    Folks may not like it, but Michael Moore has been right about pretty much everything.

      When someone's right often enough, you don't disown them for one bad take here or there. A bad action? OK, that's different. But a few shitty opinions in a sea of good ones should be critiqued and discarded; you shouldn't write off the whole person.

      Everything in this comment applies to left unity, too.

        "He tweeted Michelle Obama should run for President, which I consider an actionable offense." - some dog-eared misanthrope

        Moore holds the surreal, distinguished honor of being loathed by the triumvirate of libs, conservatives, and tankies alike.

          I feel like there is something to his idea of a michelle obama presidency.

          Imagine how she might act during these protests, or occupy over Barack. Maybe she would listen a little more to public pressure, maybe her precense in the white house would exacerbate the fascist esthetic without pushing us straight into fascism the way the racists would behave while material conditions will continue to suck might be enough to not have a bunch of people go back to sleep.

          I'm fairly certain Trump has little to do with the anger in my extended family.

          I only say all of this, becayse I am sure Michael Moore is putting just slightly more thought into it than democrats love her.

          I could be totally wrong

            Given the present dystopia, I think just about every shit talker would prefer M.Obama over Biden.

              Oh yeah i guess that's what it comes down to.

              I used to get annoyed at the idea of it when it's brought, because to my knowledge she has worked on hospital finance boards, which worries me she would really gum up the M4A fight.

              But... She would most drfinitely be easier to pressure, not because she is weak or anything, but because i feel like she might actually care
