(VitalNews.org) – Unhappy with his party’s lack of direction, liberal filmmaker Michael Moore slammed fellow Democrats for not reframing their strategy to counter the strong 2024 Republican challenge from presidential nominee Donald Trump.
He urged Democrats to shake off their fears of Trump’s return and develop a positive campaign narrative.
He worries that the party risks yet another defeat by allowing despair to distract from the core electoral issues at hand.
Moore’s urgent advice comes as the Democrat camp has faced significant changes. Following widespread criticism for his administration’s misfires, Joe Biden was forced to get off the ticket.
Kamala Harris then emerged as the party’s frontrunner, with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate.
Moore said he was confident about Democrats’ chances against Trump and felt more hopeful than in past elections.
However, key challenges remain: Harris is completely tied to unpopular Biden-era policies, including “Bidenomics” and support for Palestine during Hamas’ war against Israel.
Recognizing these issues, Harris began distancing herself from Biden. The Harris-Walz campaign plans to shift its messaging from a “threat to democracy” to “threat to freedom,” believing it will resonate better with voters.
“Kamala Harris will be in a much stronger position to win if she can run as the President of the United States. As the incumbent President,” Moore wrote. “This will give the country a chance to see her in action — as the most powerful person in the world.”
“She will have three and a half months (as they say, ‘an eternity in politics’) to show the American people her smarts, her strengths, her heart,” he added.
Moore thinks Democrats could gain a strategic edge by using humor and irony to provoke a reaction from Trump.
Ultimately, Moore emphasized that Democrats must not panic but instead focus on a well-organized, common-sense campaign that appeals to broader American values.
Given his previously accurate predictions, supporters believe Democrats would do well to consider his insights as they navigate the ever-changing political landscape toward November.
