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.
“If you're being moderate, stop being moderate. Take a position,” Moore responded. “There's no middle ground anymore. There's no halfway point to should somebody be paid a living wage. 'Well, I'm a moderate so I think they could be paid half of that living wage.'
"You know, on the issue of choice, there is no halfway there. You're either for it or you're against it. Do you believe in equal rights for women? Do you believe we should have an Equal Rights Amendment? There's no middle ground. There's no time for moderation,” he continued.

He wants the constitution to be amended so she can become president!
She must have promised ‘free tacos for everyone’
I get that's even catchier in the original German.
Mikey is as crazy if not more so than AOC.
Ok if you put it in such Stark terms, you either have to be leftist all the way, or conservative/deplorable.........
I will join the deplorables. Thanks Mike. Go make another slanted “documentary” about how deplorable Republicans and conservatives are.
“Fuhrer befehl! Wir folgen dir!”
Leader command! We will follow!
“because there “is no middle ground anymore.”
How about the middle finger tumble guts?
Hahahaha!
Big mouth with stupid ideas ,yep she’s Dem Leader alright
Outlawing energy and 90% taxation are what the DNC stands for now.
I second that. Lets nominate the tip stealing bartender.
They've never been moderate. They just kept their masks on. They are and have ALWAYS been pure socialists/communists/baby murderers.
Along with, abolishing ICE, being in favor of open borders and endless caravans of illegal aliens, infanticide, etc.
And they are proud of it.
“He wants the constitution to be amended so she can become president!”
Why? Just ignore the qualifications like they did for Bobo.
I have seen an interesting graphic, which I can’t find at the moment. On the right it shows the normal distribution of how the views of a large population of conservatives have trended further right over the last decade. But, it is just one smooth “normal” distribution. On the left, the normal distribution starts looking like you’d expect, one smooth, humped curve with two tails. But as time progresses, it divides into a two-hump distribution with a smaller hump further to the left. Both humps trend left over time, but the point is, AOC is in the far left tail of the further left distribution. The bulk of Democratic voters are to her right. So, Moore is wrong. She does not represent even a simple majority. I suspect she represents somewhere between 5-10% of the total; if that. By all means, make her the head of the party. A majority of Democrats would either not vote, vote third party, or vote Republican.
She won a house race by a couple thousand votes in deep blue district.
Hasn’t done squat. NEVER will do squat.
She’s a freaking failed bartender.
Bring it on!
Sounds like Mikey got the hots for occasional cortex.
