Comments by "" (@thehumanity0) on "No, Jimmy Dore Is NOT The Fox News Of The Left" video.

Telma Elma Jimmy Dore is not a progressive. All he ever does is attack progressives like Bernie and Ocasio-Cortez. He didn't even report on how Bernie raised Amazon's minimum wage to $15 an hour. For being the BernieOrBust guy, he's really done a 180 in the past 2 years. All he ever does anymore is give false equivalencies as a way of working backwards from his conclusions, which seems to be "we need a new party", "the Dems and Republicans are the same", and "Russia never interfered in 2016". Not to mention that constant Whataboutism. Find 1 day of his show or even 1 video where he doesn't rail against forest-lady Hillary.

It's not just the false equivalencies and Whataboutism, it's also the way he lies by omission. A good example of such is when he did a story on Tucker Carlson's coverage of corporate welfare and Bernie's "Stop BEZOS" bill, in which Jimmy completely omitted the portion of Carlson's story where he flipped the problem on its head and claimed it was the "left" that was causing corporate welfare and the only way to fix it is with deregulation and less government, the exact thing those multi-billion corporations want as well. Jimmy picks and chooses stories and clips (9 second CNN clip in Cortez's case) that only fit his agenda, and he nearly always works backwards from his conclusion by doing so.

@Mr S Voting is the only weapon the people have in this corporate aristocracy. That's why you vote in the primary, so you don't have to vote between two piles of trash in the general. We finally get people in the general who are good candidates like Ocasio-Cortez and Jimmy Dore is the first and only one to trash her for totally innocuous comments she made while she was getting smeared by Jake Tapper on Med4All and having campaigned for Cynthia Nixon in the primary to force out Cuomo.

I don't think any of these shows are "funny". I don't watch any of these shows for comedy, I watch them for substance. Jimmy and Michael Brookes are neither John Stewart, and honestly, I think Michael Brookes shines best when he's serious and thoughtful as he is here, I really dislike it when he tries to randomly throw humor into stories. Jimmy Dore almost hides behind his comedy though as a way to excuse any shitting reporting he does like when he says "I'm just a jerkoff comedian, I'm not supposed to be accurate".

@TheJdmartinjax You're shouting about the "DEMOCRATS" as if the Republicans aren't the ones in full control of every single branch of government. This is the main issue with this framing, you think the Dems are the main priority for some reason when they're too weak in government to even filibuster a single Supreme Court nominee. How can you claim to be the 'anti-establishment' guy when you never criticize the party that owns the entire fucking establishment. Dems are desperately just trying to get a tiny little sliver of control back and you somehow equate that to 'Democrats are ruining the country'. You guys at the Jimmy Dore Show are constantly living 4 years in the past nearly only ever talking and railing against Obama, John Edwards, and forest-lady Hillary.

@Khuno2 "I see Dore more of a result of a failed comedy career". Ohh 100%. In fact, if you watched his most recent Joe Rogan interview, Jimmy explained how he was a failed comedian all his life and started suffering from Depression and almost killed himself a few years back, but at some point found an edge to become successful through political commentating. You can see he just uses his political angle as a tool to get sold out comedy club shows, which seems to be his dream or his original goals in the comedy industry. I think this explanation on Joe Rogan validates the fact that he's more of a careerist than anything and he was able to find a angle just like how Candace Owens or Dave Rubin were able to find an angle except his is somewhere in a gray area between far-left and somewhere on the right.
