I think unlike most other podcasters, Joe Rogan isn't feeling the desperation of wanting to be "validated" by having a candidate spewing their prefab utterances on their show.
I may be wrong, but I actually believe Rogan when he says "I just want to have a genuine human conversation."
It appears to me that the Harris election cabal want's anything but that.
(Truth is, we don't even have true debates in this political theater... just people taking turns spouting canned politi-speak bullet points, and the oppositions' canned counter-attacks on those pre-imagined points. Nearly every single politician appearance in media is forced into some form of submission by the "desired" guest...)
Rogan's format distinguishes itself as being free from constraint... which many more cowardly guests run away from as a hazard to their "imagery"... because it is only "appearances" that matter to them.
Collect every appearance of Harris's past, and compile them into a 'conversation'... say what? It can't be done?... shouldn't we wonder why that is?... And how will her 'style' manifest on the world-stage? We already know how it manifests here in the States.
At the risk of seeming partisan, I place the blame on the committee. The are of the same ilk as many conservative think-tanks... thinking they can 'tell' people what to think... choosing candidates as empty 'placeholders' for their collective will. It won't stop until we tell them "no more."
