Progressives go where their they are needed, not where they are “pre-adored”. There are many other examples that prove Bill Maher is as wrong as he is smug, overrated and annoying.

[@StudioDaVeed]

Yes he did. Tom (in this thread) chose to cherry pick and proves Bill's points. Additionally - in tonight's show - Bill had New York City Mayor Elect Eric Adams on the segment: Vigilante Injustice | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO) At about the three minute 40 second mark of that segment; Eric confirms everything that Bill has said as a part of a larger issue (which is overall hyper-partisanship driven by fanatical fringes of both Parties.)

Again another great piece by Bill. Hit it on the head. I’m. 65 yo white male and live in rural Alabama. I bet every Democrat thinks they can describe me without having ever met me and they would be dead wrong except, I’ll never be a Democrat. And the main reason why, is they’ve told me I don’t fit. I’m a conservative but more like libertarian than Republican. I’m open to being a Democrat. I remember when it was really a choice you could consider. I’ve got compassion for people who cant help themselves but not for those who can but would rather complain. The fact is, only a few people have always had it easy. Most people, regardless of race, color, creed, etc, have had to work hard for the success they’ve earned. Democrats tell me my life was easier because I was born white. I was also born poor. And I don’t feel like I had a big advantage because I worked my ass off for 40+ years to make something. When I see black and white people on tv or in film wag their finger at me and want to lecture me about some sin, in their world, was born with, I simply and immediately tune out. Not interested. Hard enough to wade through the bullshit you have to listen to to get anything done than to waste one second of mental energy on that racist tripe about my whiteness. What I despair about now politically, is the void of competent and moral people, of any race or color, that want to lead this country as president, senator or congressman. To me that’s the crisis we are really in.

The Dems keep losing elections bc they stand for nothing other than corruption and the cancer that is Neoliberalism! The Dems need to run on popular policies like Medicare for all, the legalization of Cannabis, raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour, a green new deal, a wealth tax, paid leave, paid parental leave and paid sick leave, etc.! But they won't, because they're just as corrupt as the Republikkkans! And they're gonna lose in the midterms and get Trump reelected in 2024, because they got nothing whatsoever done, even though they have the complete control over the government! So if you wanna defeat Republikkkans, vote and support only progressives like Bernie, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Charles Booker, Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Pressley, Shahid Buttar, Ro Khanna, Nina Turner, Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, etc.!

A California professor was fired for not agreeing to grade minority students on a curve. He refused to bend a knee to a policy which is 100% bigoted to minorities, suggesting they are dumber than whites or asians. Thats’s how insane leftists have become. 1,400 students signed the petition to remove the professors. He’s suing the university and will win. I used to believe in affirmative action, which is essentially what this was. I’ve now educated myself and understand much more, and can see the effects of those policies. Affirmative action is the bigotry of low expectations. It discriminates against others. It hasn’t fixed shit in the black community for decades.

I'm a civil engineer who worked for a gov't transportation agency for decades as a designer / project manager. One of the earliest examples we experienced, & is still going on, of utterly Irritating Woke-ness has to be the hard core public transportation advocates that make a living out of attending policy meetings & commenting on Environmental documents (they live off trust funds so no need to actually earn a living). Now I got into designing & managing public transportation projects (rail & bus) because I am a train enthusiast & wanted to do something "environmentally beneficial". But I soon found out, there is just no pleasing these "extremists". We design railroad stations but these folks will NOT allow us to put ANY vehicle parking around them. Because commuters are supposed to take a bus, or walk, or ride their bikes to the station. After all, cars are EVIL!!!!!! So we must DEFEAT the EVIL of Cars!!!!! So again & again & again, these people line up to oppose projects that will have environmental benefits (train stations, etc) because they are simply not PURE enough in their minds. Now I challenge anyone to ride a bike to a train station to commute in/out of an executive job in a big city in the northeast (dressed up for office work, or needing a changing station at work?), where it's hot & humid as hell in the summer, & it's basically winter from Nov to April. Also on roads that date back to colonial times, narrow hilly & winding (yes, sure, put in bike lanes, but don't disturb historic properties or "sacred" Native American burial grounds - oh wait that's just a knuckle bone from someone around a centuries old campfire). We even had "them" to come out to oppose an upgraded commuter rail maintenance facility & storage yard, because it was next to a disadvantaged neighborhood (where we recruit folks to work for the railroad, & oh the neighborhood was originally built because of the rail yard, all the employees could walk to work). Then they didn't want the employees to have a parking lot, as they are supposed to, yes, take the train to work (yet they report to work at hours the train isn't running), or bike or walk to work (in blizzards & hurricanes when they need to keep the system running). These "woke" idiots simply know no end to their pursuit of "purity", rather see things not happen, then happen in some "impure" way that counters their "philosophy". Oh I'm sure they also opposed us offering coffee & cookies at the public meetings because there's cow's milk for the coffee & the cookies aren't gluten free & may have peanut products . . .

As a life-long Republican, I have to say Bill Mahar is usually spot on. He should start his own news channel.

Not so fast, Maher is still a POS.

Time to realize that "We have met the enemy, and he is us." A lot can happen in three years.

Nice to see Him and Jon Stewart stay liberal without going completely batshit like most of them.

[@DJ-bj8ku]

What Bill doesn’t understand is that it isn’t so much Democratic messaging but Republicans creating a false portrait of what Democrats stand for. Art and Stan aren’t doing their due diligence as American citizens by being skeptical of Republican misinformation because it plays to their own biases. If you eliminated the fringe left tomorrow, Republicans would just create new villains because the point is to keep the MAGA base perpetually enraged. That helps with fundraising and voter turnout.

@@DJ-bj8ku : Ugh, you people lie and gaslight about everything. The Republicans aren't painting a false portrait of you or any other such nonsense. You paint your own portraits with the dumb things you people constantly say (and your completely unhinged behavior).

Silly liberals. Now realizing they regret funneling there self hatred for being the actual privileged into every white. Whites in many ways are actually suffering much much worse than the protected and privileged melanated priests. As they say Kang and qwayne

@@marchuitt Unhinged, lol. MAGAs storm the Capitol in order to overthrow our government and we’re unhinged? lol. You guys would rather eat horse goo than take a shot, and we’re unhinged? lol.

That actually hits hard. I remembered taking Tae Kwon Do and I was kinda good at it. Not great but I did start doing more complicated stuff. So by the time I actually won something, for something decided by multiple judges in an exhibition, I froze. I had no idea what to do and basically made myself look like an idiot. I had to be shoved onstage to take a trophy that didn't say "Participant". I didn’t even keep it in the end. I ended up throwing it away when I moved out and now I regret not keeping it.

My 11 yr old daughter got 3rd place today for a math competition, out of 250 kids, she was so angry and threw the medal 🤣, we're immigrants and do not accept participation trophies, Americans need to wake up.

Just because someone isn't college educated doesn't mean that they are stupid.

Bill Maher is part of the "elite". I am also part of the "elite" and I hate that condescending attitude! It is so disrespectful I switched down to a trade and I am not going back. We are all in this together. Fuck these divisions

[@nightmarishcompositions4536]

I’ve seen a lot of cases where dumb people think they know everything about life and that they’re better and smarter than everyone around them just because they got a bachelor’s degree. Ironically, a large portion of people who have graduated college are extremely childish and stupid lol.

[@juliannacalifornia]

Exactly. One can be "educated" about that which just ain't so.

[@mariog7213]

The key word in your statement is “educated.” Think about that for a moment

It does not make them automatically "intelligent" either!!
