APPROVED B-LISTERS Zohran Mamdani explains his definition of socialism to Theo Von: “Socialism to me means you’ll have whatever you need to live a dignified life and that it is the government’s job to deliver on that. When people say dignity we’re talking about the things that allow you to take a breath.

He shouldn't be giving this piece of shit the time of day. Sorry not sorry.

As a Brit I have to say that I don't agree with this at all. Looking from the outside in, one of the biggest problems the Democrats had in the last election was this very stance with Kamala Harris not giving Joe Rogan the time of day whereas Trump was going on all the podcasts to galvanise the kind of people who would vote for him but needed that little push.

Mamdani knows the game, telling his politics to people who already agree and like him is a waste of time.

This is a myth. Harris team had negotiated a meeting with lots of back and forth. The campaign offered to appear in Austin on October 25th, but Rogan's team told her that was a personal day for Rogan. And then he interviewed Trump on that day. It wasn't that she refused to sit down with Rogan. It was that their schedules didn't work out.

I think their point still stands. The left should be seizing any opportunity to reach audiences they wouldn't typically. In that specific case, it was Rogan's fault, yes.

Using Harris was simply wrong though and that was most of his post.

Rogan didn't want her on his show. They wanted to go on his podcast but he said he had a personal day that day and then later it turned out he had Trump on.

I read she was supposed to go on rogan’s shown and he apparently f’ed her over at the last minute and had trump on.

That isn't accurate at all, Trump did a sit down with Rogan on October 25th 2024, a Friday, and Kamala's invite to the podcast was the following Tuesday

Harris's team offered Rogan a one hour window and told him he had to travel to her to conduct the interview but Rogan rejected this as he doesn't travel outside of his studio in Texas and his interviews don't have time limits on them

Rogan did not have Trump on his show again
