Progressive film-maker says he’s more optimistic than he’s ever been since Trump announced first run eight years ago
Read the article hoping Moore elaborated the quote in the headline. It’s not there and I wanted to know what “do weird and cringe until the debate, then nail him” means specifically from his perspective.
Anyone have a guess?
I don’t think it is anything specific, just support for the current approach the Harris/Walz campaign tactics and then to take it more seriously at the debate. Which is probably the plan already.
How my parents hated Michael Moore. He reminded them of a guy who they felt always got the best of them. There was a resemblance. The person in question was well educated and pretty smart. He could see my parents manipulation of events and always got ahead of them. He wasn’t a bad person. He wasn’t religious but donated 100 grand to a church that was rebuilding from a fire because most of his employee’s attended it. My parents tried to make the donation a bad thing. My parents also died maga chumps.
I also hate Michael Moore. I was all about him during the Bush admin. He spoke out against the Patriot act, the wars, the torture, the drone strikes. He made talk show appearances, wrote books, filmed movies. Then Obama got elected and did the same exact shit for another 8 years and suddenly Michael Moore had nothing to say, complete radio silence. Fuck that guy.
I don’t understand your hate. You hate him because his message has been consistent for 25 years?
Edit: full disclosure. I met Mr. Moore in 1998. He generously gave his time to speak to everyone that wanted to speak with him. He gave out personal contact information to some community organizers, and really seemed interested in helping a bunch of us kids who were trying to change the world. I really respect him a lot.
No. I hate him because suddenly all the things he’d been rallying against during the Bush years weren’t problems anymore when Obama was doing it. It was never about the crimes against humanity, it was about who was committing them. That’s not ideological consistency, it’s quite the opposite.
Which wars did Obama start again???
Talk about ignorant, lol.
He didn’t have to start them, they were already ongoing. He continued them, escalated them, expanded them into Syria, renewed the patriot act, didn’t shut down gitmo, didn’t ban torture, didn’t do any of the things he implied he’d do with his “hope and change” slogan. Obama didn’t change shit. We might as well have had 2 more terms of Bush. But, strangely, Michael Moore had nothing to say about that.
There’s gonna be a debate? I would probably enjoy a VP debate the most.
Cool collected old neighbour schooling and ridiculing the weird asshole?
Yeah, this might be delicious. But it is seriously worrying that this is supposed to be a debate and a political reality.
Walz has already agreed to one on I believe October 1st. CBS maybe? Just waiting on Weird couch fucking, cross dressing Vance
Are we sure we want to paint crossdressing in a negative light? I know they hate it, but it’s kind of friendly fire, no?
Hypocrisy. We are painting hypocrisy in a negative light
True. I just don’t want to associate crossdressing with “bad weird”.
We don’t. They do. That simple
Ok, what I’m saying is, I think it’s easy to read your statement as doing that. I know it’s not what you mean, but it’s good to be mindful of how your statements may be interpreted so that we don’t unintentionally harm our own friends. Textual ambiguity and all that.
I’m a cross dresser and I was not offended.
Tell Michael Moore to join Neil deGrasse Tyson in the “We don’t want to hear from you anymore” line.
I honestly don’t know who he is off the top of my head. I’m glad more people are sick of NDT though. He just seems like a conceited ass that refuses to be wrong
We need a reincarnation of Carl Sagan. He was a great science communicator.
We just need Carl Sagan, Fred Rodgers, Bob Ross, and Harambe back, and then everything will be okay again.
