In reply to the discussion: Michael Moore needs to shut up [View all]Oopsie Daisy
(6,180 posts)* the objective is to "punish" the Democrats for not being as pure as he views himself to be. Somehow, the only way to make Democrats "see the light" is to do and say things that sabotage and kneecap Democrats, and cause us to lose to the Republicans. People like Moore (and Turner, and Sarandon, etc.) are showboating and virtue signaling. They have others fooled. They really don't care about the issues they pretend to care about, otherwise, they would not so eagerly embrace the "nothingness" of a failing "all or nothing" philosophy -- and instead they'd see the value in incremental progress that is (surprise-surprise) actually progressive. For Moore and his like-minded minions find profit in the misery of others. When people are suffering the low-low-price of just $20-something per fundraising request (with the promise that "Only-I-can-make-things-better" and proclaiming that "Only-I-know-the-truth'') the actions that harm the Democratic party and which harm the most vulnerable among us, serves to line their pockets. Whether they're donating "in-solidarity" to Nina Turner, or buying cheesy DVD's that support and reinforce their own confirmation bias, this type of behavior only makes the grifters and gaslighters wealthy, but nothing to help anyone else. In the end, it suppresses voter turnout and makes it easier for the GOP to win.
