I have never agreed with everything Michael Moore says, but he is an unabashed progressive who has most always supported Democrats, wants the Democrats to win in November and is saying so LOUDLY AND CLEARLY, and hates Trump to his very core. He was out there protesting over Trump's Muslim ban and has fought very hard for progressive causes for decades.
The circular firing squad among progressives/Dems needs to be killed dead once and for all. Moore is out there right now, so importantly, telling EVERYONE on our side to get the heck out in November and VOTE VOTE VOTE as though our lives depend on it.
Moore was one of the few correct in predicting Trump's inside-straight win in 2016 because he understood the deep anger and frustration of so many in the heartland. He is now warning loud and clear about the serious danger of Trump to our very democracy and that we need to get up off the couch, get the hell involved, and behave AS THOUGH we are going to lose IN ORDER TO PREVENT THAT VERY THING. He WANTS US TO WIN and WIN BIG! He has said over and over again that he wants a massive blue wave and for the non-voters to vote, and for women and young people and people of color to vote in record numbers in order to totally wipe out the GOP in November. And he is 1000% right.
So don't misunderstand when he says "Act is if we are going to lose." because he just means Act With A Sense Of Ultimate Urgency And Purpose. Do Not Sit Out! Get Involved! Go Campaign! Donate! And VOTE VOTE VOTE.
This is what Michael Moore is clearly saying, and it is very good. It is one more strong voice saying what needs to be said RIGHT NOW. In fact, he is saying not to be thinking about 2020. NOVEMBER IS THE ELECTION OF OUR LIFETIME! VOTE VOTE VOTE! This is what he is saying. And he is entirely correct! We can't say it enough.
