Let's struggle people
He spat in Alex Jones' face, and he criticizes the dems endlessly from the left. He's good in my book. Leagues better than Sam Seder
I find him just, you know, fucking annoying. If that's your style whatever dude, but the tone and pacing of his show is extremely off-putting to a certain segment.
We're all libs here Chapo. But what I like about pods like Citations Needed or Rev Left Radio is the more explicitly narrative driven content. CN is best at it, but I prefer a pod to be constantly building to some kind of theme or motif or thesis. Doore often just plays clips and then interrupts them with obvious ass takes in a smug voice every 20 seconds, and while he's not wrong, it just gets predictable after the first 10 minutes. Sometimes he pauses at weird times too instead of letting the clip finish to provide context, and it just seems so disjointed and ad-hoc. There's space for that kind of content, but it isn't going to push or educate people beyond a certain point, and his tone and pacing are going to drive a lot of people away before they give him a real chance anyway.
I normally recommend Beau of the 5th column to curious libs or politically uneducated people given his more digestable video lengths and style.
Completely disagree with your point about narratives from jimmy, Citations needed has an extremely small potential audience as they mainly appeal to college educated libs, that love overly long explanatory think pieces filled with numbers. That shit will never reach the people who need to be moved left.
Jimmy's narratives unfold over a number of episodes, he's was covering the CARES act and its consequences to a greater extent than any other outlet since may, and as far as I can tell the only youtuber to seriously critique the Biden cabinet while every other fake progressive outlet has gone back to the "republicans bad" narrative that get them views but doesn't move us anywhere.
I mean, I really could be wrong on this one. Like I said it's been a while since I've watched him seeing I was so put off by the tone and format at the time. If it's moving people left then I'm for it at the end of the day.
The drunk progressive uncle market cornered. He's mad as fuck and has no tangible solutions for anything. Honestly people love shit like that. It works for right wingers. If I were to show my cab driver Jimmy Dore or Sam Seder which one do you think would get the ball rolling?
Sam seder is a corporate tool grifter who will russia gate at the drop of a fucking hat if it gets him a gig on MSNBC, having any expectation that he will get anything done is naive.
This one's easy: He stanned Tulsi Gabbard in the primaries.
He makes good points occasionally but he's shit politically.
He supports the rights of Nazis to march through Jewish neighbourhoods
He supported Tulsi during the primary despite her connections to Hindu nationalism
He has been on Tucker Carlson's show
He also isn't a communist at all, he's still a lib, he just appears further left than most libs because he is willing to criticise the Dems a lot
Don't get me wrong I owe a lot of my political evolution to him, it was through him that I first discovered criticisms of Obama and the Dem party, but we have much better people to do that now so I wouldn't bother with him so much.
He is the door opener and should be seen as that.
Who do you think is better at it now?
Yeah his good. But his not for everyone. His too much of a dweb bro for the people over 20
Man, I remember his prediction that Trump winning was gonna be good for the Left cuz the Democratic Party would somehow learn from their mistakes about Hlllary or something. He was terribly wrong. He wasn't the only one who thought that way, but he was so, terribly wrong.
That wasn't his prediction at all. It's the fact that Trump was so obviously corrupt and evil that people would wake up to what obama and the democrats have been doing. All of which has been carried out over the last 4 years where we've seen militancy grown on the left and a whole lot of libs radicalized. The same libs are now going back to sleep under Biden.
