I mean being Michael Moore I kind of get why Conservatoids would hate him, and disdain him, but I can't believe he literally hasn't said anything that people on this site could largely get behind.

https://www.newsweek.com/michael-moore-says-clinton-biden-trump-bandwagon-refusing-support-bernie-sanders-potential-1485294

Sorry, anybody accuses me of being on a Trump "bandwagon" or on his side in any way, shape or fashion will earn more than a little disdain from me or any other Biden backer.

I hate Trump with the white-hot intensity of an exploding supernova and will get a little pissed off if somebody says otherwise just because I prefer somebody else over his chosen candidate.

But with all the Democratic Senators and fellow Candidates endorsing Biden could there be a certain amount of truth in what Hillary said?

"but I can't believe he..."

...or spokesperson, he is insufferable.

I recall when he offered himself up as leader of the "the resistance" before the 2018 elections, and apparently no one took him up on it.

He blamed the anti-Hillary votes in the GE on people just giving up, when we know that it was largely the aggressive disinformation agenda coming from three opposition campaigns. “Just giving up” really means that Bernie lost and certain campaigns just couldn’t accept it.
