When Michael Moore speaks, you better believe that half of the country will sit up and listen, while the other half will moan and groan and most likely flip the page.
The filmmaker recently shared an open letter that he penned to the President-Elect on Facebook, in which he calls for Joe Biden to eliminate the Electoral College and adopt democratic socialism for the country. Here’s what he has to say.
“YOU did it. WE did it! You stopped the madness. A grateful nation – and myself – are in a state of joy, hope and relief,” he began. ”Thank you for that! We are all eager to join with you to repair the damage done to our country — and to eliminate that about our society and our politics which gave us Donald Trump in the first place.”

Moore then went on to say that Joe Biden is someone who is capable of self-reflection and admitting when he is wrong. However, the controversial director also asked Biden to ignore those on the political right and center and move forward with as many progressive policies as possible.
“I see various people trying to take credit for your victory — and using their personal agendas to push you away from the progressive Left and toward the cowardly center which believes that the best way to beat Republicans is to just be a more easily-digestible version of Republicans,” Moore wrote. “They think because Trump got 70 million votes the Democrats should reject Black Lives Matter, AOC, and anything that vaguely sounds like socialism — at a time when the majority of our citizens under the age of 35, according to most polls, prefer the idea of democratic socialism over the greed of modern-day capitalism. Why risk losing them? We need to listen to and understand why they feel this way.”
If that weren’t enough, Michael Moore also asked Joe Biden to forgo any bipartisan relationships and take action the moment he enters the White House.
“Charge in on January 20th like FDR on steroids. You have no choice. People are dying! You need to sign executive orders and cajole, demand and shame Congress into action,” he wrote. “And GO BIG! Eliminate the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Act! DONE! Ratify the Equal Rights Amendment for women! Just one more state needed! DONE! Send in the Army Corps of Engineers to Flint to replace the poisoned water pipes! DONE!!”
