Pointing to polls in swing states and the wide gap in enthusiasm between President Donald Trump’s supporters and voters planning to cast a ballot for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, progressive filmmaker Michael Moore warned Friday of signs that Trump may win the November general election.

Calling for Democrats to ensure a massive voter turnout in November, Moore cited a CNN poll from August which showed that in 15 swing states, Biden was only one point ahead of Trump.

“In Minnesota, it’s 47-47,” Moore wrote on Twitter and in a Facebook post. “In Michigan, where Biden had a big lead, Trump has closed the gap to four points.” Continue reading.

Michael Moore Steps Up With Resistance Calendar and Website Devoted to Stopping President Trump

The following article by Don Hazen was posted on the Alternet website February 21, 2017:

He offers his 10-step program to rally the troops for the long-term resistance battle.

Editor’s Note: Filmmaker Michael Moore, one of the most visible and active leaders of the Trump resistance movement, has stepped up with two major contributions to the battle ahead. He has created an easily accessible website—a Resistance Calendar—where people can post news about upcoming resistance activities and find out what is going on in their community and region. Moore writes: “I’ve promised you a one-stop site, a clearinghouse of all actions—a RESISTANCE CALENDAR—where you can find every upcoming action, protest, march, sit-in, town hall, anti-Trump, pro-democracy event in all 50 states!”

Moore has also unleashed “The Michael Moore Easy-to-Follow 10-Point Plan to Stop Trump,” published below, which contains Moore’s list of tactics for resisters all over the country. Part of Moore’s plan is to take over the Democratic Party, which to him means getting Congressman Keith Ellison elected to head the DNC when it meets this Saturday, February 25. A key element of Moore’s plan is getting five to 20 of your friends and family members together to create a personal “Rapid Response Team.” Moore also wants thousands of progressives to run for office and make their own media using Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat and other social media sites to spread news and information. He says, “Make sure all your friends and family are signed up.”
