The patreon left is tearing itself apart over Jimmy Dore, a shouty YouTube millionaire who hasn’t bothered to shout a thing about Georgia. It’s all so performative and absurd and it boggles my mind that people think he’s a righteous Malcolm X figure. https://twitter.com/angryblacklady/status/1345019272267878401
The whole disagreement is fucking ridiculous. They’ve spent weeks yelling at each other and the Squad about force the vote while doing fuck-all to help Bernie Sanders gain more power in the senate in a critical election happening in FOUR DAYS.
And the way Bernie’s former press Secretary has been caping for this unhinged white man who is screaming at AOC, Tlaib, etc—telling these progressive women of color to fuck off and the like because they disagree with his ✌🏾strategy✌🏾—is an interesting choice.
How are folks not seeing though his routine? How is Katie Halper letting this man walk all over her on a panel she is supposed to be moderating? He screamed at her to fuck off. She was moderating!
If anyone behaved that way on a panel that I was moderating, I would cut their mic
This kerfuffle is absurd and still no one has explained to me why these YouTube and patreon millionaires are ignoring all the work Black women are doing in Georgia much less explained it without a reference to me being a foreclosure lawyer or Warren being a snake.

Y’all are 👀
Y’all have managed to center a fight purportedly about healthcare for poor people around a white man who’s a fucking millionaire and screams at women of color for YouTube clicks.

What is wrong with y’all’s brains.
And my favorite part is how anyone who points out that screaming fuck off at AOC is bullying behavior is met with accusations of tone policing Jimmy Dore—as if a white man has ever in the history of the world been tone policed.

You’ve got to be kidding me.
Tone policing is what white people do to people of color to avoid accountability and to ignore us. We’re told we’re too loud or angry when discussing racism, for example, and that we need to be nicer in order to convince people of our humanity.
Tone policing is not telling a rich white man to quit yelling at and bullying women, you numpties.
I swear to god. Watching this fight has been amazing mostly because the people involved are utterly ridiculous.
The dude is an asshole. Flat out. His behavior is unacceptable by any standard of decency and it is embarrassing watching people like Katie Halper and Ben Spielberg sit there and let this man scream at them. Are y’all afraid of jimmy dore? Why do you let him treat you this way??
There is no love lost between me and Katie Halper. Even so, watching her sit there taking abuse from this man was super cringeworthy and worrisome. And watching her friend Brie—no love lost between me and her either—allow this shite man to yell at her was yikes.

But I’m sleep.
Shite man is an apt typo
Anyway. You know the drill. 🐍🐍🐍🐍
