I have no doubt on election eve 2020 he’ll be the consummate doomsayer quietly rooting for the other side because it’s good for his business, just like always. He’ll be lecturing us all on “if Democrats had just picked Bernie...”

But he can really be a dem Debbie downer, and I prefer listening to people who inspire our party.

6. Looks like he's stealing other people's Facebook memes and pretending they're his own.

It was clever the first time I heard it last year. Now, not so much.

What's next? "Yeah, that's the ticket!" ... "Well, isn't that special?" ... "Was it... SATAN?" ... "Just a wild-and-crazy guy!" ... "It's always something!" ... "Makin' copie-e-e-es!" So, if/when that happens, I wonder if his admirers and apologists be fawning all over that as well?

The one line of his I'll always remember (paraphrasing here) is the one that went something like this: "A vote for Gore is a vote for Bush."

Moore is a total waste of flesh. A showboating conman. I can't stand him.

Now that things are heating up and being exposed, this guy wants to get his face back in the limelight.

Is it any wonder we lose all our media to the RW. The purists on our side is so debilitating to moving forward.

Michael Moore is a legend in documentary film story telling. From Roger and Me, to Fahrenheit 911 to Sicko, and others, he's been brave enough to speak truth to power, mostly Republican power. Corporate power. He has probably "woke" many young people and others who then voted Democratic. Including all the work he's done touring campasses before elections to get out the vote for Democrats.

I find it utterly classless and appalling to watch American liberals continue to cut off every influential ally who has worked for decades on our side, because of some perceived slight or another.
