Oh, Michael!

[Hoyt]

1. But truth is, Moore was a lot closer than the pollsters and he was right in 2016.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

21. True.

[StarfishSaver]

26. But he was still wrong. Just like he was wrong in 2018 and 2012.

He's usually wrong. He's not a soothsayer. There are only two outcomes. Every year, he picks the same one - the Democrats are going to lose. Sometimes he's right. Usually, he's wrong.

In other words, he's just about as reliable a prognosticator as a coin toss. I don't know why anyone pays attention to him.

[LizBeth]

2. First Moore thread I can appreciate.

[relayerbob]

3. As long as he's getting paid ...

Can't stand the guy

[tman]

4. Moore said the same shit in 2012.

Biden & Obama rally a few days before election shows Biden's team didn't take it for granted.

[fishwax]

5. six days ago, he was saying exactly what the Biden campaign was saying

that it was closer than the polls were showing and closer than the media discussion would have you believe. That's what Michael Moore said on Brian Williams and that's what the texts and social media posts from Biden and Harris kept telling me.

People here were quick to pooh-pooh the idea, but it was clearly true.

Moore's message and the Biden/Harris message shared another point of overlap: get to the polls and get your friends to the polls and we'll be able to pull this out.

And that was true too.

[PTWB]

15. It is amazing how many people can't process truth...

When it is unpleasant truth.

[melody]

6. Moore's pics with Kushner and Assange say it all, IMO n/t

[localroger]

7. Moore gets a lot of shit because we don't like what he's saying

...but he's usually either right or trying to get us to do something we badly need to do.

[Laffy Kat]

8. I agree.

He's pretty savvy, IMO. It doesn't matter if people like him or not.

[CatLady78]

9. Indeed.nt

[StarfishSaver]

27. He's not savvy. He was saying the same thing the Biden campaign, political pros, many pundits

and a whole lot of people on the ground were saying.

I don't know why people think Moore is an oracle.

[miyazaki]

10. That's correct sir.

There's a virtual stoning of him and Bill Mahr here about once a week.
Nothing new.

[Raine]

11. Exactly. nt

[Gothmog]

14. I disagree

Moore is not credible. This “person” supported Nader. His last couple of movies have been complete flops

[PTWB]

16. He knows his shit a lot more than most folks.

I don’t always agree with his choices but he’s got his finger on the pulse of what’s really happening with voters and turnout and what messages are resonating (and which ones aren’t).

[Gothmog]

18. I strongly disagree

I find this person to be very weak and wrong on almost every thing. This “person” supported Nader. That disqualifies this “person” as a source. Again I cannot stand this person and change the channel when this “person” is on.

[StarfishSaver]

28. He's almost always wrong.

But the fact that he was right once makes people treat him like he had some special insights.

[Gothmog]

38. Yes Moore is almost always wrong

I do not understand people who find this "person" to be credible.

[localroger]

32. "person" in quotes? Really? nt

[Gothmog]

37. I have very strong feelings about this "person"

Again, I do not understand why anyone thinks that this "person" is credible. I have not found this "person" to be right about anything including his clami that it was a good move to support Nader.

[localroger]

40. I don't give a shit how strong your feelings are

Referring to another human being as if they are not human, or as an animal or inanimate object, is the rhetoric of violence and totalitarianism. It is what our enemies do. Cut it the fuck out.

As for Moore being wrong about everything, the fact that he is about the only person who predicted that Trump might actually win in 2016 kind of knocks that over, even if it's the only thing he was ever right about in his entire life. That kind of shreds someone's credibility here, but it's not Moore's.

[Gothmog]

41. Moore is not a credible "person" and I really do not care if you find this "person" credible

I turn off MSNBC when this person is on and will continue to do so.

[Takket]

12. Michael Moore predicts Red Sox will break curse of the bambino in 2004 world series!

you heard it here last!!!!!!!!!!!

[Gothmog]

13. Why would anyone pay attention to this person?

I change channels whenever he is on MSNBC

[AmericanCanuck]

17. MM needs to check into an assisted living facility

and never talk to the press again

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. I loved his movies years ago, but he's just become irrelevant these days.

Oh well.

We’ll always have Canadian Bacon, I suppose.

[Gothmog]

39. His last movie really bombed at the box office

I was amused that this film did so poorly

[betsuni]

20. The guy who said: "We have to take over the Democratic Party!"

"I've come to the conclusion that the old guard of the Democratic Party is a greater roadblock to social progress than Trump is."

Oh, Michael. That's show business!

[anamnua]

22. It's people like Michael Moore

who warned against complacency and flattering polls in the final weeks who saved our bacon here.

[RandiFan1290]

23. That really bothers the trump supporters. nt

[StarfishSaver]

29. I didn't need Michael Moore to warn me or anyone I know not to be complacent

I don't know anyone who was complacent. We were too busy working our asses off and trying to tune out the noise being ginned up by self-appointed "experts" like Moore giving us unneeded advice and instructions from the sidelines.

[JI7]

31. Why didn't he do the same in the Primary ?

[StarfishSaver]

24. Moore keeps picking one of two possible outcome, and the occasional time his pick happens

he's treated as some kind of a soothsayer - never mind that he's wrong more often than he's right.

[NurseJackie]

42. He's the Sylvia Browne of fringe punditry.

I can't stand to look at him. He's disgusting.

[malaise]

25. Michael Moore is an asset not a liability n/t

[marmar]

30. Thank you.

[mtnsnake]

33. Yes, and we need every asset available to us

MM is way more of a positive for Democrats than a negative. There is no doubt about that. I think some people get upset with him the second one of his opinions doesn't live up to their own ideals, even if they agree with him about everything else.

[malaise]

34. THIS

although I think it's simply when he disagrees with them on anything.

I think some people get upset with him the second one of his opinions doesn't live up to their own ideals

[NurseJackie]

43. His negativity is divisive and has LONG TERM negative effects. He does NOTHING to promote unity or...

His negativity is divisive and has LONG TERM negative effects. He does NOTHING to promote unity or cohesiveness. He does nothing to promote trust and cooperation. He does, however, PROMOTE HIMSELF.

I think some people get upset with him the second one of his opinions doesn't live up to their own ideals,

No, it's that he's a liar and a grifter. He's a Ralph Nader supporter who never misses an opportunity to shit on the party, or to ridicule stalwart Democrats like Obama, Pelosi... and now Biden.

He has NOTHING positive to offer, only ridicule and that typical "I know better than you" attitude and talking-down to our respected and experienced party leaders. He's as bad as some politicians. Truly divisive with no redeeming value.

What useful purpose does it serve? It's just another example of how people are oddly willing to do and say things that create an atmosphere of fear and hopelessness and negativity. Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.

MM is way more of a positive for Democrats than a negative.

[LiberalFighter]

35. I don't listen to him. I switch stations when he is on or mute him.

He is not good for the country.

[themaguffin]

36. I appreciate his warning in 2016, but overall, he's NOT helpful or productive.
