  1. Trump's morons just gave a GIFT to Biden and the corporate overlords.

  2. JUST THE OPPOSITE. The cosplay left is demoralizing everyone by making it look as though nothing we need is possible, as though nothing we should do can be done.

  3.  @debutts7723  Oh please. You had a point, possibly, until you said "Tim Pool." Well, thanks for letting us know what you think. Or not. At any rate, it's obvious you don't follow Dore, which is certainly your prerogative, and I know he is not to everyone's taste -- understandably not. But if you don't follow Dore, then you do not know where he fits in the left wing landscape, or why a Cornel West, Richard Wolff, Chris Hedges, Max Blumenthal, Briahna Joy Gray, Matt Stoller, etc., etc., will come on his show, and will defend him to a large extent, even when they disapprove of certain tactics he uses. You don't know he was a bricklayer, you don't know he was the youngest of 12 children and grew up without a bookshelf in the house, you don't know he had to declare medical bankruptcy due to a rare disease and was so despondent over it that he was suicidal, etc., etc. "Tim Pool." Oh brother! This is why people on the real left will not let you smear him. Clear now?

  4.  @debutts7723  As for AOC, and Bernie's latest comment, they are demoralizing. I'm not saying they cannot walk back from them, or that ultimately they will not accomplish anything real. I am saying that the disappointment we've had in all the Democratic administrations since Reagan came to power in the 1980s, and the DNC's de facto embrace of Reaganism, has been a disaster. A COMPLETE and utter disaster. Why do you think US/UK are in the worst shape of any developed countries at the moment? This has become dangerous. This isn't a joke any more, or a photo op, or a vehicle for selling merch.

  5.  @debutts7723  Okay, neither do I, Mr. Butts. Or Ms. Whatever.

  6.  @debutts7723  By the way, I see you're subscribed to various gun enthusiast channels and such, not to any progressive ones, with the arguable exception of Joe Rogan. So interesting. I wonder where you get your information on Dore and his role, good or bad, in progressive causes.

  7.  @debutts7723  But your observations aren't true. So, I wanted to see how you present yourself on this platform, in case it might shed some light on why you say things that aren't true. Of course, that might not work, but it seemed to be worth a look. Anyone who prefers privacy has my blessing, that's for sure. I only joined YouTube during the hard shutdown in my state, due to COVID. I see the downside of being here, absolutely. It is probably greater than the benefit. (That's usually the case with any "social media.")

  8.  @debutts7723  Dore does not excoriate Republicans to the same extent as DNC and its lackeys because anyone with a brain knows the Republicans will NEVER serve anyone's interests apart from the oligarchs, and hardly pretend to. They try to foment absurd culture wars, and DNC chomps on the bait. Why not? They both serve the same class. I wonder how you explain the fact that both Chris Hedges and Richard Wolff just came on Dore's show. I will be frank: I was surprised. Hedges had worse to say about AOC, by the way. Namely, that he never expected better. Jimmy Dore is so angry because he did. I don't endorse everything he says, nor even his general approach (Wolff had constructive criticism), but I understand why he reacts as he does. Also, since you called me "some Joe Schmoe on the Internet," to whom you need not "prove anything," you practically invited me to look you up! You need to get that clue.

  9.  @debutts7723  There has been no "Dore about-face." As fo "these guys," Hedges and Wolff, they are both rich -- as in, independently wealthy. They have absolutely no need to appear on Dore. The suggestion that they might is preposterous. It's a risk for them, if anything! As for the rest, you've distorted what I've said. Of course. Have it your way. As a matter of fact, the neolibs almost did lose the election to Trump, as anyone who is objective must see. If they took the Trump threat seriously, why did they run Biden/Harris? Why didn't they start in November 2016 to plan for 2020, to run a truly popular candidate? This election should have been a landslide for Democrats, not one where they barely won the White House from that menace, and lost seats in the House. (BTW, every more progressive Democrat won, and it was two progressives who handed over the Senate to Democrats, FINALLY. The DNC types barely hung on.) Anyway, keep it up. Who cares?

  10.  @debutts7723  Nice how you pretended I didn't say this -- early on, in fact: "At any rate, it's obvious you don't follow Dore, which is certainly your prerogative, and I know he is not to everyone's taste -- understandably not. But if you don't follow Dore, then you do not know where he fits in the left wing landscape, or why a Cornel West, Richard Wolff, Chris Hedges, Max Blumenthal, Briahna Joy Gray, Matt Stoller, etc., etc., will come on his show, and will defend him to a large extent, even when they disapprove of certain tactics he uses. You don't know he was a bricklayer, you don't know he was the youngest of 12 children and grew up without a bookshelf in the house, you don't know he had to declare medical bankruptcy due to a rare disease and was so despondent over it that he was suicidal, etc., etc." If you don't like Trump, don't imitate his lack of candor. BTW, do you think Dr. West needs to be on Dore? LOL . . . I mean, how farfetched can you get?

  11.  @debutts7723  Speaks to his bona fides. The noliberal elites create the conditions for Trump.

  13.  @debutts7723  Hedges has his own show. Wolff is an Ivy Leaguer with a nice retirement income, teaches at New School for fun, and has taught at Pantheon-Sorbonne. (You think any of these people need YouTube? Do they also need Facebook? LOL) You have heard of book royalties? No, I don't like Dore's f-bombs. Big deal. He's got some trauma going on. Real people make allowances for that.

  14.  @debutts7723  Does Dore have a fan club? The only blog I support and have ever supported is Glenn Greenwald's, since his departure from The Intercept. His is the only charity I could wholeheartedly get behind, as well -- homeless people looking after abandonned dogs in Brazil. He is a noble guy. Why wouldn't prominent people go on Dore? ALL of YOUR posts answer that question. You're really irrational. Sorry to hear you like guns.

  15.  @debutts7723  I don't identify as an America or see myself in anyone here. Parents met in refugee camp, American by accident of birth, get my inspiration from French left, Lain American left, etc. Of course don't get most of my news here, or in English. Plan to emigrate permanently. . . . So much for all that.

  17.  @debutts7723  The results of your efforts are on display for all the world to see. Your "left" is every civilized person's center-right. Your right veers off into flagrant fascism. Glad the other 95% (of humanity who live elsewhere) now know where this leads. Best possible outcome, given the circumstances.

  19. Start by not calling yourself "debutts" why don't you? Since you're so smart about politics.
