The Jimmy Dore Show
Michael Moore is supposed to represent the voice of the working class wing of the Democratic Party (even though he is, admittedly, a multi-millionaire) but lately he’s started sounding like the shittiest of shitlibs, especially with the way he’s been all but begging voters to come out to the polls for Democrats. During a recent MSNBC appearance Moore not only accused half the country of being stupid, but he also begged voters to return Democrats to power as a personal favor – to him! Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss Michael Moore’s embarrassing transformation from truth-teller about even the sainted Barack Obama to transparent shill for the do-nothing Democratic Party.
Bill Maher is very concerned about democracy. Specifically, he believes that if Democrats lose the midterm elections, that’s the death knell for the American experiment in democratic governance. Apparently unbeknownst to the popular comedian, American democracy died decades ago, replaced with a corporatist oligarchy where both major political parties answer to the same masters in Big Pharma, in the fossil fuel industry, on Wall Street and in the military industrial complex. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how out-of-touch Bill Maher has become and the resulting obliviousness he disseminates to his audience in the guise of “new rules.”

Michael Moore disagrees: ’it doesn’t take a lot; just a few people have got to do something, not a lot of people. No change has ever occurred with the masses doing it. Fewer than 25 percent supported the American Revolution in the Colonies, right? Jesus has 12 guys that fished! ‘ (CBC News, 2 October, 2015). But only the masses can do it! Meanwhile, in the words of William Morris, ‘our business… is the making of socialists, i.e., convincing people that socialism is good for them and is… Read more »
