+my view - What? Jimmy is not a centrist, wtf are you talking about. Jimmy is about as far left as it comes. You probably don't even realize that far left and far right align on so many things already to begin with. It's because it's not about left vs right, it's about populism vs corporatism.

Maddow is the one that is center right trying to cause interventionism with Russia. She is center right for all her other policies too. Anyone that doesn't support Medicare for All shouldn't even be considered as being on the "left".

+Cegesh - You're right. Maddow is NOT "left". She is center right at best, so any right-wingers using her as an 'example for the left' is full of themselves.

Exactly. Maddow and the corporate Democrats are center right. There is no debating that fact.

+TheZodiacz - There's that, but it's also because she cheerleads for Wall Street and Big Banks and backs half measures like the ACA that allow insurance companies to profitize off the sick instead of backing Medicare for All, which is really the only leftist policy on healthcare in this country. Her bias for the establishment is massive.

@asdfasdf3989 No, I'm pretty sure she definitely is. Neoliberals, in general, are center-right to the point where they basically align with centrist Republicans like John Kasich on 95% of all policies that don't have to do with social norms and gun control.

They were criticizing the deal as not doing anything at all considering how it doesn't denuke North Korea in the slightest. You are right they criticized the part about pulling troops off the DMZ due to not getting anything in return, but they didn't "want provocative war games". I don't think you're being truthful on that point. At least give them a fair analysis, they said it was better than the alternative (war) just as every other progressive channel has stated. I watch all progressive media and they were all essentially saying the same thing except TYT was just criticizing the terms of the deal more than anyone else around the point that it didn't do much at all.

@asdfasdf3989 The Overton Window is already leftward, you just don't realize it. You go issue for issue and the average American is overwhelmingly in agreement with the populist Left. People like Rachel Maddow have the same financial goals as neocons and center-right goons like Joe Biden and John Kasich, where they only care about preserving the status quo and benefits for the rich. There is no real substantive difference outside cultural issues, they agree on all the shit that matters that allows them to run out the backdoor with all the money.

Jimmy just stop. Trump's still bombing 8 different countries and perpetuating a war and genocide in Yemen. This whole thing is just retarded optics. Sure it's better than the alternative, but it's like you're giving him credit for not idiotically starting a war like we all thought could easily happen with Trump. Yes, Maddow's a dumb bitch who is basically a conspiracy theorist now, welcome to 2018 when nearly half of all journalists are conspiracy theorists. Trump is the furthest thing from a peace-maker though. He doesn't get that right until he STOP BOMBING 8 COUNTRiES.

To any of the Dore viewers, pathetically defending and fawning over Trump. All I have to say to you is that Trump is bombing 8 different countries right now.

+FerreusNRG - Yeah agreed. None of it really matters at this point anyway. And yeah, you're right I don't think the soldiers are pulling off yet, but I was alluding to what +Adi Ahmad was claiming about TYT and was just clearing up that the main thing they were criticizing was how Trump had originally tried to put that in the deal how US troops would pull off the DMZ and pull out of South Korea entirely. What happened was that Trump made that promise to Kim, but then both South Korea and the US Department of Defense were surprised as hell by it and basically nothing really came from it in the end because they all knew it was a bad idea for whatever reason. Trump kind of just made the promise/concession without warning anybody about it first, so I don't think it will actually happen, but it was the main thing TYT was criticizing Donald Trump for about the deal and how that would've been a huge concession for a vain promise to denuclearize, which I don't think was necessarily anything to categorize them as 'warmongers' for it or claiming they're as bad as MSM.

+Anterior - Yeah except Maddow's not on the 'left'. Maddow is center right at best. I would make the argument that anyone who is not in favor of Medicare for All is not even on the left whatsoever. Unfortunately the average American doesn't know that though.
