Lot of people think he’s a useful idiot for the right now. But is he fully right wing? He claims he’s on the left but every vid is shitting on dems and ignores everything bad the right does. He’s not even a centerist who attacks both equally he primarily attacks the left and claims to be on the left.

I’ve thought this for a while but lately once Tim walz was chosen as VP I thought he would have some positives to say. He’s not even attacking him from the left instead he’s always attacking from the right.

Grift gets thrown around too loosely? But I feel this is what’s happened here. Hbu?
 
No. The guy is an anti-war socialist. The problem we really have is that the "Left" has went "Far Left" placing what was middle of the road a decade ago onto the right side of the spectrum.

Elon shared this visual which seems accurate to everyone except the Left Cult.

And the pet names y'all give to your political masters and their rivals is weird.

There are some good pundits on the left, right, and center. Noah Smith, Matt Yglesias, Alex Tabbarok, Steven Pinker, Tyler Cowen, Nate Silver, Richard Hanania, Ross Douthat, Paul Krugman, Jon Chait, Scott Alexander, Kevin Drum, NNT, Yuval Levin, Bryan Caplan, Ezra Klein, etc. Not endorsing any of their views in particular (impossible since many disagree). There are also a lot of straight-up hacks and grifters.

He wants free healthcare for all and legalized weed. Jimmy Dore is critical of Democrats right now because he believes they have abandoned all their principles.

He does criticize Donald Trump.

Democrats sucking Pharma's dick for donations is them abandoning everything they were supposed to stand for.

Pharma keeps both sides well paid, Congress allows them to keep advertising on TV.

We've gone from 4-5 childhood vaccines to almost 70 because Congress granted them immunity from any damage their products may cause. Ask yourselves... Are kids healthier today than we were in the 70's/80's & 90's? lol... C'mon

And nows there's a country full of people taking 5 to 6 different prescriptions at any time...
 
He's right-wing because he supports left-wing policies and criticizes the people who claim to support the same things not implementing them when they had power? To me that sounds like he's an independent thinking left-winger who doesn't toe the party line.

no one "on the left" gives a shit about jimmy dore. he's like Tim Pool, only right wing dorks pay attention to him because of their pathetic need for confirmation bias.

How about Sam Harris, David Pakman, Doug Murray or Hitchens (when he was alive ofcourse).

Tim Poole is absolutely brilliant and Glenn Greenwald seems to be getting sharper and less grifty with age. The west would be in shambles without their top tier journalism.

Sorry but Tim Pool is the only liberal my brain has room for right now. I’m sure this Jimmy guy is cool maybe I’ll check him out another time.

Watching the whole SherFront crew try to fellate this unfunny comedian is oddly satisfying.

They're so committed to staying in their characters that they can never admit this guy is obviously a common tier grifter. Alex Jones too.
 
I don't think it's a case of right or left. I think he's just gone crazy.

He's angry and frustrated by imperfect allies who can't pass whatever purity test he makes up on the spot. So he sees them as enemies. When he attacks people on the left for not passing his purity test the right embraces him. They give him a platform, a pat on the head, maybe a cookie.

Outside of that he's just unwell. He seems obesessive, vindictive, paranoid, irrational, ideologically and morally inconsistent.

A few years ago I'd watch some of his videos, but over time it just felt like watching a man unravel. It felt gross and voyeristic.
