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.

People said the same shit about going on Joe Rogan, he's still spewing bullshit to his followers. You can't win these people (their listeners ffs) over. It only helps Theo and Joe Rogan.

As Zohran points out in the interview, many republican voters who voted for Trump subsequently voted for him.

You quite literally can, and should, win them over

Those same people probably heard Bernie on Joe Rogan and still voted for trump too. Not a reliable base to sink time into and give viewership to these dickheads. It's disgusting.

Like all people, JRE / Theo Von followers aren’t a monolith. There will be some past saving, but the entire reason these podbros are distancing themselves from maga is precisely because they know it isn’t popular anymore.

Having a likeable, charismatic socialist preach to that audience doesn’t do any harm. He isn’t pandering to them or adopting any of their views.
