Michael Moore on Chris Hayes for anyone interested,

[babylonsister]

talking about his new flick.

[oasis]

1. Gonna be good. Town hall format.

[babylonsister]

2. Yes! About to talk to 2016 non-voters.

I'm real curious to know how they feel about that now.

[oasis]

4. Thousands of dumbasses.

[maxsolomon]

5. I've run into a few of them on FB

they're clinging to their false equivalences. "they all do it", "we need to get rid of all of them".

uh huh.

[babylonsister]

23. Oh, me, too.

I just like shoving facts into their snouts. Of course it's all fake news.

[oasis]

3. tens of thousands of Michigan voters didn't mark ballots for presidential slot

according to Moore. people biting their noses off etc.

[MattP]

6. They never reviewed them by hand

https://www.google.com/amp/thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/national-party-news/311099-skeptical-70000-black-voters-abstained-from%3famp

Moore should focus on anti voting practices more

[oasis]

10. He's got time to pick up on it.

[Blue_true]

38. If people didn't fill out the choice, what difference does checking the ballot make?

Maybe he should do specials on the no difference idiots like Susan Sarandon and Cornel West.

[Sparkly]

8. ....

Can. Not. Stand it.

[oasis]

7. "Not inspired by candidates....blah ....blah."

how about getting inspired by a SCOTUS that gonna keep their feet on your neck.

"Lesser of two evils" echoed another dummy.

[babylonsister]

9. That one woman ran for office; that's a positive. nt

[oasis]

13. A vote for Hillary would have been more positive, and more productive. nt

[babylonsister]

20. I agree there, especially since she lost. nt

[Sparkly]

21. Understatement of the year!

[oasis]

29. Hillary helped expose the plight of those Flint folks. The least

they could do was mark an "x" by her name on the ballot.

[Sparkly]

37. She was there for them.

And for their jobs, debt-free education, healthcare, childcare, and human/women's rights.

[Raine]

14. that's why I hate those town hall formats

too many dummies for me to stomach.

[badhair77]

17. Exactly. Unbelievable.

[oasis]

22. They'd rather continue grinding their axes than vote.

[Awsi Dooger]

28. And they don't use the truly stupid ones

These are middle of the pack dummies. No result is shocking once that is understood

[Blue_true]

48. Some of them show up on DU.

Demanding that minority democrats do something when they don't control the agenda. And bashing any democrat that isn't their idea of perfect.

[oasis]

51. Those types are never satisfied, no matter who is office. nt

[Blue_true]

52. Yep. They just don't understand how government actually work. nt

[JI7]

53. i think many are attention whores also

that's why they go on these type of shows and panels.

[Blue_true]

55. Maybe.

The damage that they have done will likely last a good 20-30 years unless they stop the bullshit and vote democrat in every election.

[MattP]

11. I was looking forward to this movie but he's talking me out of it

[babylonsister]

24. He hasn't hardly touched on the movie yet. nt

[skylucy]

12. Oh man. It is hard to listen to these non voters who haven't learned their

lesson from 2016. My head is gonna explode.

[badhair77]

15. I turned the channel. They did not inspire me.

[Blaukraut]

16. I would ask exactly what it was that made Hillary 'evil'

I guarantee that neither of them would be able to come up with any specific policy stance of Hillary's that they would find objectionable.

[Agschmid]

18. Yup.

Fuck that shit.

[Sparkly]

25. Propaganda.

The Kremlin is EXPERT at this.

[Blaukraut]

26. Yes! And years of vilifying by FOX et al n/t

[Agschmid]

19. Non voters... who then want people to vote for them?!?!

[skylucy]

30. Yes! I couldn't believe my ears. Did I hear her say that she was running for office

but she wasn't sure she was going to vote in November? Did I really hear her say that?!

[Agschmid]

46. Your ears were not lying.

What. The. Fuck.

[muntrv]

27. So while they wait to be inspired, Trump and his lackeys burn down the nation.

[babylonsister]

31. Yup. I am glad Chris was outraged. nt

[John Fante]

35. What did he say?

[babylonsister]

36. A non-voted claimed they didn't vote

because neither candidate inspired them. He lit into them; this isn't about being inspired by a person. You don't have to like someone to vote for them, only their imo future positive effectiveness. Didn't happen obviously.

[John Fante]

41. Thank you. I can't bring myself to watch this, so I really appreciate it.

[wasupaloopa]

49. The not inspiring bull shit was said here after the 2014 election.

Before the election everyone said they would vote but after it was said “there wasn’t anything to vote for.”

As for the students, they all can vote absentee!

[JI7]

32. sounds like a bunch of attention whores

[oasis]

33. Moore's morphing into Obama bashing. Inexplicably.

[babylonsister]

34. I am Obama's biggest fan but

if that happened, why, and why have we never heard about it?
Very curious and imo doesn't sound like it was something Obama would order. I hope we get an explanation.

[marlakay]

40. Very upsetting to me to

Also love Obama but if that happened there where I felt these people were left sick and dying thats awful...

[oasis]

43. Why did Moore bring it up now? Furthermore, the Defense Dept.

doesn't make a habit of asking the President when and where to conduct their exercises.

[babylonsister]

56. Because he was covering Flint. nt

[Cha]

57. Moore's full of shite.. I don't trust a gd word out of his ******* mouth..

Michael Moore calls Obama a ‘huge disappointment’

<Moore continued: “When the history is written of this era, this is how you’ll be remembered. He was the first black president. OK, not a bad accomplishment. But that’s it. That’s it, Mr. Obama. A hundred years from now, (it’ll be noted that) he was the first black American that got elected president. And that’s it — eight years of your life and that’s what people will remember.”>

BULLSHIT that's all what people will remember about President Obama. That's what Moore wishes.. ain't gonna happen.

Moore is a HUGE Disappointment.. Always Whining his Freaking head off about President Obama.

[John Fante]

39. He does it a lot in his documentary too. Just in time for the mid-terms

too.

[JI7]

44. the below was around the same time during the last midterms

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/michael-moore-slams-obama-history-731563

[oasis]

50. Very interesting. I'm sorry I bought several of his books in years past.

[John Fante]

54. Sounds like something a right-wing talking head would say.

Historians who aren't caught up in purity contest BS already consider Obama an upper-tier POTUS - his stature will only grow with time.

[Cha]

59. Yep, he's still RF.. he knows he's got his suckers.

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/michael-moore-slams-obama-history-731563

[Cha]

58. Moore's a jealous asshole.. just continuing his asshole comments from 2014..

[demmiblue]

42. Good show.

I tried listening with an open mind, but was irritated by the non-voters.

The armed forces exercises were disturbing... I wonder why we never heard about it.

Flint has been through hell, that is for sure.

Now Detroit has contaminated water in the schools (the water has probably been contaminated for longer than we know).

[Lisa0825]

45. I am fuming...

These non-voters on Chris Hayes tonight are really pissing me off!!! People like you share responsibility for those who will die due to Repug policies, like dismantling ACA, making abortion illegal, failing our Puerto Rican citizens, etc. Don't act all high and mighty like you made some noble fucking choice. You bear as much blame as those who supported Trump directly.

Chris Hayes: "The difference is whether people get poisoned or not (re:Flint)! Who cares if they're inspiring?!"

[a kennedy]

47. I think Cris Hayes has found his element......

Chris is doing a good job at this type of format.......

[DeminPennswoods]

60. Moore is becoming a parody of himself

His documentaries, movies or however one wishes to categorize them just seem so disjointed from the clips I've seen. Moore seems increasingly nutty.

[moondust]

61. My favorite part of the show

was MM telling the story about the UAW strike in Flint and the amazing quality of life improvements the auto workers and then others got because of union organizing.

Flint sit-down strike

(I've always assumed this was part of the motive for corporations later moving a lot of jobs offshore where there were lots of workers who were not organized and possibly never would be. I've even wondered if that was part of the reason Nixon went to China: gain access to an endless supply of cheap labor. )

[Cha]

62. It's amazing how Susan Sarandon and Michael Moore both have projects timed to release just before..

63. Pass. And pass.

Ick.
