In reply to the discussion: Michael Moore's epic fail preserved in twitter: Crowing about the big crowds expected for Trump [View all]betsuni
(25,119 posts)30. It's ironic because the ones who were complacent and "cocky" last time and
refused to vote for the Democratic nominee or voted third party are his people.
He was still claiming the primary was rigged last year, still telling his audience the Democratic Party is corrupt. Not knowing how dangerous the Republicans are when it's right in your damn face and whining about Democrats instead is not only complacent but massively stupid. His fans are the ones least likely to take elections seriously. You made that bed, MM. You're the one who encouraged people to be cynical, that both parties are the same. Turning around and telling people to vote for the Democrat a few months before the election and finally taking about the real enemy, the Republicans, is too late.

Michael Moore is very progressive. He does not want repubs to win. He does not want people to take

It wasn't an epic fail. He's right. If it's not winnable by trump, it's most definitely stealable.
