    Start wrecklessly chugging some Everclear, son. I was trying to remember who this guy is, and remembered I saw one like 6-10 minute video of his a while back. I thought he seemed drastically more accurate and sensible than the vast majority of shit I could imagine hearing. That's rare for me. Why is everyone in agreement here that there's something bad about him?

    Remember, only saw one short video. Not enough to get me watching more, for that matter.

      hes a fucking liberal who wants healthcare. hes funny when he makes fun of establishment politicians, but in the end hes a one issue voter.

      if tulsi gives him his healthcare, hes down with 'sensible' imperialism and anti-trans rhetoric as long as he gets his.

      bah god, at least sam seder flirts with marxists on occasion. dore is literally status quo + m4a.

        He's one of the only people who's reporting on the fact that Syrian nerve gas attacks were staged (like Robert Fisk, the best Middle-East correspondent of last decades also said btw ), he regelarly has video's against imperialism in Venezuela and has called the coup in Bolivia what it is: a coup. He's also constantly talking about ending the wars and the fact that Obama, who campaigned as a peace candidate, expanded our 2 wars to 7. What sort of imperialism is he in favor of? I'm curious what you got, because you sound like you're just making stuff up.

          People who criticize him don't even know what he stands for because they don't listen to his show or watch clips. They don't like him so they don't think it's worth learning anything about him so they don't and just run off what they heard second hand from posts. One person on here one time said something about Dore not telling people to do real action (unionizing, etc). I don't listen to him either but I googled to see what his stances on labor was. Turns out he has a section on his site for joining unions or strikes and had an IWW leader on his show. I still don't listen to Dore but I at least don't assume I know everything about him.

          People need to get rid of their poster-brains. I've seen this hate train act the same way for other people. They just get into a stance where they don't like someone because they read in a post one time about something bad and the person who made that post is doing the same thing. So you have a bunch of people playing telephone and getting worked up over it. It's just nuts to see the hate-wagon be so successful. I know Cornell West has gone on Dore's show because I have twitter. Same with Brie Gray Joy and others. For people here to say that they know Dore is a secret Nazi grifter, that means all these smart, experienced, leftists who go on his show somehow missed it. They're too stupid or ignorant to know who Dore is. If we're not implying that the people we like going on Dore are dumb, then that leaves them knowing his a secret Nazi grifter and going on his show must not be a deal-breaker. Either the platform is so valuable that it's worth working with a grifter Nazi or going on these platforms is a meaningless gesture. If either of those are true, then it applies to Dore going on Tucker's show.

          What I'm getting at is that no matter how you feel about Dore, you can logic yourself to one conclusion, that it ultimately doesn't matter if he's a grifter. And the likelihood that he is a grifter in the sense that he's lying for money is pretty low. Plus it's way more profitable to grift libs and chuds over online leftists. You don't make millions by pretending to be mad at the US healthcare system. Trust the capitalists to chase what's profitable.
