  1. I thought politicians and orgs cozying up to media was something Dore took issue with. Guess not.

  3.  @Deemo202  He doesn't do any actual organizing work, so he doesn't know how to have a healthy disagreement while working toward a common goal. All he knows is his own inflated personality and the dim spectacle of youtube. No organization would tolerate the egoistic way he acts for one second. I'm convinced a big reason he rages about AOC and Bernie is that they won't go on his show. That's all it is for him. Terfsi goes on his show a couple times, agrees with him, and he loves her.

  5.  @vinniemcclung693  I'm sorry you don't understand how math works. I'll help you. This vote was never meant to pass M4A. First, the House has 435 members. Of those, 118 support M4A, meaning that the bill would not even pass the House. In the Senate, while the Democrats now have a slim majority, they do not have the 60 votes needed to avoid the filibuster, and Democratic leadership is unlikely to nuke the filibuster for M4A. That's assuming every Democrat votes in favor, but of course, conservative Democrats like Joe Manchin, and those taking money from Rx and health insurance industries, will vote against. So the grand strategy Dore proposes hinges on leveraging a lot of political capital for a symbolic vote. Some force the vote advocates then claim that the vote could be used against Democrats who vote Nay in upcoming elections. There are several problems with this theory. First, even if every Democrat were replaced with a M4A proponent, there would still not be enough votes to pass the House, and Dore thinks the Democrats will lose seats in 2022. Second, the theory assumes that voters will base their decision on what an incumbent did during a symbolic vote several years in the past. That may be a factor for some people, but there's no reason to think it would be salient, let alone decisive. Last, there's nothing stopping House Democrats from symbolically voting in favor of M4A if they think it will help their election chances while opposing it when it stands a legitimate chance. I'd encourage you to spend less time listening to the slurred rantings of a third rate youtuber who refuses to do basic preparation for his show and has been consistently wrong about pretty much everything. So Dore is expecting progressive Democrats to leverage their vote for Pelosi to secure a quixotic House vote for M4A that wouldn't even yield a symbolic victory. Small wonder no one serious wants to go along with such a dubious proposal, even leaving out his unhinged tirades. And again, this has nothing to do with my original comment, which was about Jimmy hypocritically demanding to be "courted" for his influence and platform. So...let's hope your next comment is on topic.
