They both suck
Nomiki sucks and she’s prolly the main reason I haven’t watched TMR in a month
Nah, I want Dore to win, it’s not even a contest
I’m not looking to start some sort of struggle session because I don’t really care either way here.
Why do people call Jimmy Dore a grifter or hate him or whatever?
I’ve seen some people on Twitter say since he has money that means he’s not suited to lead this little push (which I don’t want to rehash either). But that’s kinda bullshit to me. I don’t think credentials should have anything to do with a movement, nor how much money someone has.
I dislike him, not because he’s angry (although he goes way overboard sometimes), but because he toots his own horn for like half his videos on YouTube, at least of the few I’ve watched. I swear legit half of the video is about how he’s the only one covering stuff.
But I don’t get the hate I guess.
Should add I have no idea who this other person is lol

This was part of the reason why I stopped watching his videos. Felt like it was getting more and more excessive. I don’t hate him though. He’s a big reason why I took a hard turn left after the 2016 election after being a dejected radlib in the aftermath of the Obama presidency.
Oh and Nomiki worked in TYT for a bit, then got fired and has been covering NY politics for a while on her own I think. Don’t really follow her all that much so not 100% that’s all she does.
More importantly Nomiki Konst also worked as a contributor on Fox news selling the US / NATO war on libya to the rubes with frankly rabid neocon arguments. Then she decided that the real money was in the progressive grift and started spouting imperialist smears on sam seders shit show.
She was at TYT first. Think about it… TYT hired her after she got back from Libya essentially lmao
resonates with so many struggling working class people
Does it though? Literally the only people talking about this on either side are “internet leftists”
If he’s the only person reaching workers, that’s something we should take a look at and fix. There’s no point reaching workers if you’re reaching them with uneducated drivel from someone who isn’t even a socialist lol. We need to be reaching workers with the right info, it isn’t an end in of itself.
Where are all the “leftists” demanding for Medicare for All in the midst of a pandemic crisis?
Huddled around the corpse of the Sanders campaign screaming “We warned you!” and “You didn’t listen!”
This whole debacle really helped expose many of the so-called Twitter “leftists” as actually reactionaries who really want to preserve the status quo.
Turns out repeated frustration, humiliation, and failure can make reactionists of us all.
They both suck but at least Jimmy is a leftist
Eh not really. Dudes been fucked over by the system, but I don’t think he’s politically motivated in that way.
