  7. +SeekerOfTruth - I never said they weren't virtually the same thing, because when you strip away all the flair, they are on the core issues that matter to Americans. That is something I will actually say compared to some of the Trump supporters who have started to watch Jimmy because he bashes on Dems so much, who will claim Trump is "a president for the people". My only argument though is that at least the majority of the Democrats don't actively work to deregulate Wall Street (Vote: 10 Dems compared to all the Republicans), pass huge tax cuts for the 1% and corporations (Vote: 0 Dems and all Republicans), and try to completely take healthcare away from 20 million people (Vote: 0 Dems and almost all the Republicans). Sure, when the Democrats have a super majority, they won't do shit and will half-ass progress every step of the way, but that is still better than regression back to prehistoric times, which is all we will get with Republicans fully in power, who will just keep making the same mistakes over and over again like deregulating the economy to cause another Recession and passing tax cuts until the rich pay absolutely nothing. I personally do not want to go through another Recession. I still vote for the progressive every single time I get in a voting booth because that's voting for real change, but I'm not going to act like the Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans on everything because they statistically and politically are not even though they're all just as corrupt and when it comes down to core issues like workers rights, poor people, and protecting their precious corporations.

  32. He says "I can't believe Bernie, do you really think he's going to gain control of the Democratic Party? He's only endorsed 4 people. He's telling everyone to start running he's only endorsed 4 people so far (Jimmy smirks at the camera). It's not super transparent where those endorsements are even. And now Bernie is afraid to come on the show." "They haven't responded to us"(Ron). "It's not like they don't know who we are, we're a popular show, but he'll go on Anderson Cooper and other corporate jackasses. The people around Bernie are old white guys and their not the most in touch people in the world let's just put it that way... I'm not trying to undermine Bernie's agenda, I'm trying to push it." -- That is entirely debatable since he is essentially undermining him every chance he gets about Bernie not running in the general as a 3rd Party candidate or creating a new party as if that's the best use of his time instead of the "Guaranteed Jobs" Act he just proposed giving a job with a livable wage to every person who wants one to rebuild American infrastructure. Also, compared to some of his viewers in this comment section that is barely anything, but look around this comment section and you will see people calling Bernie a "corporate puppet" and that nobody should support him anymore because he backed Clinton after he lost the primary. It's fucking sad, and I don't think Jimmy's supporters would be as hostile and smearing Bernie nearly as much if Jimmy wasn't doing it himself and always implying that Bernie is some kind of lost cause because he won't do what Jimmy wants, which is not his most pressing concern. To do what Jimmy wants that is.

  34. +codingkriggs - You may think that, but I'm not so sure a lot of his followers actually think that way. The fact that Jimmy hammers into their heads that the Democrats are the penultimate evil in the world kind of automatically lessens the impact of all the terrible shit the Republicans do every day. It's because they constantly do terrible shit and Jimmy Dore almost never reports on any of it anymore unless it fits his agenda. That is dangerous in my opinion, because although there are many Dore viewers that are intelligent enough to know this fact that Trump and GOP are much worse, I also think the other portion of his viewers are now under the belief that Republicans are the lesser of two evils, which is absolute dog shit especially with the number of Justice Democrats and new progressives joining the Democratic party today. It is getting better and better for progressives as time goes by and the Democratic Party is transforming slowly. Unfortunately, I feel like Jimmy Dore and his agenda are only hurting this transformation and pitting progressives against each other and causing infighting with the movement. The fact that he is all but smearing Bernie in this video because Bernie "won't start a new party" or because he "won't come on our show" is absolute horse shit and Jimmy Dore should stop and think what he's doing for once. Even Rob Placone looked a little baffled when Jimmy was shitting all over Bernie. I honestly am not surprised though. I also knew this day would come.
