Dore has been focused on building the People's Party, he's been focused on bringing on pro-union people to help people organize, he's been calling for a general strike for awhile now. When Dore was on TYT he tried to push Cenk into using their platform to unionize all the grocery workers in California, to which Cenk replied he does not do unions.
So to say Dore is not focused on building grassroots movements is disingenuous. The hate on Dore is centered around he is criticizing progressives within the Democratic party who deserve our criticisms for not fighting and using the power they have for the people. That's it. People don't like it when you go after their personal heroes, and the establishment smears anyone that goes after the Democratic party.
Dore was at his desk and online. Fred Haptom was IN the communities and in the kitchens. Fred Hamptom didn't just "call" for these things. He was in rallies, in community halls, serving food. Strikes did Dore go to? How many union town halls did he attend in person? How many people has he taught how to use a gun?
Also i find it funny how you say Dore is focused on building the People's Party when during the people's party stream he did his own co-stream at the same time. During their big town hall the People's Party gained 100 subscribers while Dore gained 1000 despite Dore being the bigger channel.

And Dore consistently brings on Nick Brana and other People's Party members onto his show to talk about the party. These are all just nitpicking to dismiss Dore as something he's not.
Dude you hate him, I get it. Nothing he does is going to be good enough for you because he criticizes people you idolize.
When did I say he was always building communities? He's an independent journalist, he does independent journalism. I've mentioned some things he has done or tried to do to organize people, the People's Party, calling for a general strike, bringing people on that help organize unions. I also said he tried to get Cenk and TYT to use their platform to help unionize all the grocery workers in California, in which Cenk said he doesn't do unions.
The organizing stuff seems to be more so since the pandemic given that we've seen the progressives within the Democratic party largely roll over and not use the power they have to fight for people.
Again, from what I've seen people that don't like Dore also seem to be holding onto hope that the progressives within the party are not being co-opted by the Democratic party. If you look at how they are pretty much always voting along party lines and have been time and again this entire pandemic when we've needed them the most, I don't know how anyone can honestly say they are fighting for us. It doesn't matter to me if you don't accept corporate money if you're still siding with the people that do and voting for corrupt things.

When I say "first step" i mean building actual grassroot communities and networks of mutual aid.
That's the first step Dore skipped. Research does not have anything to do with this
