Can anyone explain what those endorsements are for? Is it literally just people that garner clout for a living saying “Hey I would vote for this one” or do they have actual consequences. If the former, why would anyone care?
It is just a public statement of support. There are only consequences to the extent that people care about/respect the opinion and judgment of the person giving the endorsement.
In this case, it’s valuable to RFK Jr in so far as individuals listening to Joe Rogan either think Joe has good insights into who should be president, or just want to be like him and will vote the way they think he will vote
People listen to other people’s opinions. You don’t care about joe rogans opinion, so his endorsement means nothing. Other people do listen to him and will take his endorsement into consideration. “I agree with what Rogan says alot, he’s probably more well informed than me, so if he says someone is worth the vote, well then I don’t have to think about it myself and can trust him”
It’s newsworthy when a public figure throws their endorsement around, you just don’t care about the news
