Jimmy Dore thinks people care enough about M4A that making them get on record as not supporting M4A will make them lose reelection. It's just not that pressing of an issue for the average person who has employer based healthcare. It just is what it is.

I'm a progressive, but these online hacks need to pull their heads out of their asses. Truth is most Americans that vote don't want to risk stability for fundamental change. Even if the change will create a better system. Change will result in birth pains and these reliable voters have mortgages, 401Ks and steady jobs.

The Dem party rejected Bernie twice and he was offering way more than Hillary or Biden ever did. Sometimes it is what it is.

Yes, you should push for progressive policies and hope the public builds an appetite for implementing those polices, but please hop off your own dikk. Jimmy Dore must think anyone outside of his subscribers cares what he has to say.
I don’t disagree with all of your points but I do think if we had the right messenger some of these policies are possible. We need someone more charismatic than Bernie. Someone who can not only speak to progressives, but can also speak to the concerns of Black people, and independent white voters.

Yeah BJG a full blown grifter.
She isn’t a grifter, imo. She doesn’t care about politics and doesn’t follow things as closely as she thinks.

She had a convo with Cornell West and Tricia Rose about the importance of Cardi B, and using her as an advocate to advance progressive causes. West and Ross were politely confused lol.

Note that Brie Brie Joy also liked tweets calling AOC a "fukking bytch" because she wouldn't pull this lame stunt that doesn't get anybody healthcare.

Having a vote on it now does not ruin any chance of passing M4A in the future.

This is the centrist playbook and they fall for it everytime. Doom and gloom, but pretend you're pragmatic by getting some weak wack "win" that does nothing really.
It looks like AOC really did switch to the establishment side.

Why do some of y’all give a fukk about these talentless talking heads? Stop giving them attention and their platform becomes nonexistent. They only have “influence” because people follow every tweet that they say. All they do is bytch all day.

We probably disagree on who is and who isn't worth listening to.

She doesn't have to do this because Jimmy Dore says he wants a vote on M4A right now. Like I said he's not her boss. But she is fumbling the response to #ForcetheVote, first of all she shouldn't have even acknowledged it. But now that she has she is being kinda dishonest about why she's not doing it. She should just be honest and say, "I'm not interested because the guy who came up with the idea has been lying and crapping on me for months. Fukk him and any idea he's thought of." That would give an honest explanation people would understand and put Jimmy's behavior on blast. If you want to ask a politician to do something try and be more civil if you want to be effective.
