Nope, TYT took poll about who the most important person at TYT was among 4 people, Micheal Shure, Wes Clark, Michael J Wood and Jimmy took about 65% and then there was another survey about who the best journalist on internet was among different journalists and Jimmy Dore came on top of everybody including Glen Greenwald which I disagree with but it shows you how important Jimmy has become. He is being re-tweeted by Wikileaks on Twitter. Nobody is re-tweeting Sam coz he is afraid of making powerful enemies, he would rather make stupid jokes about Sebastian Gorka's accent. Washington Post tried to smear Jimmy and New York times tried to slime Lee Camp. Why? Because they are afraid of them. Sam never talks about what's going on in Syria, never talks about US government toppling Iran, Iraq, Libya and how they tried to topple Assad.
So there you go. So if you are progressive, you should support progressives and attack establishment, Sam is not doing that.

The difference now is that people are awake unlike 2000 election. People had 2 terms of Obama who is a corporate toadie who let all of that happen during his term and people DGAF about Democratic Party anymore. Sam and his panel just love Obama but all of that happen during his term. Oh, those damn Republicans, if only Obama had some kind of power and then he would've done something about it, he would've been screaming about it on TV every day. Obama was president for 8 years and nobody knows what he stood for, Obama doesn't seem to understand bully pulpit and use of grassroots. There were millions of people after he was inaugurated at the National Mall ready to follow him and he never wanted to use them because he is Obama never wanted to change anything anyway. While Obama was golfing with John Boehner (coz he has to work across the isle) while cops were cracking skulls of peaceful Occupy protesters and Obama was fine with that. Bernie, even Trump, understand how to use bully pulpit better than Obama and Obama is supposed to be this great orator. Wake Bernie in the middle of the night and you know exactly what he will say: millionaihas and billionahais, healthcare as a right, free college, infrastructure spending. What did Obama stand for? What was his message? He wasted 8 years and pissed away supermajoirty when he could've passed Single Payer, voting on holiday or on weekends. Obama doesn't seem all that concerned, he is hanging out with millionaires, the first thing he did after he came back was to get $400k speech to Wall Street.
3 Democrats voted to confirm Gorsuch Heidi Heitkamp N.D., Joe Manchin W.Va. Joe Donnelly Ind. if you have Democrats who voted to confirm a conservatives for SCOTUS what do you have to complain about? Obama had 1 year to confirm a supreme court and he picked pro Citizens United Merrick Garland to please Republicans and they still said no. That's not how you negotiate, you don't start from your opponents position. Obama should've started with Cornell West. Why didn't Obama do that? Because he thought he was playing 3 dimensional chess.
He never wanted to fight to have him confirmed becasue his "brilliant" calculation was to put him on the ballot which will force progressives to vote for Hillary Clinton because he knew for sure that Hillary would never lose. But it backfired just like Clinton's brilliant Pied Piper strategy backfired and Trump became president. And you will tell me that Hillary Clinton would get rid of Citizens United? Really? You're that naive? Without Citizens United Clinton would not get any money from regular people, her super Pacs kept her afloat. Bernie out-raised her in the beginning from regular people $27/person, you know that. And you think that Hillary Clinton would get rid of Citizens United? LOL!
Did Sam Seder tell you that? LOL!
