Let the suffering begin. When the people who voted Trump and the other crooks and grifters into the White House and start loosing their Snap benefits, health coverage, jobs, homes , and their children die from preventable childhood diseases, it may dawn on them that this is exactly what they voted for. When people suffer long and hard on a personal level change happens.
The next 4 years are going to be full of misery. I will live through it . Like minded people need to stick together….
Today, Israel bombed a World Food Kitchen convoy in Gaza and then bombed the rescue workers that came to help. Will the Democrats do anything to stop these horrendous war crimes? No, they are too busy funding, arming, and providing political cover for it.
Nothing is going to change until you realize both major political parties are corrupt and we demand an end the system of legalized bribery that is the cause of all the problems in the world. Go to my Substack for documented proof that both parties are corrupt.
Did you happen to notice that the vast majority of corporate owned media outlets in this country didn't even acknowledge the atrocity mentioned above? They obviously ignore everything that doesn't support their bullshit narrative.
Yeah, so that will somehow in the future let you off the hook? Sorry but it doesn't. You're willing to sit back (I'm assuming you must be comfortable) and do nothing. You're complicit.
It won't because Dems will step in and save them from the worst of Republican policies if the filibuster holds. As awful as it sounds, Dems need to let the bad sh*t t Trump wants to do actually happen so those who voted for him will see what's REALLY happening.
As upsetting as this is to read, you are probably mostly right. But, the underlying message is that at least 50% of Americans are misinformed. And that is a charitable assessment.
We live in an undereducated country (thanks Bush/NCLB) & also a very racist country, who trump allowed to come out of their holes & be THEMSELVES! We are truly fucked….
Misinformed by choice . There are many information options available if you can bother taking the time to find one that is not bought and paid for by corporate .
Critical thinking seems to be going the way of the dinosaur .
Mike, I don't recall you being this critical of Harris and Dems during the campaign. Everything you said is true. One thing you didn't mention in your column is that many people believed what Trump said event though as you said he didn't mean it. I think a real problem is the lack of critical thinking skills that a majority of people in the US lack. Hence, the reason we have Trump.
It's the media! The so-called mainstream media tells you the Republicans are corrupt and the right-wing media tells you that the Democrats are corrupt. No media outlet will tell you that both major parties are corrupt and have been conspiring together to strip away everyone's constitutional rights--including yours. Go to my Substack if you want to know what these scurrilous bastards have been up to.
Sadly, Michael ... from an old 80 year old ... you and others were partly responsible. I fully understand that Israel/Gaza/Hamas/Ukraine/Russia/Sudan/Haiti/Congo/Chinese/Hong Kong/Taiwan/Afghanistan/Iran and all the other Issues including Global Warming/plastics/weather/women's rights being stripped ... should I go on?
YOU chose before the election to rabbit on about something that was NOT going to be fixed instead of simply saying: We need to get Harris/Waltz elected and THEN put pressure on them about so many of the issues facing Humanity today.
You hold influence and you used it to undermine efforts to PREVENT trump from being re-elected! You don't 'get it'. Trump is ALIGNED with the End Times charismatics. He moved the Embassy on their request. They work with Putin who nows sees Russia as 'the last white christian country' and is more than willing to blow up the world on behalf on a belief in Christian supremacy.
I agree! EVERY pundit here and in the mainstream media should have sounded the alarm and championed Harris and Walz in every way possible, without exception.
tRUMP is a Nazi wannabe and a completely incompetent scumbag. Period. Full stop.
Yup. Given that we all knew about Project 2025 and the recruiting to replace civil servants. We knew the STAKES and Michael is an Influencer along with others.
We needed people like Michael to explain that the pressure has to come AFTER the election and not before! And we needed people like Michael to tell other Influencers to talk about 'AFTER' the election and WHY ... we could not risk the 12 people/county given the voter suppression, 3rd Party, Kennedy and Haley aligning with trump.
He played into The Litany of Hysteria that never stops and constantly changes. If it wasn't covid, it was the vaccines, if not the vaccines, it was pizzagate, or hunter's laptop, or work, transgender, the opening ceremony. We have to STOP taking the bait and WORK TOWARDS and WORK FOR and not 'fight against'.
We are not in a 'politics vs politics' situation. We are doing politics and 'they' are waging a religious war that 'they' have been organizing for decades to bring forth and Israel is the epicenter for that.
Well said Lisa! How dare they utter a single critical word before or after the election! A box of cat litter is a better choice than what’s coming. You had the choice of democracy or fascism. Michael’s criticism is completely out of line IMHO.
And then there are all the voters that have been prevented from voting (since 2004) or struck from the roles as Greg Palast has been reporting on, the redistricting and gutting the voting rights act-closing polling places…
I'm sick of the blame game. If more people couldn't see through the smoke and mirrors they deserve what they're going to get. It's just a shame that the rest of us have to witness the destruction of Democracy.
Stay tuned? I mean REALLY? You expect people to "stay tuned" to you when you post a diatribe like this of blame and unfair accusations about Harris and Biden and all the Dems? Have you joined the MAGA ranks? Regarding blame, YOU need to take responsibility for some blame by you telling us all not to worry during the election! YOU had it wrong during the election when you were claiming that the polls were wrong and there would be a tsunami of women voting against Trump and for Harris. YOU told us not to worry. So, stop with the blame game Michael, and accept some responsibility. But No one is more disappointed than me, that 53% of white woman sold us out and voted for Trump. Well I was NOT one of them, and neither was any of my friends or family. But apparently 53% of white woman some drank the Trump "coolaid". Well, just wait until they see what pain and disaster they have inflicted on all of us with Trump.
The reality is, what could we expect with the right wing having unlimited money to fund 10+ media stations like FOX News and all the radio right wingnuts, blasting Harris, Biden and the Dems 24/7 with lies and disinformation? Then add all the billionaires donating millions and sucking up to Trump, including Elon Musk with his billions of dollars to buy the election. This, simply, was NOT a fair fight. So, welcome to the age of oligarch's in the United States. Is THIS what "Make America Great Again" is supposed to look like? Well, it is not what any American should want, or tolerate.
So, please stop your whining and start helping us figure out how we will fight back instead of being a blamer and attacking the very people who worked day and night to try to win us this election. We were out spent and the media failed us. The mainstream media constantly downplayed Trump's insanity and then failed us when they had the chance to make a rational and needed endorsement for Harris and Walz. I can't believe The Times and the Washington Post chickened out of endorsing Harris and Walz. A simply spineless sellout from news sources were were supposed to trust. Who can ever trust them again.? Will they start sucking up even more to Trump now and white-wash his outrageous behavior?
And you Michael, did not help matters by slamming Biden every chance you got. Meanwhile, Biden saved our country from the pandemic, he saved the country financially to dig it out of the hole that the pandemic and Trump left it in, and got bills passed like the Infrastructure bill and the Chips bill which helped to restore the country.
And, yes things cost more but that is due to the pandemic primarily and companies gouging, which the government can do nothing about. The government can lean on gasoline prices since it has some regulation ability on gas prices, but it cannot go after every manufacturer to demand that they lower their prices.
So, Michael please start being part of the solution, not part of the problem and start writing about Trump and his outrageous nominations of completely unqualified people, instead of playing the blame game.
WOW Mike! You are always tough and fair and I respect and admire you for that. But this sounds so bitter. I, the farmer's daughter pragmatist, knew that Harris could/would not win. Why? Because Americans HATE women. Add BRILLIANT and BLACK into the equation and you lose no matter how you add it up. But why turn on Harris now? You endorsed her. I understand that we are all tired but our fight for survival is just beginning. At 71, "burn no bridges" seems like the wisest path to me.
My 93 year old husband and 88 year old me are two of your long time fans and we are so disappointed to have you focus on negatives about Kamala. We think she maximized, as much as possible, her limited number of what ? 107 days? campaign time- compared to the awful trump who has been campaigning non stop for nine years. My European husband lived under fascists during WWII and recognized t as a fascist as he began campaigning the first time. It won’t be long before the t voters become silent - we can only hope Congress has the courage to reject his dangerous selections and make him powerless. We plan to leave our Harris poster up for a very long time. Herman and PatvB
The electoral college relegates millions of votes to irrelevance. Trump received about 195,000 votes in Wyoming and that gave him three electors. Trump received over 6 million votes in California and that gave him zero electors from that state. Kamala Harris received 235,000 votes in Vermont, which gave her three electors. But the 4.8 million vote she received in Texas were utterly worthless-they produced zero electors. I believe the fight against the electoral college should be a top priority. I live in Utah and I know a number of strong Trump critics and haters that felt there was no point in them even voting. Has anyone ever explained the value of trying to change the outcome of an election that was called months earlier? A year ago right now everyone in my state knew it was going Republican. It was called for the Republican party before we even knew who their candidate would be. That fact demoralizes and demobilizes Democrats completely. It would not have made a difference if the Democrats worked hard and got another 200,000 votes here. The value of a vote now is entirely dependent upon three factors: 1. Location.2. Location 3. Location. We will not have fair elections until we have voter equality.
Then, why don’t YOU run, Mike !! You did so well helping us bad mouth trump & THEN you totally badmouthed Biden to have him step down & the WAY you did it, pissed me off! I’m a 75 yr old “white woman” from California, who protested Vietnam, marched for Civil Rights/Justice, have been an environmentalist since I was young & was thrilled that BLM finally happened! But the corporate media is STILL lying to us (“trump’s mandate”!?!) and as a woman who has fought for Equal Rights & the right to abortion, I’ve fucking HAD IT! I taught school (K-9) in the inner city/Barrio for 40 years because I LOVED IT! I didn’t have kids of my own, because I knew I couldn’t do a good job at both. So I decided working with students to teach them about the environment, REAL history, & to hopefully be decent human beings & learn to work together to build caring communities, was the best thing I could do for the planet & country. The problem is State’s Rights (the south is still fighting the Civil War) & voting rights are the crucial issues we MUST deal with!
Harris had, what—a hundred DAYS & did a pretty damn good job ?! And her pick of Walz was the best choice in my opinion, because he & his wife both worked w/kids etc. and are great people! We COULD have had FOUR incredible people at the head of this country for the FIRST TIME EVER! (HRC lost to trump because of her arrogance & I voted for Bernie because I livED in a Blue State). I have had so much respect for you & your incredible movies & I know you’re damn tired, too, but I actually don’t trust ANYONE anymore & I’ll probably be dead by 2040! I’ve fought breast cancer since 1991 & am now 10 years out from my last recurrence in 2014, so I’ll see how it goes. I love Latin America, but was as shocked as anyone that a progressive WOMAN was elected there in Mexico, but it does go to show us what a deplorably, deep down, under the radar, viscous country this is (Chile taught me that decades ago)….Project 2025 is the absolute worst thing this country has ever faced & I hope there are enough young, intelligent & caring people (like David Hogg & ‘Leaders we Deserve’) to FINALLY make this country who it’s pretended to be since its inception.
Analysis which igores the several hundred million dollars Musk dropped on hate-filled anti-Harris advertising in the swing states misses the biggest point. Trump lies. Musk lies. Musk underwrote lies. People were suckered into voting for the sucker. It's not our fault or Harris's fault.
With that being said, where were you months ago other than to proclaim that we "had it in the bag"? Like others you mentioned, you also have wide influence.
I saw a headline somewhere that said "Trump ran against reality and won." Until we can get the truth out there in a big way, it doesn't matter how good our candidates and campaigns are. The other day I encountered an older man in the health clinic where I work. He declined flu and COVID vaccines on the grounds that he had heard that they were dangerous. I pointed out that he couldn't trust everything he read on the internet, and that there was a difference between fact and opinion. He replied, "Well, of course you would say that, since you work here." This is what we are up against.
Agreed, but he has the right to refuse the vaccines. He's putting his own health at risk, as well as the health of other people. But, unfortunately that's not illegal. But, your comment about what we are up against is right. Distrust of the government is a major problem. Much of it is warranted, but, if it puts people's health at risk, that's a problem.
Michael as always you are right. But why didn’t we all see the signs of his winning earlier on. Harris message was hallow. She ditched the message that the Biden economy was working. Even the unions didn’t believe her message.
Michael you were so sure she would win. What happened
First, investigate every Republican for paid for/had secret abortion. Second, who is prosecuting Matt Gaetz?
We welcome refugees and workers! Welcome to America, the land of freedom and opportunity.
We must be realistic human sex trafficking also fentanyl, arms smuggling and violent felons. A practical solution is background check for criminal record.
Obviously, corporations hire those here illegally. I would like to run for Florida Attorney General, or ask one of you to run to our Attorney General, to prosecute Publix and other agricultural/food for paying workers less than minimum wage.
Let the suffering begin. When the people who voted Trump and the other crooks and grifters into the White House and start loosing their Snap benefits, health coverage, jobs, homes , and their children die from preventable childhood diseases, it may dawn on them that this is exactly what they voted for. When people suffer long and hard on a personal level change happens.
The next 4 years are going to be full of misery. I will live through it . Like minded people need to stick together….
Likely Trump will convince those people that the Dems had screwed things up so badly that even he couldn't fix it.
Today, Israel bombed a World Food Kitchen convoy in Gaza and then bombed the rescue workers that came to help. Will the Democrats do anything to stop these horrendous war crimes? No, they are too busy funding, arming, and providing political cover for it.
Nothing is going to change until you realize both major political parties are corrupt and we demand an end the system of legalized bribery that is the cause of all the problems in the world. Go to my Substack for documented proof that both parties are corrupt.
Did you happen to notice that the vast majority of corporate owned media outlets in this country didn't even acknowledge the atrocity mentioned above? They obviously ignore everything that doesn't support their bullshit narrative.
He will blame the immigrants. The trumpers will believe him.
Well said.
Yeah, so that will somehow in the future let you off the hook? Sorry but it doesn't. You're willing to sit back (I'm assuming you must be comfortable) and do nothing. You're complicit.
It won't because Dems will step in and save them from the worst of Republican policies if the filibuster holds. As awful as it sounds, Dems need to let the bad sh*t t Trump wants to do actually happen so those who voted for him will see what's REALLY happening.

They have IQ's of a door knob, so any information they intake is virtually useless.
