Joe Rogan Experience #2341 - Bernie Sanders

Bernie Sanders has been 80 for 25 years

Joe: Hey Bernie, How are you? Bernie: We have crippling levels of income inequality in this nation

I don’t care what political side you’re on, lobbying needs to be banned. Senators and corporations are just gaming the system for their own benefits.

The first thing to do is get rid of lobbyists

I work 50+ hours a week paycheck to paycheck... Just here screaming into the void

if minimum wage is livable, let’s pay all our representatives $7.25

Say what you will about Joe Rogan, but giving Bernie Sanders a platform to speak directly, unfiltered, for over an hour was one of the most important podcast moments in modern politics. It’s rare to see a major candidate treated like a human being instead of a soundbite. More of this, less of the cable news circus.

All politicians shall wear NASCAR-like uniforms displaying logos of ALL the corporations and individuals giving them $$$.

As long as Bernie Sanders can still be featured on Joe Rogan there is still hope.
