Michael Moore Warns Dems Are ‘Pros’ at ‘Snatching Defeat From the Jaws of Victory’ After Kamala Harris Successes

Filmmaker and activist Michael Moore declared he is “overwhelmed” and “overjoyed” by Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign, but he warned that Democrats are “pros at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.”

In an episode of his Rumble podcast released on Monday, Moore praised President Joe Biden for stepping away from the Democratic Party ticket. Moore had previously referred to Biden’s campaign as the “cruelest form of elder abuse” he’d ever witnessed.

Moore noted a number of Harris’s successes since Biden and others endorsed her, including more than 85% of convention delegates quickly backing her and hundreds of millions in political donations. The filmmaker also cautioned, however, that there are multiple key areas where Democrats could slip up, including Harris taking more “centrist” positions.

“If the candidate, Kamala Harris, suddenly starts taking ‘centrist’ positions in order to not offend anyone — yet in doing so she ends up offending everyone, i.e., the MAJORITY of Americans who are liberal, Left and progressive women, People of Color, young people, and the working class. That is not going to happen,” he said.

If Harris continues Biden’s policy of support for Israel as they continue to fight the terror group Hamas, Moore added, then Democrats will lose a key swing state like Michigan and lose the election.

“I think one way to fix things in Michigan would be for Vice President Harris and her running mate to make a major announcement in Detroit, on a stage with numerous area Arab Americans, Muslims, and leaders of a wide-ranging coalition of Jewish peace groups, to offer her action plan as to what she and Biden can do now to keep their initial promise to [Benjamin] Netanyahu — that if he uses American tax dollars or weapons to violate international law and human rights, such ‘assistance’ will be withheld,” Moore said.

Moore previously helped organize an effort in Michigan that saw more than 100,000 vote “uncommitted” in the Democratic primary in protest of Biden’s support of Israel and Israel’s bombing of Gaza.

Choosing Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) as her running mate could also lose Harris Michigan to Donald Trump, Moore warned.

“Shapiro said it’s ‘antisemitic’ for anyone to join the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement against Israel in order to convince them to stop their apartheid behavior,” Moore said. “He also cruelly compared peaceful college students to the Ku Klux Klan because they were calling for an end to the slaughter in Gaza. Actions like these will diminish the Arab American vote for Harris and depress a large swath of the youth vote throughout the country.”

Moore’s enthusiasm for the Democratic ticket is no doubt much higher than that of Harris as the presumptive nominee, but he has doubts about the party’s success rate.

“But as many have said, the Dems are pros at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory,” he wrote. “So, as I see it, that’s the only way we can lose. If too many people sense it’s the same old political hoo-ha, the Democratic vote will be seriously depressed, millions will stay stuck in their despair, and all of this may lead to a Trump victory.”
