Tulsi Gabbard voted against AOC’s amendment which would have prohibited the military from recruiting young children on Twitch— Bhavik Lathia (@bhaviklathia) July 31, 2020
"The DNC and Clinton hate Tulsi, so Dore loves Tulsi. It’s that simple. Don’t go looking for depth in shallow waters."
This is a great simplification of his position, Dore put his faith in Tulsi's anti war message since she was a serving military officer and sitting member of congress believing it gave weight to her position (however weak it was in hindsight), and after she endorsed biden he also turned his critique on her:
In one of the live streams he had after her endorsement of biden, he admitted the he felt fooled by her campaign. Sadly he never uploaded that segment to the youtube channel as I considered it one of his greater moments. This experience, combined with his knowledge of the Bernie campaigns internal drama (a reality that the Chapo community has yet to reconcile themselves with), and Bernies lack of action in the face of COVID all led to his current hardline anti-electoralism stance, and focus on promoting direct action and providing tools to the working class currently being robbed and oppressed by the ruling class. He has also switched retorical focus to regularly describing members of the progressive caucus as cowards for staying silent and deferring to democratic leadership thereby selling out workers.
Im not saying Dore is perfect or even that Jimmy will give you the deep theoretical basis leftist seem to crave so they can nerd out in endless discussion, but I find his segments valuable, and his moral compass true.
Thanks for the info, I didn't know that. I agree that Jimmy's moral compass is good and he has some brighter days. But sometimes he's stubborn and doesn't seem to take in information when deciding an issue. And he's a bit black-and-white with a lot of politicians - he was too into Tulsi and too harsh on her genuine critics.
