@maxmustermann @therecount LOL you mean #DavidPakman? Well he was sort of popular. But he’s a partisan political pundit, he was never going to get mainstream popular beyond what #BenShapiro has achieved. A left wing answer to #BenShapiro is very different from a left wing answer to #JoeRogan.

It also doesn’t help him that he came from the #AirAmerica era of the #ProgressiveTalk format. He’s old guard, part of the #MSM. It’s harder for those types of people to gain traction online, although to be fair to #DavidPakman he’s done well enough for himself.

The craziest thing is that the left had all kinds of Joe Rogans, they own the establishment media. Arguably, they used to have Joe Rogan.

The problem is that being authentic and honest and having a highly controlled hyperpartisan message are mutually exclusive goals.

Now, some might go "But Joe Rogan is hyperpartisan!" which would only show that person's own personal biases, which right now are "anyone who disagrees with our partisan message in any way is literally the hyperparisan opposite of me".

in a sane world, Joe is probably center-left to solidly left. It's only in clown world that he's considered some far right figure.
