  1.  @emblemedfate4270  Remember when Jimmy promoted Trump as the better option for progressives than Clinton, not caring if the ACA would get repealed and millions lost their healthcare, and argued that Trump filling multiple scotus seats was as likely as the moon falling into Lake Michigan? He vastly overestimates potential benefits and vast underestimates potential risks.

  2.  @Stickyfingers420  Dore was arguing to "withhold" votes for Pelosi, not arguing to cast protest votes against Pelosi, and he misinformed people, claiming it would be impossible for McCarthy to win because 218 votes are needed to get the majority of the house. But, it's actually the majority of votes cast, and for every 2 abstentions, "present", absentees, or unfilled seats, it lowers the threshold needed to win by 1, because those don't count as votes. Pelosi just won with 216, even though Jimmy claimed 218 was needed, and slandered anyone who said otherwise. If the 15 progressives Dore named, simply "withheld" their votes, then the threshold needed to win would be lowered to 210 (one unfilled seat makes 16, 218 - 8 = 210). That would give McCarthy (212) more votes than Pelosi (209), and the majority of votes cast. He'd win.

  3. He's acting like Trump, slandering anyone who doesn't back his election tactics.

  4.  @wizzalamaru8794  Paralyzing the house during a pandemic ... no new covid relief, no new unemployment extensions, no new vaccine funding, etc., also not very progressive. Just to get a vote guaranteed to fail. Not sure most people would support suffering to try and get a show vote. The progressive caucus doesn't yet have the majority of the Dem caucus, and can't actually pick a different party speaker. Corporate Dems could keep picking Pelosi over and over and over again, or someone worse. If progressives can make a good showing in 2022, they might get the majority, could pick the speaker, and could put progressive bills up for votes as often as they like.

  5.  @LeShawnTho  What "truth" is there in claiming a woman, who just used her platform and PAC to help get more pro-M4A progressives elected to congress, going against DCCC backed corporate Dems, is a "fake", "shill", "wimp", "sellout", etc.? Especially when adding more yes votes to congress is the only way to ever pass a bill, and it's what you'd still have to do even after a failed vote.

  6.  @nfb4027  Lol, you likely think a guy with his own healthcare, and non public garage job, flinging slander, is political action.

  8.  @harveymanfredsenjenson5417  You clearly do.

  9.  @StoneyHoliday  But, king of the progressives, and M4A champion, Jimmy Dore, paints himself as a left wing man of the people, and administer of the progressive purity test ... which amounts to following a single half baked idea of his, or you're out of the club. Surely, he only promotes the most leftist of candidates.

  10.  @tony9238  He didn't say to cast a protest vote. He said to "withhold" votes. And he slandered anyone who said the speakership could be won with less than 218 votes. Pelosi just won with 216. He didn't have a clue how the vote actually works.

  11. That's the earliest you could replace people after a failed vote, as well, dimwit.
