It’s not a power play. Rogan has the #1 podcast in the world - and he doesn’t ever travel to do his show. Trump, and now JD, are making the investment. The Harris campaign didn’t ask other podcast hosts to come to her.

And it’s worth the investment, even if it took a full day. What’s better, a rally of 5-20k people who are already voting for you, or 30M views on the number one podcast with a simpleton audience (as you guys would probably put it) that could be swayed?

She’s had weeks to make it work. If it doesn’t happen, the Harris campaign never actually wanted it to happen. Which is a mistake IMO.

Is the incel crowd really in play?

With campaign appearances in battleground states, the candidates are on a lot of local news (TV, radio, print). They can do interviews with local media. It’s not just one appearance.

I agree. If it is really as close as we think it is, then getting onto Rogan could only help unless she was afraid she'd botch answers or convo. If she can do Howard Stern, why not Rogan? I hope future Dem pols gets on there.

At a minimum she comes across as normal and non-weird in contrast to Trump...

I don't listen to Rogan, so I have no idea if he'd actually give her a fair interview. But he would be fully in charge of how he wants his listeners to vote. He controls the questions. His listeners are the wrong demographic, so how many could she actually switch? It's not a guaranteed win so why waste a full day on it?

Yeah, no. Rogan’s just not that important.

First time I’ve looked at that Twitter page, but every tweet is about political ads so it looks reputable to me.

AdImpact is a reputable ad intelligence company that tracks political advertising/content/spending. They have competitors like Kantar/MediaRadar.

They don’t ostensibly have a political leaning, but I don’t know much about the people who run it.

Eh, I don’t see it as a mistake. It might’ve been something to do a month ago. But in the final days, the energy and effort, plus risk/reward aren’t worth it.

Not many persuadables among his audience, and the last thing she needs right now are bad viral moments coming out of an uncontrolled setting for a low reward audience.

Just more evidence of a comment I made yesterday - when they are the ones insulting and attacking people, and often in the most personal ways - then it's just fun and games and their targets just need to toughen up and get over it. But when they're the ones who feel attacked then they're just poor victims of librul cancel culture and wokeism and nasty women and it all needs to stop, pronto. Their double standard is very real.
 
The thing I don't understand about the Biden "gaffe" tonight is that it wasn't a gaffe. In the very same sentence, he indicates he's talking about one person.

Context is for losers. Gotta change the narrative and Joe’s mushmouth provided a malleable moment.
 

Biden seeks to clean up ‘garbage’ comment about Trump supporters denigrating Latinos​



“…
Biden’s comments drew swift backlash online, with Republicans immediately connecting them to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 remark that half of Trump’s supporters were “deplorables.” Biden’s remarks came just as Vice President Kamala Harris was set to take the stage for a major rally in Washington, DC.

“Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it,” Biden posted on X later that evening. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”

When CNN asked for an explanation on the president’s comments, a White House spokesperson insisted that Biden had meant “supporter’s” rather than “supporters,” arguing that he had actually said this: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s – his – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.” …”
 
So damn dumb. Biden was answering a question about hateful rhetoric at Trump’s rally and went full “hold my beer.”

Biden delivers the narrative change MAGA was dying for right as Harris delivers her closing message speech.
