Jimmy Dore is an American comedian who runs the Jimmy Dore Show. In 2016, Jimmy Dore was a Bernie supporter, but has since become a critic of how the progressives in congress have repeatedly gone back on their progressive promises.

Jimmy Dore was part of The Young Turks network on the show Aggressive Progressives from 2009 to 2019. He left after Cenk Uygur took millions in donations from Jeffrey Katzenberg, a liberal millionaire who donated millions to Hillary Clinton's campaign in 2016. Additionally, after taking $26 million from Katzenberg, Cenk busted the union effort at TYT despite identifying as "pro-worker" and "pro-union". Uygur also founded Justice Democrats with Kyle Kulinski in 2017, and after many of his candidates won in 2018, Cenk used TYT to dissipate and deflect criticism of them instead of holding them accountable for their opportunism and subsequent assimilation into the Democratic Party.

Dore has been consistently anti-imperialist on his show and in interviews. He has featured such anti-imperialist voices on his show as Glenn Greenwald, Max Blumenthal and Aaron Maté from The Grayzone, Scott Ritter, Chris Hedges, Jackson Hinkle, and Sabby Sabs, as well as others from Revolutionary Blackout Network. Dore has been vocally critical of Wall Street, the American Deep State, NATO, the World Economic Forum, as well as food, pharmaceutical, tech, insurance, and industrial monopolies; he has been critical of the popular narratives of Russiagate, the 2018 Syrian Chemical Weapons Attacks in Douma, the Invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The International Magazine's Dawn Harjau has called Jimmy Dore a "grincing clout goblin"[1]
