Would Joe Rogan Make a Good Candidate for Office?

Introduction

The public often sets a low bar when it comes to political candidates. Being photogenic and having a smooth, comforting patter is often sufficient for gaining support. In this context, Joe Rogan could very well be a viable candidate for office. Similarly, charismatic figures like The Rock, Matthew McConaughey, and Alec Baldwin (assuming he hasn’t shot someone) could also make it to the political arena.

The Lack of Substance

When we delve deeper into Joe Rogan’s appeal, it becomes clear that he lacks a coherent set of views or opinions. His entire persona revolves around allowing his guests to talk and avoid challenging or contradicting them. This suggests a deficiency in original ideas and genuine passion for any particular cause. As a candidate, this lack of substance would be a significant drawback.

The Problem with His Past

Joe Rogan's past is also an issue. While politicians are often judged more harshly for their past actions, it's concerning when a candidate has a history that could potentially be damaging. His comments and actions could reflect poorly on his suitability for office, leading to a lack of trust from the electorate.

The Complicated Picture

This raises the question of whether Joe Rogan represents a sad commentary on the state of the nation or not. Regardless, when we consider his lack of substantial ideas and his questionable history, it seems clear that he is not a viable candidate for office. The term 'viable political candidate' has become almost obsolete, given the mindset of many voters.

Public Perception and Voting Trends

It's often been proven that a significant portion of the population will happily vote for a media personality, regardless of their policies or qualifications. Post the 2016 election, it's become evident that the concept of a 'viable political candidate' has fundamentally changed.

Final Thoughts

Finally, let's reiterate the conclusion: No, Joe Rogan is not a viable candidate for office. Maybe he could be a clown candidate (which is a metaphorical way of saying that he might become a diluted figure for entertainment purposes), but his face paint is atrociously bad. He is too short to win elections, and in my opinion (imo), he is not a viable candidate.
