@Tilip Muejark The covid 1% mortality rate is 5x higher than the automobile accident mortality rate. Do you think street lights, speed limits, seatbelt laws, child seat laws, helmet laws, drinking and driving laws, licensing, vehicle safety standards, etc., are fascism?
The polio paralysis rate is 2x lower, and the mortality rate 20x lower, than the covid mortality rate. Do you think mandating the polio vaccine for public school students and immigrants is fascism?

@Tilip Muejark France, Spain, and Italy, also had pretty shitty responses, especially early on. The covid deaths per capita of countries like Germany, Canada, Norway, Denmark, Finland, who had mediocre responses, would translate into 300k+ fewer covid deaths in the US. Better, but yes, they could have done even better. Those countries tended to quickly get their testing rates up to 15+ people per confirmed case (the US, UK, France, Italy, and Spain, had testing rates lower than 10 people, for some time). Countries like S Korea, Vietnam, New Zealand, and Australia, quickly got their testing rates over 50 people per confirmed case. Their covid deaths per capita rates would translate into under 20k total covid deaths in the US.
Most of the US deaths, now, are people not listening to Biden, aren't they? The same folks Dumpty encouraged to not wear masks and rise up against lockdowns.

@timtpr7104 Oh boy, a plan to get a 100% guaranteed to fail performance art vote, by paralyzing the house ... delaying new covid relief, new unemployment extension, new vaccine funding ... during a pandemic, if they don't do what you want. You Dore knobs know that Pelosi introduced the M4A bill just last session, right, and it died in the committees Jimmy doesn't think are important. Where was the pressure on committee members to take up the bill? She has already reintroduced the bill this session. Where is the pressure on committee members to take up the bill?
Progressives did get the $15 to stay in for a round of voting, it actually passed the house (M4A didn't have a chance in hell) and also got a senate vote. Suddenly, just getting a vote on an important progressive policy wasn't worth anything to Dore knobs. Suddenly, getting a list of no voters wasn't worth anything to Dore knobs. Just keep bitching about, and slandering, the most progressive members of congress.

@2727rogers You're lying. A handful of Canadian parliament members do not have the power to paralyze parliament, did not paralyze parliament, did not threaten to paralyze parliament. Canada's healthcare system is more like Medicaid for all, and is a province/federal partnership, with the provinces actually running it. It was started by one province, others followed, and then the federal government got involved and made it nationwide.
Progressive politicians, TYT, Packman, MJ, and others were just heavily promoting, or campaigning for, Nina Turner, trying to add another M4A yes vote to congress, because getting enough yes votes in congress is the only possible way to ever pass M4A. Dore, on the other hand, abandoned Nina, abandoned adding another M4A yes vote to congress. He's a grifter. He doesn't actually care if anyone else ever gets healthcare.

@2727rogers Anyone who voted Republican, because Democrats let them down, sure as hell didn't have M4A as a priority. And it wouldn't be enough to add significantly more progressive seats. Plenty came back, or came out of the non voter woodwork, to vote psycho Dumpty out of office, to get the current seating, which is what I used as my example.
Yeah, the senate shouldn't exist, and the 1930s bill that froze the number of house seats also froze the number of electorals, which has made the electoral college increasingly disproportionate, all of which benefits the right, already giving them more power than they deserve. Drastically splitting the votes, while they remain united and have those added benefits (as well as gerrymandering), would be political suicide.
Canada also shouldn't have a senate, btw. It's like still having an unelected house of lords.

@henrywallace2257 Nope. He said Trump was far worse, and then used that to argue he was the better option for progressives. He vastly overestimated the benefits, claiming it would result in a massive progressive backlash, that would "for sure" lead to progressives taking the house (didn't happen) and senate (didn't happen), in 2018, and the presidency (didn't happen), in 2020. He vastly underestimated the risks, claiming even Republicans would join the left to vote against a Trump agenda (didn't happen), rather than follow him into all out fascism (did happen), and that Trump filling multiple scotus seats (did happen) was as likely as the moon falling into Lake Michigan (hasn't happened, still waiting).

@johnsmith92704 What the f*ck does Assange actually have to do with left wing policies? Right wingers already like WikiLeaks, more than the left probably. They're already fine with pardoning anyone they like, even war criminals, crooks, and whatnot. They obviously weren't moved to any serious effort to get Trump to pardon him.
Dore mostly just agrees with Tucker, when he goes on. Before getting to Assange, Dore agreed with Tucker about Trump getting booted from social media, without once reminding capitalists that there's no such thing as free speech on someone else's private property and that you get free speech rights with public ownership ... without once reminding right wing psychos that things like incitement and defamation aren't even protected speech anyway. And, this being right before the second, well deserved, impeachment, Dore then let all the right wing nuts know that he agreed with them that the first impeachment was all hooey, helping to fuel the idea that the second one would be, as well.
There's zero evidence that Dore is changing any significant numbers of right wing minds. I run across plenty of right wing trolls, that just use Dore bullshit against progressives to support their own right wing bullshit.
