Oh well, didn't like his style then, and seems like I like him even less if he actually seems to defend that orange buffoon over progressives now.
Ever watched Sam Seder/The Majority Report? I think he ticks a few of the Jimmy Dore-boxes (comedic-angle, bold talk, etc.), but more progressive and in my opinion a good bit more likeable.

Yeah I watch The Majority Report now and again. My favourite is probably Secular Talk. Don't get me wrong, there's obviously nothing wrong criticising 'your base' but there's something a bit 'off' with the way Dore presents it.
