    I think if you’re a right winger who smokes weed, that makes you a libertarian, not a liberal.

      he’s a jackass right winger pretending that liking weed puts him on the left somehow

      I think you miss interpreted this line.

        You know there’s a big difference between a liberal and libertarian, right?

        Libertarian - an advocate or supporter of a political philosophy that advocates only minimal state intervention in the free market and the private lives of citizens.

        Liberal - a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare.

          Ok, I’ll spell it out for you. Joe Rogan is the one claiming to be a liberal or at the very least, a centrist. Not me and not the person you were originally replying to. Everyone here knows Joe Rogan is a libertarian.

            Oh, thank you so much. I don’t follow the whole Joe Rogan thing so I wasn’t familiar with him claiming to be a liberal. I thought he stuck to the conservative/libertarian thing and wasn’t trying to convince people he was something else. Thanks! TIL
