His Bombast-O-Meter is stuck on Empty.
Can we all agree this guy is totally irrelevant?

(16,921 posts)That's not how he put it, but that would be the net effect. There is no purpose to continuing negative ads and attacks. It helps nobody but trump.
Go away and take your bad hair coloring with you.

(13,215 posts)He still has a lot of money but he could use that to pay for ads attacking Trump. There would be nothing illegal about that as long as Bernie does not formally end his campaign.

(13,215 posts)And I as a Sanders supporter I have said on numerous occasions that I will support the nominee. But how Bernie moves forward is his decision to make. He cares about his signature issues and he feels that by remaining in the race he will have a platform. As long as he is not mathematically eliminated from the race he has every right to remain in the race and he has every right to debate Joe Biden on Saturday.

(6,991 posts)Yes, the sound seems to have left MSNBC just as Moore was giving his little speech.
I really enjoyed his early work, because it shined a light on issues that needed a light shined on them. But the past several years he's turned completely into another person, a person that I don't really like or want to listen to any longer.

(251 posts)Michael Moore is dead wrong.
Number one, Biden will have enthusiastic support against Trump. Biden is a decent Liberal who will put Liberals on the SCOTUS AND PROTECT Obamacare, Medicare, and social programs, and bring back the attention to a Global warming agenda.
Number two, one doesn't need a super charismatic candidate like an Obama or a Kennedy when one is running against a depraved candidate like Trump.
Lyndon Johnson proved that in 1964 when he defeated Goldwater in a landslide.
The country is itching to throw him out

(686 posts)Tonight it became clear that the Sanders campaign is over. His supporters have every right to be disappointed just as every person here did when it became evident that their first choice was not going to be moving forward. I mean give them a little time. Michigan just happened. Michael Moore will be on MSNBC in the week before the election imploring that everyone get out and vote for Biden. He's a good guy fighting for the right people. Here he is doing the same for Hillary which includes calling for Bernie supporters to rally behind her:

Hortensis
(58,785 posts)AND we're determined captives of a crap system too. You've dumped quite a load on us there, but here's a Moore line from last night for you to add to your collection if you wish:
"Getting rid of Trump and the system at the same time was probably too much to ask."
Sanders always insists (like a talking doll with its string pulled) that Democrats are really just like Republicans. Democrats have never understood how that outrageously stupid attempt to slander would resonate with anyone, much less enough to repeat on every occasion, yet here it is, along with an echo of your own Stockholm notions, regurgitated in Moore's spiteful disappointment.
Enjoy if you will.

(53,061 posts)1) Michael Moore said "If people knew Sanders personally on a one to one basis like I know him they would have a very different understanding of him"
2) Being able to communicate to a mass audience and sharing yourself in an authentic way is a basic skill that all candidates need to develop.
3) MM is a professional documentary director. He knows that if he doesn't communicate his message in his medium it is his fault as a professional.
With Sanders (I) Vermont however he gives Sanders a pass and really accuses the audience of not being mature enough to grasp the profound Senator of Vermont.

I don't agree he's irrelevant at all. What I don't like about MM is he only left trumpland entire up free for 3 days, Moore you should have left it up free for a month! Trumpland was released 4 weeks before the election.

(2,042 posts)The pulse? My ass. Hes been talking for weeks about a Bernie surge. Talked about how something special was happening in Michigan. How youth voters are showing up for Bernie (even though data says otherwise).
He has no insight other than to whine. Pulse?
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
Sunlei
(22,651 posts)I'm always surprised by the friendship with the Clintons.
yes it is a shame youth vote is always so low. Was only 18% youth vote for the entire Clinton/Trump election (most voted in the D party)
This time Michigan youth voter turnout was about 12? percent. I guess most of those youth votes were early voters. Because the field primary was 17? contenders for president, I didn't want to early vote here in Texas and had to wait 3 hours in line.
Once I voted I was surprised to see the ballot still had 12 names on it. Those that had dropped out in the past 1-2 days I can understand why they're still on a ballot but people who dropped out long ago were on the ballot.
When you look at the numbers though Sanders clearly did not win- but he got a lot of votes. was the state about 400k to 500kBiden win? Those 400k weren't 'youth' either. I'm positive Joe Biden won't discount or disparage the very progressive Ds. I'm also positive if Sanders loses MM will vote for Joe Biden and so will I. So let us please be kind to each other- we're on the same side.
