That’s probably a good explanation. Pretty much everyone of these podcasting guru type people start of centrist or leftcenter then once they start to mix with the big leagues and make lots of money, all of the sudden they become right wing figures.

Man, I miss the r/decodingthegurus reddit sub where we could make fun of and expose these dipshits.
I’ve already created around 6 communities and mod an extra two across this account and my alts so I kind of have my hands full here
Also if I had the energy to make and run a community I think one I’d love on lemmy is probably c/anticonsumption or c/guerrillagardening so I’d probably prioritise one of those.
And there's a risk of a community like that blowing up overnight when you've already got a bunch of mod duties and you're the only mod in the new community.
Hopefully you can find a couple people to fill in the mod team.
If my experience on lemmy is worth anything, pretty much any community where the majority of posts are in picture formats, and where the content is accessible/understable to most, usually grows pretty quick.
Joe Rogan has made it very clear over the years that he believes whatever people he knows tell him without bothering to check for himself to see whether or not it's true.
So he may have actually had no idea what Bernie's platform was.
