Democrats spent the last year asking where their Joe Rogan was. Hasan Piker is one of the few left-wing figures with the audience they covet — but the party is deeply hostile to the spontaneity and independence that make figures like him appealing.

The party wants a “Joe Rogan of the left” so they can focus on controlling one person to drag millions of people along into whatever fresh hell their billionaire donors are cooking up. Just like the Joe Rogan of the right.
I do not want there to be a Joe Rogan of the left.
Well actually the party is composed of many different people, a variety of backgrounds, and many of them don’t want a Joe Rogan of the left because they know that it’s just b*******. But it’s a cute idea to pretend that they do.
I think it’s clear “the party” here is referring to top party leadership. When people say “Washington holds negotiations with Moscow”, do you object that, in fact, very few citizens of either city were involved?
The problem is that what they actually want is “Joe Rogan of the middle” and they already have that in the form of basically every single newscaster that isn’t a magatard.
magaturd, please
Just like the preferred establishment candidates, they want an empty vessel with no political ideology they can fill with money and operate like a puppet to sheepdog for their own purposes.
Joe Rogan is a right wing manifestation. The left wing equivalent is some sort of group, not an individual. That’s one of the fundamental differences between the two sides.
We used to have a Joe Rogan of the left, he was Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
RFK Jr was never left
Neoliberal maybe but they’re right wingers unless you still drink that high fructose American koolaid where Democrats are “radical far left”
I guess you don’t remember Ring of Fire and Air America Radio. Granted, it’s been a minute. 😉

Ring of Fire is still going isn’t it?
As a podcast, yeah, but long without RFK Jr.
