"The old guard of the Democratic Party has failed to speak to them. I will at least give them a song they can belt out."

"Most Americans may not label themselves as liberal, but if you look at almost every major issue, the majority of Americans support the liberal position. They want Medicare for All. They believe in women’s equality and equal pay. They believe immigration is good for America. They believe in LGBQT rights and marriage equality. They want gun control. They want to break up the big banks. They want universal pre-K and free public college for all. They want to tax the rich and corporations. And on and on and on. It’s amazing how liberal the American people are when you look at it issue by issue."

Dear Mr Moore, THIS wish list has always been the Dem Platform.

In fact it was all in Candidate Clinton's campaign platform.
Where were you in 2016?

Did you suddenly enlighten yourself by reading her policy platform & realize you could capitalize on selling it as some grand new revelation that only now is being thought of?

After your self serving speech at the Women's March, Mr Moore, you are all talk of little use except for your desire to co-opt the basic tenets of the Democratic Party, that were put there by ...that 'Old Guard'...yup.
The same ones you condemn & disrespect & demean. That Old Guard has always represented those basic human rights conditions you claim as your great ideas today.

Yes, Mr Moore. The great Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party has Always been the Only Party who has demanded all the wishes on your list.

Where were you Mr Moore, in 2016 when the Dem Party was desperatly trying to hold on to America in the face of Fascism.

What did you do to unite & warn the voters to vote Dem as tho their lives depended on it?

Ask Susan Sarandon how campaigning against the Dem Candidate turned out.
We could have now had in place all your wish list contains.
But..but.. Hey ya know what would be really nice about now, Mr Moore?
That "Old Guard".

Chump.

Whaat does this have to do with the OP and why is it implying that Moore did not enthusiastically get behind Clinton when she won the nomination?

Most Democrats didnt think it was remotely possible. He shouted from the hilltops and yet people still didnt listen. The idea that he could have done more is ridiculous.
