AOC Dumped Bernie After Joe Rogan Endorsement

[Arturo 40,746]

Was she not on TV just a few days ago still stumping for him? This made up crap.

So what I'm actually getting right now from this thread is that Bernie is begging for the endorsement of people that hold homophobic and transphobic opinions, but AOC somehow is the bad one for not wanting to associate herself with that (especially considering she's gonna appear on RuPaul's Drag Race this season)?

Sorry but... AOC is in the right and Bernie and his campaign should get the biggest side-eye of the century for that, especially from the LGBT people that vocally support him.

 

If that's what you're getting from this thread, you need to read it again because you're... completely wrong.

1. He didn't ask Rogan for his support at all. He certainly didn't "beg."

2. AOC has campaigned with Bernie many, many times since Rogan endorsed Bernie.

It legitimately worries me that people think he's fit to take the office of the presidency. Look, even though I didn't vote for Joe in the primaries, I've never had anything against him personally since this Democratic primary started. I almost kind of bad for him. He stutters way too many of his sentences, he can't finish many of his sentences, he looks confused half the time he's talking, like, come on people. Something's seriously going on with him...

What’s worse is that people get offended as if Trump would’nt do worse. Mental health matters so much that the 25th amendment exists.

Please  This is not a truthful story and you're falling  for it. How did you manage to read the thread and not see the people debunking it?

And how is it in any way Bernie's fault that a podcaster who has some questionable view endorsed him? Cardi's endorsed gim, and she has also said transphobic things. Ariana did, and she's performed at Coachella despite the owner being anti-LGBT. If we nitpick these things the left would end up with no candidate.

And it isn’t like every endorsement is solicited either. Some people just say they support so and so.

 This is why she is the future of progressivism, not the ego maniac 78 yr old with 30 years of doing jack shot aside from whine.

 

She should’ve backed Warren.

You know, if the Sanders campaign hadn’t said a damn thing about Joe Rogan’s half-assed endorsement, none of us would be here. There are a lot of celebrities, politicians, activists, and other various prominent people who endorse political candidates all the time, but none of the campaigns make a huge deal out of it. Maybe a photo with the candidate, maybe a private “thank you” phone call, sometimes they’ll let them speak at a political rally to pump the crowd. Rarely do they use campaign funds to cut a spot and tout it to the public. Yet, here we are, talking about Sanders and his campaign deciding to make a point of celebrating the Rogan endorsement and so now we gotta talk about that dumb bald bastard who made people eat cockroaches.

Well... reading further up on I have to admit, not everything I put together in my first post was an actual grasp of what really went down, BUT it is still massively disappointing as somebody (who has followed Sanders and his politics from abroad during the last election) that he and his team chose to embrace this endorsment. But the endorsment they received isn't really the problem, it was the reaction to it imo.

The writer of the article I linked makes a very important point: They could have ignored it and it would have been fine. Or voice a private thank you. But like... that man kinda is the antithesis of everything Bernie supposedly stands for, so it does raise the question to me whether he has a political backbone or breaks and folds like any of the other politicians who wh*re out their ideals in the pursuit of power.

I dont think it's true. She was everywhere on tv campaigning for Bernie, even last week.

She didn’t dump him, she appeared at other campaign events later and is probably voting for him. 

She has every right to distance herself from something she disagrees with. 

I agree... but her reason is nonsense … 

No candidate will have every issue or policy exactly the way you want … 

Over all , Bernie's policy plans mimic Aoc's far more than they don't … so an issue as small as the Rogan endorsement ….

Give us some concrete examples of “insanity,” please. 
 

Anyway, this is a flat out lie. The establishment is obviously just trying to divide progressives. Don’t fall for it. Don’t forget the class solidarity that we need in times like this.

“the popular podcaster who has been criticized by LGBT activists for opposing puberty blockers for gender-confused children. He has also spoken out against the participation of biological males competing in women’s sports”.

This is what she’s so concerned about that she had to halt all her support? All of those listed above are legitimate stances. 

Tbh and at the risk of getting dragged to hell on this website, that last part about biological males competing in women's sports...

 

The only reason segregation still exists in sports and to a large degree remains unchallenged by the majority of the population despite a rising movement to be as gender neutral as possible in other aspects is because males and females do have considerable physical differences

 

So it's not about the gender identity in this case it's purely sex and the physical traits

 

Of course people may have a different opinion but I don't think that's an outrageous view at all. In fact I personally share it

 

And I studied for personal training considerably. So I'm aware of the biological differences on performance to a bigger extent than maybe the average person

You’re 100% right. Don’t feel like you’re alone. We can’t claim we’re feminists and that we want equality, yet allow biological males to compete with biological females for the sake of “inclusion”, when it has negatively affected women dramatically. Sex is something we can not dismiss, and I have strong opinions about this.
