In reply to the discussion: Lots of misunderstanding around here about what Michael Moore is doing. [View all]Honeycombe8
(37,648 posts)He's pointing out reasons why voters in certain areas voted the way they did, and why they would in the future, if the Democrats make the same mistakes again.
It's not pleasant to hear, but it's necessary, if we want to get those votes, and more importantly, address the concerns of those people.
People won't vote for a party that it thinks doesn't care about them or their concerns. So that's why Moore wasn't surprised that many in his area voted for Trump and is again pointing out where the party can do better. A party can always do better.
(But...I think Moore does have his own agenda, or movement, that doesn't necessarily always align with the Democratic Party, if push came to shove. Still, he wants the Dems to win over Republicans, unlike some third party activist movements. Moore is a Democrat, as far as I know.)
