individual who speaks his mind, especially on racial issues.

Looks like he has a background in politics as well.

(and this is also reading it as being about primaries, not 3rd party)

No.

Sports aren't my thing.
