I just watched 'Where to Invade Next' and one thing really bothers me.

The conclusion that Michael Moore reached to solve America's problems is to place more women in important government positions and corporate boards. So why is he endorsing Bernie Sanders over Hillary Clinton?

I really like Michael Moore, but he is being a hypocrite in his endorsement of Sanders.

She isn't the only woman in politics or business.

MM is more closely aligned with Sanders platform.

I doubt he means that you support women without regard to character. By your logic, if the choice were between FDR and Sarah Palin, Moore would be obligated to vote for Palin..

a big Bernie fan.

And I guess 86% of us Vermonters are just hardcore. Or something.
