@aggressiveattitudeera887 He's left, he's always been anti-imperialist and pro working class and I respect that of him but that doesn't mean he's always right nor that doesn't have negative traits nor that he can't be an opportunist. Also, I sometimes wonder if he's coked up some of the time.

@alexusbratva878 He still stands for those things and is anti-imperialist as ever. And pro working class. But Jimmy's hatred for neo-liberalism is allowing him to get played by the conservative right, and worse thing is he probably knows it but see's it as not being a bad thing because on the one hand it helps him financially. And on the other hand he wants the political narrative to be old school left vs the right. Not neo-liberals with a progressive slant vs the right.

@nocturnalrecluse1216 Liberals are the left? Not necessarily, classical liberals are conservative right wing. Neo liberals are super corporate capitalist and only use progressive values to virtue signal. And progressive liberals who actually are of the left have an increasing tendency to be easily placated by the neo liberals and play into their agenda, if neo-lib shows they support certain progressive causes (that don't hurt their pocket/bottom line) and are against the hard right. Even when the poor keep getting poorer, and the rich keep getting richer. And that's what pisses off people like Dore. Not saying I'm a big Jimmy Dore fan either, I think he's increasingly brash and self aggrandizing but I understand where his stand point is coming from.

@nocturnalrecluse1216 I didn't say they are a good thing. In fact I even called them out for what they are, right wing conservative so I don't know what your angle is, it's as if you are trying to make me out to be one. My point was just that liberals are not necessarily of the left, for some they want liberalism for economics and markets primarily and don't give two hoots for the poor. And the same can be said for neo-liberals in that regard.

I actually agree with Dore's positions more than I do with Cenks. But despite that I also think he can be very rude, inappropriate under the guise of 'i'm a comedian' and is possibly on coke half the time.
