55. It's all so ridiculous!

This has been going on for a long time. If you're even remotely giving some thought as to why she's so unliked by the majority of Americans (and still FUCKING light years better than Dumdum Donald) you get kicked in the groin on here and made fun of for your looks (weight, hair, being older and not in the prime of your life that he was so beloved for) all because he dare be relatable to the people who aren't like all of us who are 100% Hillary instead of Dumdum.

He's doing a good job critiquing her while repeatedly stating Dems need to get out the vote so she beats the insane opponent. He knows plenty well how to relate to people that come from that area. I sometimes have to do it when needing to get someone who's not very much into the news or is moderate to understand that right-wing policies or trickle down have never worked and will never work, and that the rich (like tax dodger Donald) need to pay their fair share.

Michael isn't perfect but he doesn't deserve this. Fahrenheit 911 is a historical masterpiece about the politics and scandal of the B*sh era.

He made so many good points about how the Trumpettes love his hateful BS.

Many should apologize. He's simply saying don't think just because Dumdum is a lunatic you can assume she'll win. His deplorables don't care what he does or says. They're saying he's smart for avoiding taxes despite padding his pockets for decades! He's asking us to reach those Bernie people who aren't interested in voting. One I spoke to for an hour today. She said her whole family isn't voting. I was so sad. I told her, if the insane guy wins, how will she feel about her good job in the tourism industry and does she think people are going to come here to America if HE'S president?

Michael Moore ✔ @MMFlint
If u want a smart, responsible, compassionate President, she was standing there. If u want reality TV... well, which country do we live in?

"Did YOU do anything today 2 get Hillary elected? If not, she lost. If u spent today relieved & smug about her victory, she lost."
