Whether people like Rogan or not, in terms of exposure to a political forum, it makes sense.
Rogan is a guy who is knowledgeable on certain issues, and does have a fairly moderate "political profile" when considering the full spectrum of political issues.
He can't be considered "too far left" or "too far right", he has a huge audience, and is friends with a rather eclectic group of people.
If someone is out to dinner with this group, then it's safe to say they're not playing favorites in terms of political partisanship and don't hold any particular political grudges.
At the table, Jordan Peterson, Eric Weinstein, Ben Shapiro, Dave Rubin, Rogan, and Sam Harris.
(the "Intellectual Dark Web" as they're called...only people missing are Michael Shermer and Christina Sommers)
"The Left" and "right" are both represented at that table.
Rogan gets along well with all of them obviously...
He doesn't play the "PC" game, he won't stand for "appeal to religion" or "appeal to tradition" fallacies. I can seem him asking tough questions to both candidates rather than the canned questions they normally get during town halls and debates.
If you ask me, Rogan is a better guy to moderate a debate between a liberal and conservative than having some partisan hack from CNN or Fox do it.
(as long as he doesn't drift off too much into trying to get them to do DMT or practice jiu jitsu lol)
