Comments by "" (@thehumanity0) on "Heartless Meghan McCain Lies About Medicare-For-All And Canada On The View" video.
I see Jimmy Dore as an progressive ally and like his take on policy, but I think he's foolish and lost on the strategy he supports on how to get that policy. Unlike pretty much ALL other progressives, he only supports the 3rd party avenue to victory for progressives when basically everyone else realizes that we need to beat the corporate Democrats and Republicans using all battlegrounds and attack them on multiple fronts not just through the Green party or as Independents. There have been more progressive primary wins this year than any year in living memory and we know for certain that the strategy of doing a hostile takeover of the Democratic party is working. Everyone should still support the 3rd party candidates especially if they're in the general against a corporate Democrat or Republican, but the momentum is just not there and we rarely ever see a 3rd party candidate with a decent chance. The system is just too rigged against them and Jimmy doesn't ever want to acknowledge the problems with it or admit it and constantly seems to want to sabotage and speak out against the strategy of beating the Dems in their own primaries. If we all did Jimmy's strategy, it would take a 100 years to see change and 150 years to get Medicare for All passed. I'm with him 100% on the policies, but he's foolish as hell when it comes to everything else. I say that as a progressive that actually wants CHANGE and actually wants Bernie to be president in 2020, whereas Jimmy has now devolved into just attacking Bernie and calling him a "sheepdog". A strategy that is NOT HELPING progressives in the slightest. Bernie has all the momentum going into 2020 and Jimmy's too caught up with his own agenda and his own pride to even give a shit that Bernie has the best chance of being president next election cycle.
