Opinion Is Jimmy Dore right wing now?

[brothir]

The funny thing about the Republicans in this thread is that their arguments are self-refuting. If Dore isn't on the right, why are all his defenders partisan Republicans? You guys burn with hatred for the left generally, but you love Dore.

The self-aware "Oh no, I'm accidentally revealing myself to be a Dore fanboy" earlier in the thread kind of gave it away.

hilarious. Jimmy Dore is right wing.

I rememeber Dore as a progressive hero on the left when he spit on Alex Jones for The Young Turds. They would have stood on their tippy toes in line for 8 hours just to get on their knees and blow him back then.

The Young Turds were trash 10-15 years ago when Leftist hero Dore spit on Alex Jones, they are trash now too as disaffected liberals who left to pilfer from the right.

Yet another example of lefty progressives getting duped when it was obvious.

Your response suggested that you were totally unfamiliar with the argument. Now you're just saying it's "limp-wristed," which is critical with no content.

It certainly seems critical and lacking content when you remove 2/3s of my response from your quote explaining why i consider it a limp wristed argument.

Why is being against funding Ukraine an *anti*-war position? I think Dore pretty consistently sides with the far right, domestically and abroad--the GOP, Putin, Assad, Orban, Erdogan. And hating cops isn't leftist. That's just stupid.

Dunno, does he have any "right wing" positions, or is it just criticizing the people in power that automatically makes someone "right wing"?

If it's based entirely on who he's criticizing at the moment and can't point to any right wing positions he holds, then it's probably a you thing of just playing a team sport. Only positions of his that I'm aware of are universal healthcare, high minimum wage and in favor of unions, which aren't exactly right wing.

It's the democrats. If you don't bend the knee and clap like seals repeating their talking points ad naseum, your either far right or a Russian propagandist.

Whats ACAB mean @Jack V Savage ?

 

[fedoriswar37]

Jimmy Dore is your "All I do is praise Republicans and criticize Democrats" liberal* grifter, similar to Rogan.

His audience is entirely right wing

Ahh yes Joe Rogan, who was just recently giving kamala praise, has tons of left and far left people on his podcast,(including Bernie Sanders during election season) onlyyyyy criticizes democrats.

At some point you gotta stop yelling things to yourself in the mirror dude it can't be good for your health.

 

[johnmangala]

When is the last time he's spent significant time arguing FOR a genuine left position: free college, universal healthcare, unions, medical debt forgiveness-- anything like that?

There's your answer to whether or not he is "on the left."

Exactly he barely does now. Now it’s all about woke this woke that

 

[djacobox372]

Jimmy Dore has no held beliefs... he just takes whatever stance that makes him the most $$

BTW: this is true of 90% of political columnist.

This is true. I actually just saw this on Twitter and pretty relevant to your point. That is why independents have lately been coming to the Trump movement, between the COVID censorship and complete kowtowing to big oharma, covering for Biden both his shit policies and dementia, and to even revisiting Trump hoaxes and now seeing the truth.

Now that more and more independents and even former democrats are embracing the MAGA movement, it will begin to permeate to low information voters.

 

[luckyshot]

Is being anti war not leftist anymore? Hes against funding Ukraine, hes against what Israel is doing in Gaza. He still hates cops.

That's more generic anti-establishment. Defense spending is the most bipartisan issue there is.

Yeah, but you goofs trust Fox, OAN, Newsmax and, like, whatever conspiracy gets shit out on Twitter.

Please stop pretending your side is full of critical thinkers; you're just sheep in a crazier pen.

This video i will link was posted 5 hours ago. Please feel free to explain how its anything but leftist. He litterally goes to bat for workers owning companies and praises socialst policy. Also you had asked about Unions he went to bat for them and had the head of the rail road union on a year ago? Maybe 2? When Biden and his cabinet refused to give them time off. Heres the new video:

Ok, peaches.

I fully recognize that the various msm outlets have their various biases and slants.

But what news source doesn't?

The problem isn't that I think the msm is without fault, it is that you people think this is some kind of revelation...

All the while you look at "alt media" sources that are usually just as bad if not worse.

 

[steveflynn]

Has jimmy dore ever said how he’s voted in elections? Like in 2008, 2012, 16, 20 ?

I'm not watching that long ass shit.

But if Jimmy Dore is spending as much time these days actively arguing for leftist causes and shitting on Trump as he does shitting on Democrats, then good for him.

That was not my experience the last time I watched him.

I dont know that 16 minutes qualifies as "long ass shit" but it is 2024 and people cant be bothered to have any kind of attention span.

To me Jimmy is a Leftie who is self thinking and not a zealot.

No, the whole post was lacking content. The argument is that dividing a caucus and taking unpopular stances is worth it when it leads to good results, but not when it would lead to bad results (in this case, not only not passing M4A, but also rolling back existing gov't-provided insurance). You said nothing of substance to address that.

I'm sure if someone said that they supported putting America under Christian rule and that cutting taxes for rich people was the most important issue but that their fellow rightists should support Democrats because Republicans are all evil monsters, you would totally buy that they're true rightists.
