holding an event for her? How the hell does he know? Always have to get insult to Democrats in there.

MM at the Toronto International Film Festival for the opening of 11/9: "One of the reasons I made this movie is that I've come to the conclusion that the old guard of the Democratic Party is a greater roadblock to social progress than Trump is. Because they're taking half-measures, because they're beholden to the same money and interests."

Let that sink in. Trump is more progressive than Democrats like Obama, Biden, Hillary, Pelosi, etc. (Teh dreaded Establishment).

The "hubris" was evident in the national expectation of a Clinton win... Think. Again. Jun 2024 #11

Maybe now isn't the time to try to stir up trivial infighting on the Left.... Think. Again. Jun 2024 #9

Yes, Michael Moore shouldn't stir up infighting with baseless insults against Democrats. betsuni Jun 2024 #10

I'm in the present, care to join me? Think. Again. Jun 2024 #12

The OP is about Michael Moore's 2018 documentary and the 2016 election. betsuni Jun 2024 #13

No, the OP is very specifically about our current situation. Think. Again. Jun 2024 #14

My point was we can't be complacent. That's all. ificandream Jun 2024 #17
