Michael Moore says Dems need to accept far-left Ocasio-Cortez as party leader: 'No middle ground anymore'
Fox News, Feb 3, 2019, Louis Casiano

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.'

So... the gloves are off, the mask is dropped, and the facade is down....

officially?

It's going to be a major shock to some, if not most, Americans.  To many of us here...

not so much.

Yes.  They are self-destructing as we speak.  Fighting among themselves.  Black-face moon walking governor.  Nancy can't control crazy women and is afraid to criticize them.

Can't find an electable candidate ... even Bezo lost his mojo.  It's kinda fun, unless they somehow get power.

One of the rare moments I agree with Moore
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

The big rumor is that she will replace Pelosi soon. I hope it is true.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Maybe as leader ... but not as Speaker.  She's not old enough to serve as POTUS.

I  saw it suggested, that Trump appoint AOC to be ambassador to Venezuela.

I wonder what Sasse, Flake, Ryan, Romney, Kristol Jeb would say to that?

Lucky for her. If she did pose any kind of a threat to Pelosi, no doubt she would suddenly have some kind of unfortunate accident. Democrats play hardball when it comes to gaining or keeping power, to any extreme.

They can regroup, but I agree they are self-destructing.

Frankly I am surprised there isn't a plan in place to declare Oprah to be their candidate at the Dim Convention.

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
AOC is a flash in the pan, and long term, few will take her seriously.  She has a big mouth with fruitloop ideas that will go no where.

70% tax rate?  Really?  And a poll of fruitloops support the notion.  Polls can say whatever you want them to say.  Most who conduct polls are the mainstream corrupt media, not worth the paper they would be printed on.

My favorite poll was that HRC would defeat Trump by 7%.  Polls should be taken with a grain of salt.

And what is with Michael Moore?  He could not sound more crazy, supporting AOC as a presidential candidate.  AOC is right up there with Maxine Waters and Hank Johnson, and Moore wants her for president?   Ugggh
