Dore and Hinkle on the newly elected leftist President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro:- funded by George Soros- ushering in "woke ideology"- Petro's right wing rival, Rodolfo Hernández, was a populist, and "real lefty"- Petro is "faux-lefty", propped up by identity politics. pic.twitter.com/1wF1xjdPqd— Venerable Jorge 🇺🇦 (@Nitzky89) June 21, 2022
seriously watch the clip i feel like im losing my mind
I used to watch Dore but tbh his swing into parroting rightwing rhetoric dressed up as left populism (without any actual ideological critic) woke me up to the variety of grifters that can exist
Everyone has to immediately fall in line behind this random asshole they've never heard of, to pressure AOC to make a completely meaningless symbolic gesture, and if you don't if you don't give a shit about it then you're not a real leftist.
Oops now the random asshole is shilling horse pills.
Honestly it was a good bit, I admire reality's satire of online leftist infighting.
"Force the Vote" happened at a time when everyone was discouraged from Bernie losing and looking for a new direction (and many were looking them to distance themselves from him and the squad), and everyone was also bored af from being stuck inside due to COVID. That was a time period full of struggle sessions, because we all desperately wanted there to be drama because there wasn't anything interesting or important going on in our lives, so it was either engage with stupid internet bullshit, or go back to staring at a wall. I think half the people stanning him, at least on here where I saw it, hadn't even heard of him before Force the Vote and were just happy to have something to do.
In 2020 all you had to do was openly support Bernie and people would file you away in their brain as "left adjacent or close enough for now" and as long as you didn't do anything to make them re-access this you could skate by on that cred for along time. Dore is too great a fool to do that though so even if he hadn't latched on to the lucrative right wing grift circuit he'd be saying something else extremely stupid.
To think we used to have some Dore stans here

Same. I listened to him off and on for years. He always said he'd sell out for the right price and he is lol.

For the record, you’re cool enough that you could keep saying you don’t know and I’d believe you

I know more about v**sh than this nobody

Why does this guy (Dore) have any clout at all? I only know him through being dunked on here.
