On the same day that Vice President Kamala Harris is campaigning in Flint, Michigan, director Michael Moore warns of “a huge mistake that could be made in the last four or five weeks” until Election Day.
“If wealthy donors advise Harris to eschew the left and abandon her more progressive positions in favor of ‘moving to the center,’” Moore wrote in a new Substack post, that could “reduce or reduce the vote.” Fahrenheit 9/11 director grew up in Flint’s suburbs, making the city The Midwesterner is famous for his debut documentary, Roger and Me. He also voices his political opinions on The Michael Moore Podcast, and has been a frequent critic of Donald Trump. In general, he thinks things are looking good for Harris.
“Right now, if you really know how to read polls, or if you have access to various private, internal polls that are conducted and only shared among elites, Wall Street, and members of Congress, you already know that the election was held since weeks ago,” assuming that Harris is the winner in several election scenarios. However, “it is not at all wise to do a victory dance at the two-yard line when Trump is your opponent.” As such, Harris has to walk a fine line to see One of his successful scenarios comes to fruition.
“Biden’s continued funding and arming of the Netanyahu regime has already depressed votes in Michigan,” Moore explains, so if Harris focuses toward the center, she could rock the boat. However, if she holds steady, Moore has glowing vice presidential prospects. “The vast majority of the country, the ordinary people, have seen enough and want the clown car to disappear into the MAGA vortex somewhere between reality and Orlando,” he writes.
What “I’m being told privately by people I respect—and not just in whispers, but in enthusiastic, spirited tones,” Moore writes, is that “a new age is being born, an age in which Caucasianness is just one of the options but no longer the bossy pants of the world.”
But he believes that complacency about Harris’ victory could be just as dangerous. “Total top polls to date show Harris will beat Trump in the Electoral College vote count 270 to 268, but I think we need more,” he wrote. “We need to make sure Trump loses in a landslide.”
