Michael Moore is an avowed Bernie Sanders supporter and has been for years. But while the outspoken filmmaker and liberal activist says he’s with Sanders till the end, he quickly notes he’ll support former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if she’s the nominee.
“Oh absolutely. She’s better than the alternative and she will do some good," Moore said in an interview on Sunday. "Unfortunately I can’t support her during the primaries because she voted for the Iraq war and she’s not really going to fix corporate America and Wall Street. They’ll still be calling the shots in her White House so that makes it difficult for people who care about those issues."
Moore said he's been a Sanders supporter for decades, having campaigned for him while Sanders was running for Congress in Vermont. Clinton’s enthusiasm gap problem, he said, is reflective of how he feels about her: She’s better than the alternative
with Al Franken who claims to dislike Liars, Liars, Liars?

Click bait. Bad info. No attempt to post links to support it.
People wasted time looking for links to disprove it.
And I am not a fan of "One line" essays either. A one line essays is a "Comment" that should go in the daily Open Thread , not a standalone Essay.

all you like, but the fact is Moore supports Bernie, and your one line, misleading essay says he supports Hillary. We all know what "supports" means in the context of elections. It does not mean they will vote for the other person if the person they support does not win.
Even one-line posts can have a point, which can in turn engender discussion. However, since it's not happening, it would appear that perhaps your point didn't. Maybe you could edit?
Is that Michael Moore has always portrayed himself as anti-corporate, anti-establishment voice for the 99%. That is not in keeping with a vote for Hillary. Especially if Bernie is your guy.

Support for Hillary
Is supporting:
Corruption
War
Fracking
Banksters
NAFTA
TPP
etc.
As a person that supports Bernie and his positions, I will never vote for Hillary and if the choice is Trump or Clinton, I'm voting for Trump.

Moore's a strong supporter of Sanders

He did say recently that he'd support Clinton IF she's the nominee but warned that other Sanders voters wouldn't. http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/2016/05/michael-moore-would-suppo...

Well, this is the guy who claimed to have...
an unrequited love for her. Which of course lost him some major points with me.
It's sorta like Bill Maher and Ann Coulter, I think.

Did you confuse Michael Moore
with Al Franken who claims to dislike Liars, Liars, Liars?

Al Franken. Another big-D disappointment. n/t
i dont' think that this diary and its title is appropriate
and not funny.... people are getting their news with just headlines.
One of the real weaknesses of this site is that there is no ability to bring attention to troublesome posts.
And this is one of them.
I am not amused.

Promote discussion. Something that is good in a political discussion site.
Yes, I had been waiting
for the author to edit or at least comment. Doesn't look like that is going to happen.
Comment
Hillary is a war criminal and would be a disaster as President. Michael Moore should know that.
Your essay is misleading
because Moore supports Bernie.
Moore
Said he would vote for Hillary if she is the nominee. Right?
You can be disingenuous
all you like, but the fact is Moore supports Bernie, and your one line, misleading essay says he supports Hillary. We all know what "supports" means in the context of elections. It does not mean they will vote for the other person if the person they support does not win.
My one line said
Hillary supporter???
Note the question marks. Apparently Moore will vote for corruption is she is nominated.
Oh, you were just asking.
I see. Ha.
There is, though. See the “Contact us” link at top of the page
Not here to amuse you.
Michael Moore is foolish to support the Clintons in any fashion. Are you a Hillary supporter?
Do you mind telling me what your point actually is?
I am not getting the gist of your bottom line.
Even one-line posts can have a point, which can in turn engender discussion. However, since it's not happening, it would appear that perhaps your point didn't. Maybe you could edit?
My point
Is that Michael Moore has always portrayed himself as anti-corporate, anti-establishment voice for the 99%. That is not in keeping with a vote for Hillary. Especially if Bernie is your guy.
