    If Harris is advised by her wealthy donors to shun the left and drop her more progressive positions in favor of a ‘move to the center,’” Moore, who grew up in the suburbs of the Midwestern city he made famous in his debut documentary *Roger & Me (but has since moved away), *writes in a new Substack post, it could “reduce or depress the vote.”

    There. That’s it. Fcking clickbait titles.

    With no snark intended, when was the last time that Michael Moore was culturally or politically relevant? I was a fan of his from his earlier work, but not sure why his take on anything would be valued over anybody else’s at this point. I’m not even necessarily disagreeing with his point, but not sure why anyone cares what he says about the race.

      I think that the main reason is that he was virtually alone in predicting Hilary Clinton’s loss in 2016 and then created a very incisive film about it. He’s been a supporter of Bernie Sanders in past campaigns and consistently argues for an orientation towards working-class politics as opposed to prevailing corporate liberalism of the Democrats. Now some would say that supporting the Democrats at all is a betrayal, but I’m staying out of that one for now.
