Michael Moore made a 2 hour 44 minute mixtape for those standing in line at the polls

The Day has arrived. The verdict will soon be rendered. I have only one vote. So do you. But all of us together decide where we want the country to go.

I’ve been counting on the vast majority with whom I share this land, the ones who believe in the human rights of women, who believe that the human species is in deep environmental danger, who believe the rich, by getting richer, have made life harder for everyone else — I believe we, together, are going to turn this all around. Beginning today. Right?

To celebrate this day, I’ve made a playlist, a mixtape of special music for a special day. Something to listen to while in line at your polling place. Or listen to it tonight as you fall asleep. Or if you’ve already voted, just put it in your ears or on your sound system and let ‘er rip all day long. Feel good. Be proud of what you’ve done. Enjoy this moment. Have a virtual dance with me! Get ready for the future. There is much to do.

But today, sing a song, let out a yell, wear mismatched socks and share a simple kindness with someone. VOTE if you haven’t already! I’ll be at my polling location this afternoon. I will party with all of you tonight, no matter the outcome. We can’t be stopped now.

Enjoy the tunes! Michael Moore

There are some major Michael Moore haters here. Sad. I am not saying anything uncivil by stating this is so.

The DU is usually pretty non-combative, unless you are a STUPID.MOTHER.TRUMPER. Which you are not. Thanks for the tunes from the beloved Michael Moore.

I understand why he has rubbed some DUers the wrong way.

But I believe a man that is on my side MOST of the time is on my side. I don't kill the messenger unless he is a Trumpfed MAGA.

I am having a vision of Moore's tape being played in the long lines at polling places where armed MAGAs are terrorizing voters. Let the voters use this mixtape to have a dance party, right? We lift our voices no matter the outycome!
