      In my opinion her points gave more introspection for the cause

      and to be fair sams crew would attack her & jimmy on a personal level that was gross

        She's been attacking people on personal level on Twitter for weeks over this shit. She also sat by while Dore personally attacked a bunch of people who are otherwise well meaning and supposed to be her allies and didn't say shit.

          I can pick out many examples from a hat with MR & his 1 million subscriber platform compared to Bries twitter.. Her platform has been all policy. I had been a viewer until now by his complete smugness & personal attack pettiness in bad faith unironically

          Wish michael brooks was part of the dialogue.

            https://twitter.com/KweenInYeIIow/status/1346085984803434497?s=20

            People see the shit she posts and likes.

            Why are you talking to me like I am defending Sam Seder? As I already said, both BJG and Sam Seder have acted like petulant liberal children. BJG sat down on camera and let Jimmy Dore talk a bunch of shit about people who she runs in the same circle as and said nothing to defend them, and in some cases joined in briefly before being too cowardly and just deleting it, fearing the consequences, and I am supposed to see her as a victim? Am I supposed to be surprised or offended that the people who consider her a friend and ally decided to give it back to her?

            This whole FTV shit wasn't even about M4A, it was about building the Posters' Party and getting people to go on Dore's show

            Oh, and here's and idea of what Michael Brooks would have said about all of this:

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lhn89O_Z96M

            I'm not really sure how the fuck you could have listened to anything Michael ever said, especially before his death, about how the left needs to carry itself and talk and treat to people, and expect him to turn around and say, "Yes, this movement that has called people like Cori Bush and AOC sellouts is actually a good and useful movement." But who knows, maybe like BJG said, Michael would have agreed if he with her if he just could have read her article, which is definitely not a narcissistic thing to say.

              “ @KweenInYeIIow So cowardly. If Brie got something to say she needs to speak up instead of liking other peoples tweets.”

              Holy shit! This is some grade A junior high level petty shit. Glad I don’t have Twitter

                Given that this all started off of some dickhead saying "Support my tactic or you are an enemy of the left," what more would you expect other than petty drama?

              What’s with the hostility? I don’t want to entertain the conspiracies grifting argument anymore that obfuscates from real butter & bread issues

                You are right, I am sorry, I shouldn't be hostile to a movement whose only tangible outcome has been dividing the left by primarily making its case by accusing anyone who disagrees with the tactic of being a sellout and an enemy. My apologies. You are also right, we should definitely not consider any material motivations that the people leading this movement might actually have, especially ones they have openly admitted to having.

                  even i don’t call MR a grifter whos guided solely on making money. nor do i think #forcethevote is about Jimmy Dore. I think all politicians are prone to Washington Brains & need to be called out. But the Ben Dixon style approach of accusing people of being plants & grifters is more divisive & better example of circular firing going on the left which wouldn’t happen as severely with MR solidarity

                    Thank you for admitting this isn't about actually getting people healthcare.

              Nobody should have ever taught DSA liberals the word "wrecker" because they use it to mean "Someone who criticizes my liberal friends".

                "I'm very upset someone used the term 'wrecker' correctly to describe a movement that has caused chaos inside the M4A movement not to further universal healthcare but to prop up the Posters Party."

                  He didn't use the term. But said that brie was there to carry water for white people.

                  Dude list like 10k followers and a letter grade drop on social media scoring sites, shit you know he follows.

                  His a huge sell out.

              No one on tmr goes after brie really. It's a bad move she will sic her engaged followers on you.

              But the subreddit just seems like a bunch of sexist racist libs

                The subreddit really goes after her. There are usually multiple post a day complaining about her attitude on Twitter, the best was one saying she was the main reason Bernie lost. It’s weird because she never really gets brought up when I watch the show. I ask someone what’s you guy’s deal with her. This whole FTV thing isn’t really being talked about ad naseum on other left spaces. The reply was “ that’s not true, it’s a big discussion on the V——-h sub”. It all makes sense now

      Whole thing was hard to watch but I've had FTV stuff largely tuned out so I wanted to watch the heavyweight wonks (so to speak) go at it. Cane away with my original view intact that I'm not opposed to FingTV but I really don't think it's going to make any significant difference either way.

      The point that was new to me here was the idea of getting media attention on the vote and the fight around the vote, but frankly I think they'd have no problem giving it barely any attention and justifying that by pointing out that it's destined for failure and therefore not a big deal.

      Admittedly I was splitting my attention with Hitman 3 so I may have missed something.
