Old but Gold from Jimmy Dore

“Trump is not the problem, he’s a symptom of the problem.

Why do you think people voted for Trump? Because everything is going great in their lives?

Trump didn’t take us to Iraq, Trump didn’t pass NAFTA, Trump didn’t bail out the banks and screw the home owners.

If people actually knew what Bill Clinton and Barack Obama actually did, they would be screaming bloody murder.

The Democratic Party completely turned their back on workers, they got in bed with Wall Street and Silicon Valley.

In order to get better we have to come to terms with this. We have to come to terms with what’s wrong.

People are hurting, half the country is POOR you assholes!

When both parties turn their back on the workers their gonna go to a demigod (Trump)

Which is why Hilary lost to an orange clown.

-Jimmy Dore

A true liberal.

Trump just looks like a dude who wreaks of shit.

What was this thread about?
 
Jimmy needs to evolve.

When Trump is legitimately the only person who can arm Saudi Arabia after Congress says no, then yes, he is 100% the problem.
 
Well, yeah and most still don't get it. It kills me how out of touch people are when they tell me I vote against my interests if I vote conservative. er..... if you think the left is addressing the issues of the middle class, you are a retard.

We could put sherdogs own xcvbn in charge and I bet you're selling Saudi Arabia arms by tomorrow.
 
I am a Conservative/Libertarian.... and I 100% respect Jimmy Dore. He one of the Liberals I follow. The man is honest.

I’m sure you (as I) disagree with him on certain things, but as a liberal myself my god I respect his willingness to call OUT the democrats like Obama and Hilary.

Nah gullible rubes who can’t read a room actually believed his bullshit.

That’s the problem
 
Sounds like one of the few true Liberals.

As Rare as the Siberian Tiger.

Just because he's a CTer? Not sure what makes him a true liberal beyond the nutty attacks on the political left. IMO, a true liberal is someone who values reason above all else and rejects CTism.

Yanis Varoufakis had kind of the same thoughts.

He basically attributed the failure of the Obama administration to penalize the very wealthy for the credit crunch and instead putting a burden on the tax payer is what resulted in Trump. Somehow the .01 percent became ridiculously wealthier from the crash and rebound and everyone else had to eat cake.

Slavoj Zizek also points out that the disaster of Trump was a symptom, and not a cause.

It's really not much of a rebellious position to take to be honest. Generally people wouldn't resort to comedians or amateur celebrities with little knowledge and experience if there wasn't inherent glaring faults in the system of politicians doing what they should be, fighting for the betterment of the populace instead of looking after the interest of the elite class much more so than everyone else.

If it had been passed off as a VivaRev OP, I would have been fooled, without batting an eye.
