I acknowledge he brings up criticisms. But again, they're soft, limp criticisms. He far, far harder on Republicans. He's a party man.
In any case, you're focusing too much on Michael Moore. Moore isn't the point. He's an example at how often Democrats look away from their own camp while feeding themselves from the trough when a Republican is President. But don't get me wrong, Republicans do the same damn thing.
Which is the crux of my initial post: parties in America aren't about values or even ideology, but teams.
Yeah, I'm defending Michael Moore because he's not a politician, he's a documentarian, and a pretty good one at that.
Have you ever actually watched any of his work, or are you reacting to the conservative reaction?
Not only does he not shy away from criticising the democratic party - such as in Farhenheit 11/9 which is ostensibly about Trump, there is a major section about how betrayed black americans who lived in Flint felt when Obama swept in, gave a speech backing the proven legitimately corrupt administration there, then flew off again - its not his fucking job to be a spokesperson for them in the first place; he is an entertainer, just as much a John Stewart, a Bill Maher or a Steven Colbert is.
And really, if Fox & Friends wanted a Michael Moore as card carrying democrat appearance to attack Obama, maybe they should have criticised actual policy instead of
transparently shitty maneuvers about whether or not he was actually american / secretly muslim / trying to dismantle the consitution, or any of the other sly attack vectors that aren't actually worth any form of legitimate response.
e:
Like, I'm not gonna dispute that American politics is insanely partisan and tribalistic, but I don't know why you're using a leftist
entertainer as a citation for that premise, especially one who regularly criticises the party he most aligns with politically for failure to adhere to principles.
