Michael Moore Instagram – For 3 weeks now, I’ve written a daily missive giving you the facts & the truth (as I see it) about our chances to win big this #Roevember.
2 things I’ve noticed from the reaction you all have been sending me:
1) The majority of you have enthusiastically joined me in my belief that we’re going to crush these traitorous coup-supporting Republicans who’ve stripped women of basic human rights & seek to destroy the rest of a Democracy that is seriously hanging on by a thread; and
2) The rest of you are in full panic attack mode. Instead of believing in my fact-based optimism, you think I might have rose-colored glasses on. You want to believe I’m right, but you’ve bought into the pundit & pollster orgy of “analysis” about how the Republicans are now “surging” & the country has turned against the Dems who seem to have happily given us record inflation, rampant crime & trans restrooms in every elementary school.
“Mike, I hope you’re right, but I’m afraid you’re not” everyone in this 2nd group writes to me.
Let’s go over the 1 main fact that should guarantee the winning of ANY election:
There are more of us than there are of them—by the MILLIONS!
Dems have won the popular vote in 7 of the last 8 presidential elections.
Amongst 33 states/territories who let you affiliate w/ a party when you register to vote, there are currently 48 million registered Dems vs. 36.4 million registered Republicans.
There are also 35.3 million registered independents & a WSJ poll has Dems w/ a 38%-35% edge over Republicans among independents.
The vast majority of Americans agree w/ us on ALL the major issues—legal abortion (62%), climate crisis (75%), minimum wage (62%), paid family leave (70%), legal marijuana (91%), unions (71%), Medicare for all (69%), Equal Rights Amendment for women (78%), mass incarceration, tax the rich (80%), free college (58%), free pre-K (71%), stopping voter suppression, LGBTQ rights (71%), take money out of politics, more gun control (70%), etc.
The people are already with us—by a wide margin. So how can we lose?
By failing to get out the vote—a vote that is ours if we want it.
Are we going to let that happen?
