Petition Set Up To Get Joe Rogan To Moderate The 2020 Presidential Debate

A petition set up to get Joe Rogan to moderate the 2020 Presidential Debate has started to pick up huge momentum, as America gears up for the election, currently set for 3 November 2020.

The change.com petition was created three months ago but has recently had a hue surge in signatures. At the time of writing it stands at over 7,200

The comment on the petition reads: "We are petitioning for the Commission on the Presidential Debates to elect Joe Rogan as one of the moderators for the 2020 Presidential Debate. Here are the reasons why we believe this would be a great decision:

"1. Joe Rogan is a widely respected host who has hosted interviews with politicians, economists, scientists, and other popular figures, who come from various walks of life.

"2. Joe Rogan has experience with interviewing both progressive and conservative thinkers. Figures such as Andrew Yang (D), Tulsi Gabbard (D), Kyle Kulinski (D), Gary Johnson (L), Benjamin Shapiro (R), and Candace Owens (R), have all appeared on "The Joe Rogan Experience" program.

"3. Joe Rogan has an audience containing viewers from all areas of the political spectrum. Joe Rogan is not registered under any political party and is well-known for having civil, productive, and interesting, conversations about political issues without partisan bias.

"Please help us in our goal to elect Joe Rogan as one of the moderators for the 2020 Presidential Debate! Rogan would make a great moderator and would draw in more interested viewers for the debate."The site gives an option to give the reason behind your decision to sign the petition, and everyone seems to think that he's the right guy for the job.

One person commented: "We need a new way of holding debates and Joe's interview with Bernie Sanders sheds light on how it ought be done."

Another said: "I want an honest moderator without the biased agenda seen in all the rest. Fix may be the worst, but they aren't the only ones guilty of bias. Joe is the man."

Someone else posted: "Previous moderators have been horrible at their job, I've been listening to Rogan interviews for years and know he'd do a much better job."
