Shocked that he's not still shitting on Democrats.

Court, and judicial appointments of the Democrats verses the republicans, and it is obvious just how out of touch he is

How "authentic" and "consistent" and "anti-establishment" and so on.

stopped him before he could spew his divisionary nonesense, and put the focus where it needed to be, against trump, NOT the Democrats

"Certainly there are some people in the Democratic Party who want to maintain the status quo. They would rather go down with the Titanic so long as they have first class seats."

Ironic. He obviously doesn't want to go down with the ship. But TOO LATE. The Titanic is going down and only two people have first class seats.

Well made and the message is probably the most immediate thing, besides the pandemic, that we should be reflecting upon while we sit at home.

His previous documentaries were pretty powerful. When I saw Fahrenheit 9/11, it was a completely full house and one of the few times that everyone stayed and applauded at the end. I sat next to a woman I'd never met before who immediately told me how much she objected to George Bush* - so I gave her some suggestions for resources she could look up - including DU!
