    Yeah I miss old traditional forums. Obviously plenty are still up but everyone is lazy and either just opens a subreddit or a reddit clone.

    Personally think there should be no voting whatsoever. Even with posts anything that offends the hivemind is gonna get squelched down, whether they had something valid to say or not. Just let first come first serve be the rule, like in the old days.

    And I do the same thing, checking to see how many upvotes I got lol.

    I honesty hate how discussion boards have all evolved to have upvotes and downvotes over the years, it squelches any thought outside the local hivemind. But, if you're going to just get rid of one of them, the downvotes are much worse than the upvotes. So I welcome this change.

    It's no problem. I honestly empathize a lot with why Dore did it, he was really hurt by someone he really looked up to. Still think Tulsi is total trash though.

    I think the Dore hate has to do with the fact a lot of Chapos are huge Sam Seder and Michael Brooks fans (They only made like 1000 videos slamming him after all). The same impressions people give of Dore here seem straight up lifted from Sam Seder videos. I've noticed that the most vocal anti Doreists on social media tend to either be Sam Seder employees or "friends of the show". That and the fact a decent amount of his audience are right wingers so there's silly tribalistic reasons at play. (The whole "NO, HOW DARE YOU TALK TO THE OTHER SIDE!!!!" which is endemic on Chapo.)

    I'm not going to defend Tulsi since she sucks but I kinda get why he supported her. It was easy to cast her as anti war even if yes if you actually looked at her history she really wasnt. Then again her foreign policy was basically the same as Bernie's so eh. But it's in the past and her political career is over so I can't say I really care at all about her at all at this point.

    That’s fair, but we should remember that the AOC wing of the party did get a pledge from Pelosi that she would step down in 2022.

    Nancy Pelosi is fucking 80. It's likely she'd be stepping down anyway.

    At the time, Tulsi looked like Bernie with more punch, Bernie with a couple shots of kahlua, if you will.

    Nah. Listen I actually like Dore unlike most Chapos but he didn't support Tulsi because he thought she was a stronger version of Bernie. When people say he supported Tulsi out of spite for Bernie they're right, even if they're wrong on why he was so spiteful (it has nothing to do with not coming on his youtube channel). He was spiteful because he was really upset when Bernie endorsed Hillary. Kyle Kulinski talks about how Dore was personally very upset when that happened and couldn't forgive Bernie for it. I wasn't really upset at all because I knew Bernie would do that (he's capitulated to Democrats ever since he entered Congress) but it's honestly understandable for someone who really bought the Saint Bernard meme as Dore did.

    I do find it funny Chapos really seem to have a hate hard on for Dore, even though most of the "lefties" who fling shit at him primarily hate him for refusing to "vote blue no matter who" which most Chapos refuse to do as well.
