Kamala Harris should still go on Joe Rogan

Given that Joe Rogan is still the most popular podcaster on earth;

Given that news of the appearance would make it the most popular podcast episode in history;

Given that the reported reasons for skipping Rogan was potential campaign staff or base backlash and there is no longer a campaign;

Given that the fight for what people should believe and who they should elect does not end with a campaign;

Given that what people believe about Trump’s agenda will depend on people being vigilant to the ways that Trump’s agenda will, in fact, work against their interests;

Given that a successful appearance would seed an understanding of how Trump’s agenda will prove hollow or given that a disastrous showing would prove the institutional leadership of the Democratic party to be similarly hollow;

Given that a disenchantment with Trumpism and a strategic overhaul of the Democratic party are essential for a better, freer, more equitable, and livable future;

Kamala Harris should still go on Joe Rogan.
