      Dore is indeed dog shit, but he was right on FTV. Dore is angling for the Rogan of the left, he's casting a big dumb net to catch as many dumb guys as possible. He's all optics, rejecting irony poisoned (Chapo) and NPR-lite (Majority Report) with a kind of shock jock theatrics.

        he was right on FTV

        I've seen not one person say they're actually opposed to FTV. The parliamentarian tactic itself was never the issue, at least as far as I saw.

      What does Dore have to do with this? Dore was right on FTV. He ain't too sharp, but he's better than the libs whose only instinct is to fall in line.

        All this recent talk of Boogs and "working with the Right" was prompted by Dore interviewing a Boog non-confrontationally and suggesting that there's room for them to work with the Left.

          Gotcha. Awful idea, but doesn't mean Dore was wrong earlier. E.g., Warren shaking hands with Netanyahu was worse. I'll reserve judgment of Dore until I see what comes of it.

              'Cuz she's a girl, huh?

              nazsuccdem tulsi gabbard

              You're too loose with your Nazi labels. Even with the transphobic bill (which came long after Dore's support) she's not a Nazi.

              She has a bunch of rightist flirtations, true, but so do, in their own way, all the establishment politicians that the regular soc dems (Bernie, AOC, etc.) cozy up to, none of whom challenge US foreign policy. Tulsi Gabbard had her usefulness: not to the right, but to the left. And she might again.

              It's important to note everyone's limitations, but if you want to be involved with electoralism at all, then casting everyone imperfect into some hated category - and then denouncing everyone barely associated with them is absurd. There's barely anyone better to choose from - why be such a caustic purist [EDIT] what justifies such an intense denunciation of Tulsi and anyone associated with her?

                  I'm not talking about Tulsi - I'm talking about Dore. He stanned her before she sponsored a transphobic bill. Denouncing A because A liked B before B did something wrong makes no sense. It's the guilt by association that I have a problem with.
