Liberal Filmmaker Resorts to Financial Terrorism to Discourage Third Party Candidates
Saying that the American political system has some kinks left to work out isn’t some revolutionary statement. In fact, it’s a rather mundane and spiritless way to put it.
The truth of the matter is that we are in a dichotic Hellscape of division and hyperbole. The media is stoking the fears and the flames, hoping for us to turn on our neighbors and fellow Americans, simply because this would be great for their bottom line, what with all the ad revenue accompanying the 24 hour coverage.
Those who promote the two-party, polarized, hyper partisan system all do so for selfish reasons. They understand that power of division and hatred, and, in many cases, they are dependent upon it for their very survival.
Michael Moore is one of those men who, without outrage to serialize, would be out of a job. Therefore, it suits him just fine to keep us in the boxes labeled “left” and “right”, poking each side when it’s time to release another film.
That’s why it is no surprise that Moore’s latest outrage is all about a far more successful entrepreneur than he is wanting to jump into the 2020 race as an independent.
Left-wing documentary filmmaker Michael Moore called on opponents of President Donald Trump to boycott Starbucks until the company’s former CEO drops his plans to run as an independent presidential candidate in 2020.
Appearing on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Thursday, Moore immediately expressed his disdain for Schultz, who has boasted of being a “self-made billionaire.”

It’s a form of socialism, public housing, and yet he’s saying, ‘I’m all self-made.’”
Then Moore went even further off the rails:
“He went to public university, he went to Northern Michigan University actually, and you know, again, financed by taxpayer’s dollars,” he continued. “And he sells coffee, which is essentially water using city water systems, municipal water systems… You got to be a billionaire because we’re paying for the water!”
Moore’s visceral reaction has an air of scurry or scamper about it, as if Moore knows that an increasingly intelligent public is becoming decreasingly interested in his partisan screeching.
