    Liberal activist and filmmaker Michael Moore slammed Speaker Nancy Pelosi Monday after she appeared on CBS's "60 Minutes," saying the California Democrat's "old tired privileged ways are over."

    Moore included a clip from Pelosi's interview in his tweet where she said that the progressive flank of the House Democratic Caucus, including freshmen such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), is “like five people.”

    "I do reject socialism as an economic system. If people have that view, that's their view. That is not the view of the Democratic Party," Pelosi said.

    The democrat party schism appears to be growing.

    The far left is basically calling out the democrat establishment, in favor of the fringe.

    Now the party has to figure out how its can appeal to moderates/non-socialists without the far left running off.

    Today's Democratic Party is facing an identity crisis on what they want to stand for. There is probably not much hope for them to take the swing state unless they start standing up for the working class of America.

    Of all the :censored:, MM is the smartest. He was warning the :censored: trump could win and they all laughed him off and wrote articles about how Texas was in play.

    Yeah he was one of the few that called Trump to win when everyone else was laughing about it.

    That earned him an ounce of street cred.

    Pelosi really isn't that dumb in terms of politics either and she knows this hard progressive tact will cost the democrats elections so she is trying to shut it down.

    And she is correct.

    She and the old guard have all the power but not the popularity though so it will be interesting to see where the party lands when this is all over.

    The 2020 election will be extremely interesting in this regard.

    If the extreme progressives get tossed out or get more elected will tell us the direction of the democratic party in the future. I believe it will be a turning point election.

    Liberal infighting makes me smile. They will eat their own for the most frivolous things, like pretending some of them aren't socialists. Too funny...

    If a :censored: told you they weren't a global socialist and they loved America and Americans, and you believe them, you're a total fool.

    Michael Moore is the Julian Assange of film-making.

    You know what else is hilarious? Listening to a rich white filmmaker with no artistic talent bleating about "privilege".

    Neither Pelosi nor Moore "get it".

    "It" is the Democratic Party has become
    the other party of Wall St. thereby shunning Main St.

    Social justice need not involve socialism.
    Witness the Eisenhower Tax Code.
    I would like the option of removing a Health Insurance Company and their profits
    from my health insurance. You want to pay their profits, choose it.

    That is some of what it is all about
    that neither Pelosi nor Moore understand.
    Peoples' frustrations do invoke "socialism".
    Social justice is the reasonable alternative
    Wall St. and their paid for deny us.


    Thus spaketh Moi

    He certainly isn't the Akira Kurosawa or Orson Welles of filmmaking. :lol:

    Interesting.

    I think Moore holds a lot of respect from the new crop of democrats.

    They are probably closer in line than either are to Pelosi.

    I think Bernie, AOC, Beta, et all should just start running under the party that they are. The Communist Party.

    The only thing Michael Moore holds in respect is a Crispy Cream Donut.

    They're all one big happy Democratic-Communist Party again, just like they were before the Soviet sympathizers marched out in 1948 to form the Progressive Party:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Party_(United_States,_1948)

    If it weren't for those damned anti-communist reactionaries like Harry Truman and tax-cutting capitalist running dogs like John F. Kennedy the Party's natural progression towards communism would have been achieved log ago.

    Make no mistake, the ONLY difference between Micahel Moore and Orson Wells is the difference between MacDonald's and the Waldorf Hotel Lunch Buffet:

    That has always been an issue for the Democratic Party.

    Threading that needle.

    It isn't any sort of "New" phenomenon, so why is the RW so worried?

    Has it ever occurred to the RW that should take care of their own party, instead of obsessing over the other side?

    Just a friendly inquiry.:salute:

    Michael Moore looks like 300 pounds of chewed bubblegum, and a ball cap.
    Typical champagne socialist crying about the 1%, while he is apart of the 1%.

    The democratic party is the larger tent of the two parties. The political spectrum of the left varies from moderate conservatives to left wingers. This is NOT new. And when I say left wingers, these aren't actual socialists. Just ask ACTUAL socialists in this country about democrats. They talk about democrats like democrats talk about the tea party. Michael Moore would not give up his private property at all. He just wants healthcare for everyone. That's not real socialism, so let's not throw the S word out there until we consult a dictionary, OK?

    As for schisms, they said the same thing about the GOP and the tea party faction. No really worries there and that's a group that's pretty far right on some issues compared to the mainstream GOP. I don't think anyone is worried. You might be excited at the fantasy of it all, but it won't party. The money and power is behind the mainstream, that's Pelosi and Chuck for now.

    Threading the needle between Karl Marx and JFK?

    Are Democrats Americans?

    LOL - That's quite a difference, and it's funny you mention that because it is reflected in the quality of their films. Moore grinds out documentary hamburgers while Welles created cinematographic filet mignon, including the greatest film ever made - Citizen Kane.
