Now on MSNBC with Ari: I don't care what Michael Moore has to say.

[madaboutharry]

He is on now talking to Ari on MSNBC trashing Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar for leaving the race and supporting Biden. He sounds very immature as he is whining about....politics. It's POLIITCS Michael.

He sounds bitter and angry and is accusing Pete and Amy of taking away peoples' right to vote for them in vain!

My heart broke yesterday and I cried watching Pete give his speech. I will always love him. But I believe he did the right thing. And Amy too.

[LaurenOlimina]

1. He said they dropped out because they are scared of Bernie.

[Celerity]

9. thats is actually true, lolol scared of how BS would get crushed by orange bloat & lose us the House

[sheshe2]

12. Bingo.

[LaurenOlimina]

14. I think he is right.

It is pretty unprecedented to drop out the day BEFORE a primary.

Also, this was pretty much the reasoning cited around here last night, that Pete was falling on his sword for the party. A quick googling reveals articles in the Dallas Morning News, New York Times and the Hill saying similar things.

You just said bernie would cost us the house. That sounds like something to be afraid of to me.

[Celerity]

16. I fell on my sword and watched some Fux news... already they are doing highly sophisticated but also

viscous commmmmmmmmmmmmmmmie!! red baiting entire programmes, all with Sanders at the epicentre and listing all the Blue Flips in the House as commie traitors as well. (which is LAUGHABLE, but that is how it would and still may will go)

[LaurenOlimina]

17. It'll go that way for Biden too.

Hell, people on our side have done that to Bernie.

[Celerity]

18. but there is FAR less self-produced shite on Biden in regards to Biden v Bernie and socialism

[LaurenOlimina]

19. Sure. That doesn't matter.

Obama was a Kenyan Muslim Nazi Socialist don't you know. Thee truth doesn't matter there. I wouldn't base my views of Fox News name calling.

[Celerity]

21. big difference between RW conspiracy theory and hundreds of videos and articles with Bernie saying

exactly what they are accusing him of being. The adverts are already writing themselves, have been for decades.

[LaurenOlimina]

23. Again... You don't think they already have a slate of ads based on Joe's past?

Anita Hill
The Bankruptcy Bill
Hell, they will go back to the accusations of plagiarism that drove him from the 1988 run.

And Burisma, that's part of the grand conspiracy don't you know. None of these candidates is without baggage. Biden is not holier than Bernie.

[Celerity]

24. Biden doesn't put the House at risk, or at least certainly not to the level Sanders does.

I was Pete from the start, I was the first OP in the Pete group. I worked my little brown arse off for him in RL here in the EU and UK with my fairly large network of expats. Biden was far down my list, but he is the best, electorally-wise, of those who are left, warts and all. I am at heart a ruthlessly practical young woman (with some exceptions, I am not a completely stoic, taciturn rock), and practicality dictates GO JOE, at least for me.

[LaurenOlimina]

25. Michael Moore's mistake was saying SC didn't represent the Democratic Party.

That was unconscionable.

[Celerity]

26. well, in Moore's case, a bellend is going to bellend

[kwenu]

33. It's what they believe

and Black people are having NONE of it. The threat of "white nationalism" and racism is secondary to the REVOLUTION!

[Docreed2003]

37. This

[relayerbob]

49. Yep

[nolabear]

2. He is more disgusting all the time.

SC isn’t America? They’re afraid of Bernie? Man, he sounds worse all the time.

[MontanaMama]

5. Yep.

He said that. I gasped when he did.

[sheshe2]

15. Please tell me he did not say that.

SC isn’t America

He should be fired for that comment. He disrespects the African American voters, our parties base, with that comment.

[Cha]

55. Naderite Michael Moore is Full of Shite.. he actually said

"..all Obama would be remembered for is being America's first Black President"..

Rob Reiner said this tonight according to this OP..

I really like something Rob Reiner said tonight [View all]

He brought up the 2000 election and Nader supporters saying Bush and Gore were the same. But if Gore had won then no Iraq war and a 20 year jump on climate change.

[c-rational]

66. +1

[katmondoo]

3. I am here on DU because I do not want to listen to Michael Moore.

[MontanaMama]

4. Michael Moore

is full of shit on this topic. Amy and Pete are Dems...they’re allowed to leave the race when they choose. And, if they choose to leave at a strategic moment...again their right.

[LakeArenal]

39. Two weeks ago Sanders were calling for them all to drop out.

Now they wanted them to stay in.

[MontanaMama]

40. Well there are rules

and Bernie’s rules which will change on a moment’s notice.

[PatSeg]

6. I can't listen to Michael Moore anymore

He makes no sense at all.

[MontanaMama]

42. Those are some sour grapes

Moore is sucking on.

[C_U_L8R]

7. It's kinda pathetic

Moore's fingerpointing and fear/pouting sounds weak and disconnected. I thought he's usually a pretty good guy but c'mon. No one's vote has been stolen and there is no conspiracy. That's Trumpian bullshit. And you know, we've all had it with these folks disparaging the Democratic Party. It's us. All of us. Join up. You're invited.

[Fla Dem]

22. Laying the groundwork for a contested convention.

[oasis]

8. MM is pathetic. "I don't know what's happened to our party".

"Our party"? You Naderiite voting MAGAt who in Oct of 2016 said "the working class should vote for Trump in order to fight elitists".

[Aaron Pereira]

10. Michael Moore is OK but he's dead wrong about this.

Candidates dropping out along the way is exactly the way the primary process is supposed to work. It's an open way of letting the voters decide the outcome.

Make deals now and then let the cards fall where they may to determine which name is the strongest going into the convention.

[Gothmog]

11. Thank you for the warning

I will erase The Beat from DVR and not watch this show tonight

[NYMinute]

13. In a few days, Michael Moore will need a stent or two

[mopinko]

20. "who does that? who drops out before super tuesday? why? who?"

smart pols who intend to stay pols. ya idiot.

and yeah, the heart of the party doesnt want to "stop bernie". they just want to win. that's how it works. only one person wins, and if you want it to be you, that means you stop the other guy.

[still_one]

27. Moore is a disgrace and has been so for some time. He was put in his place by

Ashley Judd when he started trashing the Democratic party during the women's march

I really wish Moore who said a vote for Gore was a vote for bush would go away

[AGeddy]

28. I used to love Michael Moore. Then he helped Gore lose in 2000 when he supported Nader.

[SiliconValley_Dem]

29. That guy has made some great documentaries

But he is not good at politics.

[Steelrolled]

30. Michael is non-political which is why I like to hear what

he has to say. But I admit, this also tends to be self-defeating.

[kwenu]

31. Hard left socialists believe that Bernie's campaign in the Trump era is

the best shot they'll ever get to win a revolution. They are very emotional about it.

[Steelrolled]

58. They don't even have to be that hard left.

[PubliusEnigma]

32. Moore is such a whinebag.

He just had to call in to shill for Bernie, and complain about the fact that real Democratic Party is circling the wagons.

[bucolic_frolic]

34. Michael Moore is another talking head that doesn't have it all together

There is a theory they're all the same personality type with variations - narcissistic! They ALL like attention, it goes with being a leader, in the media spotlight. They are not a smooth scene when things don't go their way.

[pnwmom]

35. This is encouraging, really. That Moore thinks this is SUCH bad news for Bernie! n/t

[Firebrand Gary]

36. Michael Moore should run for office.

And stop telling others how to do it.

[efhmc]

38. I have given up on MM helping anything. He just reports and whines.

I did not like Charlton Heston but the way he tricked that old man about guns when he made Bowling for Columbine bothered me then and still does.

[George II]

41. Beto O'Rourke is endorsing Biden tonight, too. All three will be at the Dallas rally!

[JGug1]

44. Beto Too?

That is fabulous. Great. These are NOT "establishment" candidates. Pete came from nowhere. Beto skyrocketed after losing by not much to Cruz. I'm not found of Amy because of reports of her being abusive to staff and her validating those reports by refusing to shake Pete's hand after the next to last debate.

[JGug1]

43. Michael Moore

I've always liked what he had to say.....until NOW.

[wyldwolf]

45. Petulant Progressives.

[Paladin]

46. I lost my enthusiasm for Michael Moore some time ago. (nt)

[ouija]

48. Well

The Democratic Party is not to keen on this democracy thing at the present moment...so there’s that.

[TexasTowelie]

61. I never had any enthusiasm for Michael Moore.

I never went to any of his movies and ignore him when he is on TV.

[totodeinhere]

47. You don't care but apparently enough other people care what MM says that MSNBC decided to put him

on the air.

[madaboutharry]

50. Ari was a little confused why Moore called the show.

It was very awkward. Ari said it was unscheduled.

[Just_Vote_Dem]

52. MSNBC cares about a horse race that will increase ratings n/t

[McKim]

64. The News Media Has Been Very Friendly to Moderate Dems.

The News Media has been very friendly to moderate democrats and has been celebrating the Biden surge most all the time. I see nothing wrong with a short telephone interview with Michelle Moore who supports Sanders. Sanders has been able to gather large numbers of voters. They have a right to some coverage.

I wish the News Media had been more supportive of Warren. I so want her to stay in the race and be the candidate or the VP. We need her in the government! Secretary of the Treasury?

[totodeinhere]

65. You never know. Maybe a deadlocked convention could turn to her as a compromise

nominee.

[evertonfc]

51. Moore was probably on his 9th donut

when he called..sugar buzz. Why do they give that guy a platform. I mean, who the hell is He?

[totodeinhere]

54. I love donuts. n/t

[SylviaD]

53. Moore's not even a Democrat nt

[Steelrolled]

60. That's why I like to hear what he has to say.

He's liberal but isn't is restrained by party doctrine.

[SylviaD]

62. Bernie and Michael Moore can both go jump in a lake.

I'm tired of outsiders, "democratic socialists", and "independents" telling Democrats how to run campaigns, how to vote, etc.

They should proudly put the D after their names or GTFO

[wiley]

56. I don't care what Moore ever says anyway

Good for Ari. Moore is having a nervous breakdown.

[SylviaD]

63. Good for you! Moore is insufferable and not even a member of our party.

..and neither is Sen. Sanders.

Add the "D" after your name or GTFO. I'm tired of these people making up some kind of peanut gallery. Just go away and take the Never Trump Republicans too. I dont trust ANY of them

Its time for DEMOCRATS to decide.

[betsuni]

57. He says Democrats are afraid of Bernie because he wants to make health care available to all

Americans.

I'm sick of this. Who doesn't know that health care for all Americans is the signature Democratic issue? What won the mid-terms? Health care. What was (one of the things) freaking out Republicans about Obama for eight years? Health care. What was (one of the things) freaking out Republicans about Hillary during Clinton administration? Health care. Which party has been trying to pass a Medicare for All plan for decades?

[PatrickforO]

59. Yes. I think Pete will end up as President in 2024, 28 or 32.

He gained national prominence this time around, and made a lot of friends. Lots of people like him quite a lot.

[Baked Potato]

67. He seems compromised.
