:jbhmm:. Well let's see:


Jimmy Dore claiming to be a 'working class' champion while buying a $2 million house in LA? You could make the argument.

Brie Brie Joy crying about being "unemployed in a 500 sq ft studio apartment" while she makes $30K a month on per (paid subscription only) podcast, then juelzing when called out on it? Absolute grifter.

Krystal Ball starting a PAC supposedly for progressive candidates while lining her own pockets to the tune of six figures? Literal definition of a grifter.

So, yes, all three of them are grifters.




I asked you how this is supposed to get us M4A and you over here talmbout nuts. :dame:

I don't give a flying fukk if they let their 'nuts' hang if they're not actually going to win. So you've just confirmed my entire point: this is nothing more than performative garbage that doesn't solve the problem for anybody.
Dore has never referred to himself as a "working class champion." That's really that.

Briahna Joy Gray was unemployed prior to her podcast - it just started in August :dwillhuh:
And I have no idea about Ball's PAC - but it looks like she pays herself for services provided :ehh: You know more about it than me though :hubie:

My favorite part of all of this is seeing @FAH1223 act like he wasn’t on Jimmy Dores nuts these past 5 years.

just like Matt Stoller.

just like Zaid Jilani

Just like Lee Fang

just like Krystal Ball

just like Kyle Kulinski

just like H A Goodman

just like Michael Tracy

just like Aaron Mate

just like Tulsi Gabbard

just like Glenn Greenwald

the guys so goddamn gullible you start to feel like he should have a sign he wears as a necklace with a help number and common phrases to help him if he gets lost.

and watch. He’s not enamored with the populist republicans like Hawley now. :heh:

I get so angry reading this man. I said this shyt was happening and it’s happening again!


So, Elizabeth Warren was popular until she proved to not be all that progressive at all, was caught lying about being Native American, and started to fold on simply progressive policies in front of the entire U.S.?

Civil Rights Act didn't pass the first time it was up for a vote either but pushing it had impact so it did pass when reintroduced.
Why not both? :mjgrin:
Just "pushing" civil rights would have kept segregation going. It took generations, education, and lots of deaths to get that shyt passed.

As I said before this is the same party that agrees with funding what is basically a military force that kills one of their main voting bases at a higher rate than any other with few repricussions.

There were millions in the streets fighting against that shyt and for other things like reparations during a pandemic. And the Dems are still playing games with us on that. M4A was on the ballot during the primary and we lost.

M4A is a must, and there's nothing wrong with forcing a vote for Pelosi's seat. But the issue is acting like this is some all or nothing move or The Squad are fake for disagreeing on the strategy. It destroys the movement and makes it nothing but a stunt. Especially when the party is keeping progressives out of important committees.

I've said I think Progressives are not obligated to take this up and I don't think any less of them. Jimmy shytting on AOC behind this is just petty revenge on his part for her not going on his show after she won. But I do think #ForcetheVote is a good idea.

Edit: Also thoogh, while they don't have to do this particular strategy they do need to @ some point defy leadership and leverage the group's votes to oppose Pelosi on something important to their base before 2022. You can't act like you're a new different type of Dem but go along with Pelosi/The Party the entire time. It would make them seem all talk and no action.
