    He was never considered "in the coalition." When Bernie went on his show there was a huge argument among lefties online about whether it was good that Bernie was doing outreach to convert conservative-leaning men or bad that he was tacitly endorsing those viewpoints.

      I don’t personally blame him for trying. Probably more likely to pay out than going on Fox or whatever.

      The idea that Rogan is someone the left “lost” reminds me of the insinuation that the dems “lost” the tech corps. They were never on anyone’s side but their own, and politics shouldn’t revolve around pleasing them.

        Bernie did a town hall on Fox and it went pretty well for him. If you can communicate leftist ideas (being generous to Bernie) to regular people without media interference, they are usually perceptive.
