Documentary filmmaker Michael Moore declared U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez the new leader of the Democratic Party, while urging political moderates to take a position because there is no middle ground anymore.
She is the leader. Everybody knows it. Everybody feels it, Moore said of the freshman congresswoman from New York during a Friday interview on MSNBC.
Moore said the age requirement to run for president - 35 - should be constitutionally amended so that Ocasio-Cortez could make a play for the White House. He said Ocasio-Cortez is the leader of a movement, citing a Fox News poll that showed voters favored her proposal to increase the tax rate to 70 percent for the richest Americans.
Moore also urged those with moderate views to take a position, in response to a question about whether someone like Ocasio-Cortez, with very progressive politics, could turn off moderates.

Incredible. Shes 29 and has been in congress less than a month. The Dems have lost their minds.And let's not forget that she's far from the sharpest knife in their drawer.

When the war comes, all these elitist libs can climb down into their private little Fuher bunkers to hide out. We will find them all, and crack them open....then the fun will begin.

There's no middle ground. There's no time for moderation, he continued. Probably the only thing fatboy ever said I agree with.

I do not see how the Democratic Party is being pulled into “irrelevance” now that they have the majority in the House AND are allowing LEGAL immigration to continue undermining American values.
The voting public that was ignorant enough to elect Obama and reelect Obama is NOT getting smarter.

Make the pro-dick-tator Communist OWN his extremist far left militant politics.
https://www.investors.com/politics/commentary/an-old-tweet-from-michael-moore-underscores-that-socialism-doesnt-work-ever/
Sometimes it’s been hard to tell with socialist filmmaker Michael Moore whether he’s trolling you or really serious when he says certain things. Case in point: An old tweet on Venezuela, vintage 2013, in which Moore celebrated the nationalization of that nation’s oil company, PDVSA. It’s been an unmitigated tragedy.
“Hugo Chavez declared the oil belonged 2 the ppl. He used the oil $ 2 eliminate 75% of extreme poverty, provide free health & education 4 all,” Moore tweeted nearly four years ago.
Time hasn’t been kind to Moore, in many ways. This tweet in particular now seems like little more than rank ignorance by someone who actually seems to believe that socialism a system that has never succeeded anywhere it’s been tried on earth is superior to the free market.

Too many Democrat politicians ran from the Democrat Party in the Republican RINO Party instead of taking back the control of their own party.
