There's folks who are CALLED "alt-left", and there are Bernie supporters...they are not the same.

70. Of course financial connections should not be off the table.

But there's reasonable and unreasonable criticism in that area. I'll leave it at that, and its pretty easy to tell the difference.

Regarding Jimmy Dore versus Joy Reid, there's no comparison whatsoever. Yes, Joy Reid has been highly critical of Bernie and his supporters, but if you listen to her and read her tweets, it's clear by "his supporters" she means the vociferous uncompromising ones. She particularly takes issue (as do I) with the fact that the Bernie movement wants to remake the Democratic party in its image without actually contributing much to the organization, or even joining it.

Which, whether you agree or not, is definitely a fair point. I mean, the guy bashes the party for decades, then uses their infrastructure to run for president, then goes back to independent, and now wants to start setting litmus tests for Democratic candidates. It's not hard to see how people who have supported and worked for the Dems for years might see that as problematic.

But does she call Bernie scum, like Dore regularly does to basically any Dem who isn't Bernie? Jimmy Dore is a whole different order of magnitude. Played around with Seth Rich conspiracies. Not one, but two segments Hillary's "Parkinson's", going all Alex Jones style through the video in slow motion. Jimmy Dore claims that the chemical attacks in Libya were false-flags (both of them), meaning that US forces deliberately gassed innocent people in order to justify retaliatory strikes. And on and on.

So, no, there's no comparison whatsoever. Please.
