Michael Moore criticized “frightened” Democrats who were reportedly allegedly apprehensive about Vice President Kamala Harris’s potential to defeat former President Donald Trump, describing them as startlingly disconnected.
Moore participated in a conversation with CNN’s Brianna Keilar on Monday regarding the election.
According to Moore, there was no “dead heat,” despite the fact that Keilar had observed that the majority of polls had Trump and Harris evenly divided or within a few percentage points of one another.
“I honestly think we’re going to have one of our largest turnout sever. I don’t think that many people are going to stay home. I certainly hope not because of everything that’s at stake,” Moore said.
“Democrats, they’re such a frightened group of people. I mean, people still think that Trump is going to win. This is kind of shocking to me. Like, don’t you live with people? Are you not aware that there’s going to be a tsunami of women voting between now and Election Day?” he continued.
The director also recently cautioned Harris that a move to the center would result in the loss of her progressive base.
On Monday, he reiterated this counsel, arguing against Democrats who believe Harris should alter her strategies and tone down her rhetoric in order to garner more support from the middle.
Moore rejected this assertion, contending that voters are in agreement with Harris on critical issues such as climate change and firearms control.
Moore was significantly less optimistic about the Democrats’ prospects in November when President Joe Biden was still at the head of the ticket.
The filmmaker was a vocal critic of the president’s chances in November and assisted in the organization of a protest movement that resulted in over 100,000 individuals voting “uncommitted” in the Michigan Democratic Party primary.
