Jimmy DORE is a fucking moron who has insane backwards theories that not voting for the better candidate in general elections , thereby making the worst candidate more likely to be elected somehow will pull the party left . It’s a ridiculous dogshit theory that’s based on a childlike understanding of politics and has caused horrible outcomes in this country that hurt people .

Even at a higher office, they don't need a lot of practical government knowledge as long as they are intelligent, ethical, humble and hardworking. Day-to-day government is what consultants and career bureaucrats are for. Government will mostly run itself as long as fratboys, zealots and corrupt entitled egotists are kept to a minimum.

If you want people to give a shit you need to offer them something. Centrists offer nothing, not even ideas. Buttigieg talks for hours and says fucking nothing, idk where he stands on anything, I just know he stands wayyyy off to the side of other viable candidates because he's useless. Hillary ran to beat Trump, and she didn't bring an army, cause her rally speech was directed at Corporate interests, and the people all shook their heads and laughed. But this fool think her strategy is what will beat Trump. Good luck buddy. If Biden is nominee then their plan is to lose

The problem with centrists is that they simply don’t *know anything.* I hate the far-right with a *passion,* but what I will give them is they at the very least are politically savvy. While we disagree with their interpretation of what should be done politically or economically, they at least know enough to engage in discussion. Because they at least know the framing of the discussion, they are much easier to convince to our cause (assuming their political beliefs are based in economics or politics, not racism or fascism.) Centrists do not know ANYTHING. All you have to do is watch this video to see that. This entire video is Sam explaining basic shit that every leftist already knows. Find me one leftist or person on the far-right who doesn’t see the problem with dark money or corporate endorsements, and I’ll find you a dozen centrists who share the sentiment. Then, because centrists believe they’re on some holier-than-thou nirvana-state yin-and-yang shit, they’re absurdly passionate about their lack of ideals, making them annoyingly difficult to persuade particularly if they argue in bad faith or from a position of emotion, as the caller does here.

On another note, Jeffrey has no problem with money in politics. Centrist complacency. They dont care or are not educated enough on the subject.

"Hitler could come back from the dead and run as a Democrat and I'd vote for him" Yeah...that just about sums up most fence-sitters and centrists.

I honestly don't see a reason to give shitty fence-sitter faux-pragmatic centrists the time of day anymore. No more compromising. No more cronyism. No more nepotism. No more Blue Dog Democrats. No more special treatment. No more corruption. No more corporate interests. I'm done with that.

Simple point: 90% of the country had no idea who Crowley was, despite being in congress for years. But now, about 100% of the country knows who AOC is. She has moved people, created an impact and given people a reason to vote. Crowley was such a nobody and did nothing for the country that most people didn’t even know he existed.

“I’m pretty sure Corey Booker is going to be the democratic nominee” god this guy is out of his fucking mind cuckoo 😂😂😂

It's never "the right time" for Democrats not to be corporate to these people. The caller should study historical maps and see what has become of the Democratic Party since 1994. Corporate Democrats have all but handed the midwest to Republicans. Along with more power in general for the GOP at virtually every level in any 25 year period since the 1920's. ( Or the 1880's in some cases. ) Just be honest caller, you don't care about real people or everyday issues. You are fine with a permanently corrupt sell-out GOP-lite party. One which doesn't represent middle and working class Americans, and just plays to identity politics as a substitute for real representation. The caller does not even understand about building support for change over time. "But we can't run on issues until we have majorities everywhere. And then we will water them down anyway............" :(

Who the fuck is 'qualified'? What the fuck does that mean in a post Trump world? Any one of us is qualified at this point. We'd do a better job too.

The caller does a good job explaining why the Democrats have been on a long losing streak until the last election.

I literally see no point to centrists. It's just a reaction against change.

I see it like this, if Dems aren't progressive, what's the point of voting for them? I don't care about experience

Three months into her first term in any elected office and she's on the cover of Time magazine. Everyone knows who she is. Even Donald Trump can't ignore her.
