Liberal filmmaker Michael Moore, in an open letter to Joe Biden, is warning him about listening to those from the "cowardly center."

The letter was posted on Moore's Facebook page on Tuesday.

"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 [President Donald] Trump got 70 million votes the Democrats should reject Black Lives Matter, AOC [Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez], 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."

He called on Biden to eliminate the Electoral College and have the Equal Rights Amendment ratified.

"And GO BIG!" he said. "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 [Michigan] to replace the poisoned water pipes! DONE!!"

And he pointed out none of these measures require "a single vote of the United States Senate."

He also congratulated Biden.

"YOU did it," he said. "WE did it! A grateful nation - and myself - are in a state of joy, hope and relief."

Mainstream news organizations called the election for Biden on Saturday, but the president has refused to concede, alleging election irregularities in several states, and has gone to court over the outcome. Newsmax has not called the race, instead waiting for the legal process to play out.
