              Jimmy Dore doesn't speak to the educated/theory-reading demographic, but he does have a huge audience. He speaks to an older/non-reading public who doesn't know what the fuck is going on, but hates/distrusts the correct people - the chuds, the bosses, the rich, the cops, the spooks, the racists, the establishment politicians, mainstream media of every sort.

              He's a dumbass - like, he doesn't have a critical eye or any kind of theory/analysis. And has occasional bad takes. But he's not a Destiny/Vaush where he embraces state violence, liberal politics, or lives up his own ass. He's not going to die defending a dumb take, he'll just move on.

              He's a populist comedian - his heart is entirely in the right place. And no revolution is possible without people like him and his audience coming along.
