Well yeah. If she copies Hillary, maybe she’ll get what Hillary got.
With no snark intended, when was the last time that Michael Moore was culturally or politically relevant? I was a fan of his from his earlier work, but not sure why his take on anything would be valued over anybody else’s at this point. I’m not even necessarily disagreeing with his point, but not sure why anyone cares what he says about the race.
I think that the main reason is that he was virtually alone in predicting Hilary Clinton’s loss in 2016 and then created a very incisive film about it. He’s been a supporter of Bernie Sanders in past campaigns and consistently argues for an orientation towards working-class politics as opposed to prevailing corporate liberalism of the Democrats. Now some would say that supporting the Democrats at all is a betrayal, but I’m staying out of that one for now.
If Harris is advised by her wealthy donors to shun the left and drop her more progressive positions in favor of a ‘move to the center,’” Moore, who grew up in the suburbs of the Midwestern city he made famous in his debut documentary *Roger & Me (but has since moved away), *writes in a new Substack post, it could “reduce or depress the vote.”
There. That’s it. Fcking clickbait titles.
It already happened. She done did a Hilary. They don’t fucking learn.
She basically handed the presidency to Trump on a silver plater by abandoning the left.
- Praising war criminal Dick Cheney and accepting the endorsement of many extremist right wing political figures (this is everywhere I’m not posting a source on this)
- No progress on halting shipments to Israel as they plunge us further to World War 3
- Withdrew support for M4A (I guess that’s pretty old, happened during the 2020 primary, but still frustrating for leftists)
- Pledges hundreds of millions of dollars to secure the southern border, including building Trump’s wall
- Won’t ban fracking
Look I hope she gets more votes than Trump, but she continues to make zero concessions to the left while there’s a gigantic Uncommitted movement in Michigan, a crucial swing state.
Democrats would rather lose to a fascist than allow someone pushing for true change get power (see what they did to Bernie in the primaries, and how they’re suing to keep third parties off the ballot while not pushing a ranked choice voting option at all).
