      Main thing to know is that Jimmy Dore and Jimmy Durante are two different people.

      Yes -- Canadian universal health care was achieved by organizing politically, not by whatever it is Dore thinks he's doing.

      You are saying that what Dore is doing is not "political?" All the people who follow him and are hearing about #ForceTheVote, are hearing his dialogue with Cornel West, are working with a new political party...not "political?"

      It's not political because there's no path by which forcing the vote advances the cause.

          You may be missing the historical moment in which we find ourselves. If we don't begin the fight for just policies now, we will be lost. The corporate Dems are fine with technocratic authoritarianism. We need to begin the fight now. And that is of course "political."
