@A_Derpy_NINJA Do you even know what a "grift" is? Sure, he says stuff, but the whole point is that he's selling himself as something he's not.
In 2016, Dore promoted Trump (platform: kick 10m of the poorest Americans off of Medicaid expansion) as the better option than Clinton (platform: add 40m older Americans to Medicare expansion). He also promoted the idea that Stein had a shot. If he convinced even a single swing state voter not to bother going out to vote against Trump, or to vote Stein, then he helped Trump win.
For the 2020 primaries, he promoted Tulsi (public option) over Bernie (M4A). If he convinced even a single person not to vote Bernie, then he helped Bernie lose. Then, he spent the general running a constant attack ad campaign against Trump's only remaining viable opponent, again trying to help Trump win.
A disagreement over a performance art vote was enough for him to portray other progressives as enemies, and then he turns around and promotes allying with far right nutty ancap Boogaloos, that want a civil war. That's the kind of idiot move that lands you on the wrong side of a Night of the Long Knives.
He goes on Tucker mainly to agree with him.
He abandoned Nina Turner ... abandoned adding another M4A advocate to congress.
He, again, is promoting third party fantasies, to draw off progressive votes, and hand power to Republicans, just as the broader progressive caucus is about 15 seats away from becoming the majority of house Dems.
He slanders progressives that have done more for M4A in a few years than he has in his entire lifetime, to try and get people to lose confidence in them.
He, at least, benefits the right more than the left.

@A_Derpy_NINJA You clearly don't know Dore's "argument" for promoting Trump as the better option than Clinton. He agreed Trump was worse, agreed he was a raving fascist, but claimed letting the psycho win would lead to a massive progressive backlash. He vastly overestimated the benefits, claiming it would result in progressives "for sure" taking the house in 2018 (wrong), taking the senate in 2018 (wrong), and the presidency in 2020 (wrong). He vastly underestimated the risks, claiming even Republican lawmakers would join the left in voting against a Trump agenda (wrong), and that Trump filling multiple scotus seats was as likely as the moon falling into Lake Michigan (wrong). To argue Clinton would have been worse is both completely moronic and not, at all, what Dore argued. And, Dore thinking to let him win, again, after all his predictions were wrong, and after Trump helped kill hundreds of thousands of Americans, is psychotic.
Did you know there's a big world out there, beyond the US, and US government agents? Doctors across the world support the vaccine. Peru has had one of, if not the, highest uses of Ivermectin, in the world, and also has the highest covid deaths per capita rate, in the world. A large Ivermectin study was pulled from publications, when it was found to be fraudulent, with fabricated and faulty data. Why the need to fabricate results, if it works? Did you know Ivermectin is also owned by a giant pharma company?
Dore goes on Tucker to rant and rave about Democrats and progressives, often agreeing with the far right arguments, and Tucker nods along. Dore has never really challenged Tucker, or his audience, about anything.
