63. I don't get it, either. He was dead right in 2016, and he's right now.

People who are pissed off by Michael Moore need to get off their asses and get two other people who never voted before to go through the process, get to the polls, and vote for Biden-Harris. They can either prove Moore wrong and make him eat his words or, frankly, shut the fuck up.

Hanging around DU preaching to the friends in the choir isn't going to do anything to keep what happened in 2016 from happening again, and even worse.

Michael Moore is a modern day Cassandra. People have never wanted to hear about what upsets their dearest illusions.

I want to smack him. Whatever his actual intent, he is acting to depress the vote. hlthe2b Aug 2020 #1

No, it's instinct like an animal. No thinking. This is my theory. betsuni Aug 2020 #46

I think everyone is forgetting the most important thing, he was a Bernie supporter from the start Baclava Aug 2020 #47
And he went on and on about how if it wasn't Bernie it HAD to be a celebrity. betsuni Aug 2020 #55
Even better, said he was "shocked" when Biden "swung to the left" with the Harris VP pick Baclava Aug 2020 #59
He'll do the usual both-sides thing until the last minute when he'll tell "progressives" to vote betsuni Aug 2020 #68
Of course. That way he can take credit both ways. JI7 Aug 2020 #81
And how come he didn't warn about the HUGE losses Sanders was going to face JI7 Aug 2020 #76
Why are you asking me? lol, He's a true Bernie believer, i guess Baclava Aug 2020 #78
