I am a conservative, and I like watching a lot of Maher... A sensible person on the other side. We currently have too many people on the far left and far right dictating our nation... The people in the middle that can find common ground to fix issues in our country are the ones we need making decisions.
Amen brother, Eric Weinstein says something to this effect very often as well. The middle has to realize we have more in common with each other than with the far ends of the spectrum.
Zachary Whitehead We also need more of you, people who are willing to listen and understand, even if you disagree
I agree 100%
This progressive agrees with you and I appreciate your comment🤘
Agreed lad.
I love how Bill constantly calls out the SJWs on their nonsense. Those people are ruining liberalism and turning it into something I have a hard time supporting.
You mean his writers, his writers call people out. He merely speaks the words, bit of a difference.
@@haidengeary8277 the actual point the calling out of the sjw
I totally agree! This is not liberalism is Wokeism trying to disguise itself as liberalism.
preach
@@haidengeary8277 Do you believe Bill does not edit his show?
Thank you. I am a life long Democrat. I have worked on campaigns in many states. I am sick and tired of the circular firing squad.
That is one of the reasons they got their butts handed to them by Regan and Bush. They stopped for awhile, which helped Clinton beat Bush, but they're at it again.
@@CincinnatusPublish Clinton won because he had charisma and campaigned like a dog. He groveled and
begged for votes. he stayed for hours at rallies. Bush Sr. ran the same aloof campaign Hillary ran.
whats going on now is almost pathological. Its a response to Bernie getting screwed last time. Progs
have a purity test this time, and are in no mood to compromise. but they take it to hyperbolic
levels. It will kill the democratic party............... and re-elect trump
@@danielkokal8819 Sure, Clinton did all of that and the Dems also stopped shooting each other in the foot, which is what gave him that opportunity. The party unified.
I laughted so much. It is the greates image of democrats i've ever "seen" 😂
You just need to stand in the middle to protect everyone
In summary: Don't destroy the Good for the sake of the Perfect.
So, let Hillary fiddle the nomination and take it from Bernie.
very well said
Preach my friend...PREACH TO THE NON-BELIEVERS WHO STILL DON'T GET THIS!! : D
And again Nathan's comment no matter how intelligent and accurate falls on deaf, or in this STUPID ears because the responses is showing that despite how dangerous Trump is to our country fools who are still nitpicking are going to help him get re-elected (GOD HELP US ALL)!!! X - (
@@marshwetland3808 Well you bet everything on Bernie last time, and the result was 2 new right wing clowns on the Supreme Court, refugee kids in cages, and a POTUS who openly told Russians that he doesn't care about them messing with our voting process...despite being the same guy who said the whole election was "rigged". Not exactly an impressive alternative.
Bill Maher is just the best. Couldn't be more spot on. Not like we'll heed this advice though.
@regulator619 right because you'll vote for Medicare 4 all but you won't vote to stop medicare from being gutted.
Bill Maher is, and I don't say this lightly, the next best thing still out there for those of us who miss both George Carlin and Alan Rickman.
You haven't heard of Dave chapelle or Andrew Schulz or Anthony jesselnik or Jon stewart or literally a hundred other comedians
@@kasipromod7382 Uh, I can't get much information out of your comment other than "there are other comedians", so I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you didn't quite catch the gist of what I was trying to say.
@@ekathe85 They're all better comedians BY FAR.
@@kasipromod7382 Meh. I have nothing against Jon Stewart or Chapelle, they're a little dry to my taste. The other two I don't know them. As for literally a hundred other comedians, if you care to name them I might take a look into them, but even if I do find them better as comedians upon review, I don't think my appreciation for Maher would change, if that's what you're going for
@@ekathe85 I guess you can start with Andrew Schulz
I love how Bill went after the trigger happy liberals. I'm a liberal and I really do believe those easily offended people are ruining our liberal party
True, the neoliberals ARE the reason I left the party and Bill’s “Pain chart” hit the nail on the head. I despise the extremists on both sides, disgusted is more like it.
No kidding! I’m not part of either party (having resoundingly resigned as a Republican) but this lack of balls on the democratic side will not help. They have to toughen up and stop “bringing a stick to a knife fight”.
@@hotsauce3700 Maher is a neo lib and so is Hillary.

I'v been a southern Calif. liberal since the 60s. For the first time I'm thinking "what a bunch of idiots!".
It's been correctly said that "uniting democrats is like herding cats".

That's why Republicans always seem to have an edge... They function as a team.
Mike Hegarty - your comment is why you lost in 2016.
Charlie i don’t think liberals are the problem here, this time it’s the media creating fake outrage to create a story. I see it done all the time and wonder who are the mad people they are talking about
@@drkushajagadeesh6347 I know right it's almost like they learned from......... fascists
I will tell you what I want for this country:
(1) Universal healthcare (No that is not radical or communism; that's what every modern nation has)
(2) Universal education (where everyone gets a decent education)
(3) We install critical thinking into our schools, colleges, universities and society at large.
(4) We STOP feeding the military industrial complex; and
(5) We stop giving tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires. Everyone pays their fair share of taxes!
Let's get to work, and let's take our country back.
Umm sounds rational to me. I live in Australia.
@@charki40 Exactly! Btw, I love Australia! :) Beautiful country, awesome people!
How dare you not want to play footsie with the Republicans. Get back to your gig economy peasant.
Zach The Celtics Guy ... Less military spending more environmentally friendly politics
How about universal food and water?
I'm glad Bill got this out there fast because it's stuff like this that kills Democrats. Yes, some of these candidates have flaws...but for the love of God, it doesn't mean they need to be condemned and thrown into a shark tank to die! The country's future is at stake and we're already (barely) living through the results of not taking such a threat seriously.
Wolfboss7 Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Amy Kloubachar, Julian Castro are not good enough. Sorry. They won’t get any progressive votes. Like you said, the country future is at stake, we cannot afford any half measures.
@@jivet3919 ^^^^^
These idiots are so worried about getting the right candidate that checks off as many diversity boxes as possible and they're completely ignoring that fact that Bernie is the most popular politician out there and Biden would have a great shot at beating trump if he ran. Out of all the others, Warren is the best shot but even then, wont be surprised if Trump is re-elected over her.
Biggest problem is, instead of focusing on this and choosing a direction and going all in, they'll end up eating each other, losing, and then the media and the ultra left will just scream and cry: 1) racism 2) misogyny 3) patriarchy 4) evil white man, while the entire party is lost beneath them
@@jivet3919 Those people aren't "half-measures." What does that even mean anyway?
Wolfboss7 how is the country “barely” surviving? Like how?
The Democrats should have left Al Franken alone also! Bring him back!
Honestly,I said the same thing. I was so mad how easily they dismissed him,cowards.
Making co-workers kiss you is awful, when you're 15, 20 years older than them it's especially fucked up. And if a fat or ugly or older woman was doing this to her male co-workers you would want her fired too. You definitely wouldn't want her making public policy and laws.
al franken did it to himself after the pic showed him being a dick. he probably did some other things too that he knew about. he left while he could still leave without being stoned. he apologized. he can come back now if he purged all his memory for other things he may have forgot about in the past. otherwise, stay gone.
Trump say “grab them by the pussy” and you all freak out. You have no principles. This guy actually does it and you beg to have him back? You understand that you can’t have both of those opinions, right? Don’t try to rationalize it, it will be embarrassing as hell. Just know that everyone knows that you’re hypocrites. One day you’ll be all grown up and wonder how you ever thought that leftist politics had any basis in reality. They are racist. They are sexist. They are Anti-Democracy; they work under the guise that they care more about your well being. They don’t. The media does not want you to be informed. Partisan political banter and war feed the fire. They want to go to war in Iran. They want the ratings. The dems want the vote. They’ll do and say anything to get it.
Please think of any political issue you are passionate about. Make a honest list of arguments on both sides of the aisle and try to rationalize the left’s position on any of them.
Godspeed. 🇺🇸
The democrats have created Frankens monster and its eating its own sadly
"Looking to dump someone, someone good, because there must be one more perfect." Sounds like you finally started watching Woody Allen movies, Bill.
i am just glad that a famous person like bill spoke this finally out loud on tv. i see this bs since 20 years happening over and over again on all ppl, friends, strangers, family, myself. if this bs goes on, "no sex before marriage" will become extremely demanded again, playing some of the best cards into the hands of the pedochurch. the question is quite simple: if it's impossible to hold the center, do we want to be a prude world with 0 variety of sexual partners, or a whored world where our sons become forced into "living lgbtq"? both choices could end fine or horrible, so i'd say we should really focus on not dumping partners for (own) immature mental imbalance or other nonsense.
"We go from I love you to DIE in six hours." YES, BILL.
More like we find out some seriously wrong with a polictian and stop supporting them.
James Beaman
NO, BILL. No one has ever done that he’s straw manning.
No staying power 4:45
The problem I have with Kamala Harris is her declining to prosecute Steven Mnuchin’s OneWest Bank for foreclosure violations in 2013.
Thousands of lives ruined, no prosecution and no answers. She needs to go.
@@whatever3132 Look, if I have to choose between Trump and Kamala Harris, I am choosing Kamala. I just don't want to have to make that choice if I don't have to and letting people know what she has done or failed to do is all I can do to see that through.
whatever3132 it’s the same thing they did to Hilary and then for two years they’ve done nothing but complain about Trump! At some point the American voter needs to grow the fcck up
If ur going to nitpic over every little thing during these nxt elections welcome to another 4 yrs of Trump
@monokhem That's the thing? We don't have all the facts. It's too easy to make the wrong judgement without all the facts. My worry with her is, is she corporate? I'm done with anyone who takes big donations from corporations. Small donors only. I want someone who works for us, the people. The way it's supposed to be!
"I love what I have with Trevon, but I wonder if there's someone more perfect for me."
That folk's is why there are less married people and more mass shootings. A complete lack of contentment.
This is one of the best new rules he has done lately - especially the way he segues from politics to showbiz touching as many hot button issues as possible. Brilliant!
I agree. Political correctness is occasionally necessary sometimes and has it's place, but getting it to the point of being precious about it, makes it worthless to things that do matter
That's why Trump won. A real rasict jerk ran for president and his bigotry ment nothing because the PC hand was overplayed.
@@mondoshredder5783 good thing its a myth...there is NO such thing as political correctness
Its a conservative bowel movement boogy man to scare the uneducated
"Heh this may not be PC but did you hear....."
Its the tyranny of not being able to say the "N" word in polite company.....old white people mad they cant say derogatory things in polite company....."oh for the days you could call a spade a spade and still be popular"
Yeah good luck with that
@@mondoshredder5783 lol!!
When everyone is racist no one is.
political correctnes should be about how you say something, not about what you say
This niche show in cable is the last bastion of common sense in TV and that is kind of sad, bacause it cannot reach a wider audience.
Actually despite the accuracy of your statement there is websites like CZcams, but the only drawback is that either trolls or bots programmed to start shit that's the opposite of Bill's points or likability for most of us so it's really hard to tell who is watching these videos or what Russian or corporate hacker is posting to these sites the way climate deniers post to these sites and a lot of them may be hackers too. : - |
Bill Maher is a National Treasure.
Bravo, Bill. Throughout the years I have also learned, "We live in an imperfect world, and even all our heroes have feet of clay."
The writers of New Rule are the best of the best! Those punchlines together with Bills delivery make me die laughing everytime! 🤣 And the jokes are borderless, I'm watching from Sweden and get everey reference 👍🏽😁
I am still for bernie though.
well then let me thank you for giving us President Donald Trump. Bernie Voters have the BLOOD of 11 synagogue goers and a young woman protesting NAZIs on American Soil ON YOUR HANDS. Thank You for President Donald Trump
Christ, not another one.
Serai3 thats not really an arguement. Or are you just venting?
RIXRADvidz not really considering 100million people don't vote the same could be siad of them. Are you sure this is how you wish to proceed?
Who's arguing? There's no point arguing with someone who isn't impressed by reality.
After the primaries I completely agree that you can't always get what you want. But before a candidate is chosen we CAN try and get what we want.
You can try as much as you want, but as Bill said himself, you might end up having nobody to present the Oscars... or the party. Perhaps an unicorn, if it (they?) consents.
@Scott Johnston NO
@@nocturnalrecluse1216 So your okay with the DNC giving you w/e they want then?
Cause that worked so well last time right?
Fucking moron I swear.
You can try and get what you want without bashing other candidates, making it impossible for the Democrats to win if your ideal candidate doesnt
@@mendingwall3823 like how

The difference between medicare for all and Obamacare for some people is one heart attack.
Except this isn't a 2 man fight, more of a 3 man. . . And third man holds Highest Land, Has a Grand Plan to takes away your more affordable Heart Exam. . . "Gang up on the Perpetrator, A One on One is a Fair One!"
Every journey begins with a single step. Every medicare for all begins with Obamacare for some.
I'm not even sure what Bill is saying here. Are you saying Obamacare wouldn't cover a heart attack?
@@CommaCam I assumed he meant that someone was standing in the way of medicare for all and that the person needs to have a heart attack.
pakpala1 actually none of the countries that have government founded health care, had anything close to Obama care before
In a hopelessly dysfunctional personal relationship, it doesn't matter how many times you do the right thing because the other person will only ever remember your mistakes. And those are most of the people crying offense and demanding apologies.
If I take out the garbage every day for a month, and forget on day 31, that's not a problem in a normal relationship. But in the dysfunctional relationship I'll hear 'you NEVER take out the garbage!' Now I have a systematic problem with not taking out the garbage.
Anger is natural, because the natural thought is that these people have to be lying when they see things this way, but the depressing thing is that people like this can be totally sincere. Which means they're delusional. I don't know how you handle delusional people, but trying to appease them is fucking impossible, especially when the problem is rooted in trauma. Which is a lot of the howling based on accusations of bigotry.
Trauma does not necessarily give you an enhanced perspective on the source of the trauma: often it's an exaggerated and distorted perspective. If you got menaced by a dog as a child it's understandable that you'd be afraid of dogs today ... but no, that dog didn't threaten you just now, and that dog or its owner shouldn't suffer any consequence because nothing bad happened. And we should all say that nothing bad happened rather than normalizing and enabling the disordered person who thinks they are threatened when nothing bad happened.
There must be 50 ways to leave your (dysfunctional) lover. Make a new plan, Stan.

*04:34** - THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING **_THAT_** OUT LOUD, BILL MAHER!*
Damn, Bill really dropped the ball with this one.
No, Bill is solidly on point here.
Ah no, he was on point here.
Having a quality candidate matters, people who didn't vote Hillary won't vote Kamala or booker and that matters. Fake progressives like Hillary and Obama are gonna keep the Republicans in office in 2020
I love how he addressed the smearing of Tulsi from the news establishments.. Oh! Wait.. He didn't.. I wonder why?
Bitch please , tulsi gabbard is part of the alt right masquerading as a progressive , she is no Bernie .
John Anchan "I love how he addressed the smearing of Tulsi from the news establishments.. Oh! Wait.. He didn't.. *I wonder why?!*

Because the time he can spend on each segment is limited?
Jb Morgan I think you missed the point of this video, and missed it spectacularly.
Tulsi really is in a shitty league of her own though. She doesn't just not pass the "purity test" but there are several real concerns about her professional conduct and her policies. I agree with Maher that we're otherwise being waaaay too picky about most of the other candidates particularly Klobuchar, Bernie, and Warren.
I can't see Maher promoting her - she isn't a clinton fan, thank God! harris on the other hand is just another younger corrupt clinton-clone! She will keep the horrific greedy politicians on both sides of your aisle happy - as she keeps the pollution/corruption of all the corporate-owned political hacks, hidden away - just like clinton would have. I despise trump - but one thing he did do - was expose all the hideous corruption in your government - simply by being an idiot! God help your failed country!
This generation is definitely overly sensitive, I can attest to this first hand😅
They seem just as sensitive as the last. What are u talking about? The roles merely reversed. Trash talk a gay, this generation gets offended. Show a gay person in a positive light or just in general in the 70s or 80s, people would have gotten offended.
@@lordoftheflies7024 even in the 90s it was controversial.
Robin Williams playing a gay man in the Bird Cage? Heads exploded over that one.
Mahr is starting to channel "George" …...he keeps this up, he's going to be my next favorite comedian.
He already to me ... That dude is really good.
Vox is what happens when there are too many English majors who *aren't* starving.
😂😂 I loved dating an English grad student, the jokes never stopped coming lol.
Vox was recently copyright striking youtubers who criticized them even though they were completely legal.
Maher is only half right. While we need to defeat trump in 2020, candidates with issues should be adressed.Klobuchar,Booker,Biden, and Harris have serious concerning things on their records. It would be stupid to ignore those things.
Yes! Like this is the whole point of a primary!
Yeah.... i dont think you are really getting what bill was trying to say.
@Shaken not stirred
Unfortunately, there is still a lot of retards getting conned by the orange mongrel and you are one of them. MAGA MY NUTZZ
Trump is beating Klobuchar, Harris, Booker, O'Rourke, and maybe Warren. I think Gabbard and Sanders beat him.
Yes, but what Maher said about the Republicans ignoring all of Trump's faults is the point. If Democrats don't get it together, Trump will be in office another six years. I'm Canadian and I shudder to think about it. How about you?
Bill hit it right out of the ballpark with this segment.
I don't always agree with Bill Maher, but I always respect his opinion. He nailed this one .
I'm 25 and I agree with Bill. My generation is a little too oversensitive.
A little? No a crapton and don't forget dumb
I find Baby Boomers to be far more whiny and insufferably stupid.
lol
No, they're kinda not. They're surrounded by asshole baby boomers and have to clean up their predecessors' mess while being insulted for their efforts.
"Stop whining, and wipe up our slop."
I'm 30, in a 10-year relationship, we have four science-based college degrees between us, we just bought our first shitty house, and can't afford a kid yet. I work 45+ hours a week in a specialized profession and have to use half of my paycheck on medical bills and health coverage due to an injury I got *18 years ago,* and my partner teaches, so, you know.
I'm getting pissed at being told that I'm a lazy whiner.
I'd step off my soapbox, but I'm afraid I'll sprain an ankle and pay for it for the next five years.
@@Nylak-Otter Exactly. The "millennials are lazy whiners" BS stereotype comes from pampered baby boomers who lived like there was no tomorrow. As a result, there may not be one for millennials and the next generations. It was a disappointing stab by a comedian otherwise on point.
Snowflakes
Compared to the current President, these candidates are decent people. They own their mistakes, he doesn't. If they have a fault, it's theirs, whereas when the president has a fault, it's everyone else's. We are never going to get a perfect candidate, because we are all human, but let's at least try and get a candidate that will, for the most part, do the job, rather than allow a man whose idea of victory is barely keeping the office running to be let back in. We need to stop being at each other's throats, there will be plenty of time for that when we throw out the current administration, because doing it now only emboldened them.
This isn't being defeatist, this is being pragmatic. If you're not prepared to accept less than the best, you will get the worst.
Compared to trump, my left nut is a perfect candidate. Your point being?
Also, bernie 2020
Well I'm independent and voted for neither HC or the current president but I'm dealing with it but I've noticed a lot of dems corporate and otherwise like to play pass the buck with history trying to change it as it suits them... Democrats were for a border wall with Obama; falsely accuse the president of racism and collusion with Russia; both debunked and a bit odd with the finger pointing democrats... newsflash there was no "switch" two dixiecrats only 2 became republican so the tall tale that all Republicans are by default racist is unmitigated horse shit. Also hasn't it come out that McCabe was trying for a coup d'etat barely 8 days in ? which is treason. The only thing that sucks about what I'm saying is I'm not lying about any of it... p.s. Bernie got robbed last election and HC stole it, y'all didn't do squat but let it ride , and benghazi wasn't bullshit she dropped the fucking ball and blamed others
Bet you think Obama is a decent person. Guy had a kill list but it’s ok he goes on Jimmy Kimmel so he’s decent! Fucking moron
“Perfectly good Presidential candidates”. 😂
Damn I stopped watching him during the initial COVID outbreak but man is he still on point. I’m guilty of attacking other Democrat’s and blowing up their records as if they’re the same as Republican’s sins-he still makes sense out of all of this pettiness.
Burst into flames killed me
Why can't all of us admit we've our own monsters inside and from the past? We ain't perfect, we're HUMANS! Dems should lessen their "holier than thou" nitpicking and confront what needs to be done: 2020 Elections. Uncle Bill says it over and over again, Dems started strong but loss in the last run partly due to this "moralist" attribute. Hope we learn what happened in 2016. We. Have. One. Job. ONE. JOB!
Yeah, Get Behind the Strongest Candidate and don't throw your fucking vote away over principles. You were told to vote for Hilary by Bernie. and yet you chose to hand the Presidency to Donald Trump because You Had To Vote For Bernie. not you personally @Paul Ramos but Bernie Voters in General.
@@RIXRADvidz why does every fucking thread have somebody i need to remind of this? 25% of hillary supporters in 2008 voted for mccain. only 10% of bernie supporters voted for anybody other than hillary in 2016.
*you* should be unifying behind *us.*
Because we need to hold our nominee to high standards. I have no doubt in my mind that Corey Booker, Kamala Harris, and Beto O'Rourke are losing to Trump in 2020. No doubt.
The time for "moderates" is over. There are serious issues that threaten our future. Green new deal and universal healthcare are absolutely essential for viable candidates moving forward.
Being a corporate puppet is hardly something I would consider a "minor flaw" as Maher put it. Politicians being in the pockets of Big Business and banksters is the reason America can't have nice things. All of those corrupt fuckers should be voted *out* of office, regardless of which party they belong to.
I don’t agree with pretty much anything Maher believes, but I’ve got respect for him. He genuinely stands for what he believes.
Regarding Kalama Harris, she was all about prosecuting weed smokers, then on The Breakfast Club she’s all like “yeah, I smoked. I inhaled too!” Also, when AOC just came out with the Green New Deal, they asked her if she was in favor of it or not, and she didn’t say yes but she said she’s open to AOC’s and all others ideas. She gives me the same vibes HRC gives me. Don’t trust her one bit.
Uh...i lived in Cali and worked for a medical marijuana company and my boss was actively volunteering for her campaign as AG. as well as lots of other people in the industry. And you are basically playing right into what Maher just said. A prosecutor actually prosecuted people? Oh no. How dare she? Point is...did she come around to the consensus of the population? Yes.
Same as HRC is right! Claiming to be an independent woman all the while advancing up the political ladder on the backs of dudes. Makes me chuckle. The democratic primary is going to be 🌶
yes we should lose 2 more judges
Jo Sherrill Haha very true my friend but the Uranium One deal occurred long after HRC was relevant on the political scene so I’d say any Russian backs is a non-factor
Yeah, the country's already on fire - let's just lay the controls over and spiral the motherfucker into the ocean because of some dumbass purity tests.
I feel like the problem most people have with Bohemian Rhapsody is that it changed the events of Mercury's life in a way that made the narrative of the film polished, boring, and predictable. Not that it wasn't "gay enough". I've literally heard no one make this criticism.
Most people simply point out that it didn't live up to it's full potential, and that one good acting performance can't salvage a film.
the real problem with BR was that Brian May and Roger Taylor were producers, so of course insisted that their historical images be cleaned up (no partying for them! they're family men who would never snort cocaine off a tray balanced on a midget's head while at an orgy!)
also, Queen had a massive library but this was like the radio station that only plays the same songs over and over again
This idea that you can’t closely scrutinize candidates is ridiculous. It’s a primary and that is the entire purpose of the primary to scrutinize the people who are throwing themselves into the ring and decide who you think offers the best ideas. This whole rant was off
The problem is that you're scrutinizing them for meaningless bullshit that, more often than not, has nothing to do with their actual policies or beliefs.
007MrYang
Who they take money from, and how they’ve acted in earlier positions is indicative of how they will act as president.
Scrutinize them all you want, but only on issues that actually impact their ability to do the job.
Primaries are not supposed to be some fucking cheerleading for "our team" but weeding out the fakes from the real deal. Thats what democracy is about right? Finding the right representative that will represent YOU and not some corporate master!
Renlys Other Lover
The point is don't spread bullshit lies and blow things out of proportion. Simple as that. The world would be a lot better off if we'd only learn how to stop lying to each other so much.

@@teuast Yep. You get the identity politics side of women and Gabbard is an Army veteran. Also, if you vote against Bernie Sanders and Tulsi Gabbard, you're an anti-semite and misogynist. That's the law.

@@bbg830 I was being facetious about the identity politics line. I was saying that if Sanders/Gabbard is a ticket against like Harris/some joke, the DNC can't make it about women like they did in 2016.
There was a lot of truth in this. I think we can have disagreements and I often think we can deal with those disagreements in a seemly manner. Good on ya, Bill.
Bill you hit the nail on the head about millennials.
Love this bit, he is so right we need to come together and get the GOP out in 2020
So he shits on people who like comic book movies, but watches Temptation Island? Got it... LOL
Don't let it ruffle your cape. Excelsior!
No offense, couldn't resist
It’s legitimate to call out Democratic candidates for not living up to Democratic values because that’s how we determine what Democratic values actually are. That’s what the primary process is all about. And that’s why you need lots of candidates so the party doesn’t split into two factions that become so angry with each other that they withhold their support for the nominee in November. And this is exactly the time when all of the dirt on the candidates SHOULD come out because this is when we’ll find out which of these issues are dealbreakers that will fracture the party or give the GOP ammunition in their attack machine - and it will only help each candidate to formulate their responses to attacks now, well before the contest begins.
I will definitely vote for the Democratic nominee in November 2020, but yes I would prefer a candidate who both shares my priorities and who will be able to win the Electoral College. It’s not “eating our own” to debate which candidates are best suited to represent the party.
Well put! Also, he completely ignores the fact that the DNC fiasco against Bernie, on top of Hillary being business as usual in an America that has failed so many working and middle class people after 8 years of a Democratic president...really, really turned people off.
@@MsZephyra you know the dnc fiasco you point out comes from emails of may 2016 where staff members were frustrated with bernie for not dropping out after it was obviously not going to win the primary. no, of course not, that doesn't support your outrage.
@@MegaMoose1989 You missed my point completely...I recommend you look into what happened and why Bernie supporters were so upset.
As for me, I ended up voting for Hillary in the general election, because despite being status quo and a corporate dem, she still would have been way better than the shitstorm we have now.
@@MsZephyra there were emails that came out from dnc staffers that were critical of bernie but those emails were dated from may of 2016 and were frustrations from staffers who could see that bernie was hurting hillary even though he could not win the primary at that point. russian hacks hacked into the dnc server and released the emails right before the convention to create dissent from bernie supporters. that is what happened.
@@MsZephyra oh and you are not who bill is trying to reach with this new rule. he is reaching those who think purity has to be followed to the t even if it hurts themselves.
I love when Bill calls out his own. I don't agree with him on a lot of things like I used to but he's bang on with this. This is why I still follow his show - because he's not afraid to look inward and call Liberals out on their own behavior.

He's got a point. The Left needs to CRITIQUE it's own, not EAT it's own.
@chiritarisu I'm not sure it's a minority. Remember all the Bernicrats who threw in the towel and stopped playing when Hillary won the primaries? Or who voted for Trump just to spite Hillary? She may be out of the race now, but my fear is that unless the Left learns to grow up a little, and vote for the LESSER of two evils once their preferred candidate is out of the race, then we're only going to see a repeat of the last election. The Right tends to vote as a block, and the Left needs to do the same. Even if it's not your PREFERED candidate, pick the LESSER of two evils.
@chiritarisu "People are fed up with the "lesser of two evils," incremental change schtick." Learn to set priorities. A tiny step forward, or a massive leap backwards, which do you think will net positive for the country? If Trump stays in office, or you get somebody else like him, then none of this debate even matters. Getting Trump out of office is the priority, THEN you can afford to be picky about which policies you want implemented. Otherwise, America will only regress further, and it will take even longer to repair the damage.
@@BlackEpyon Both the establishment and the progressives need to compromise.
@@hapgood22 Except America isn't progressing or even maintaining the status quo. It's REGRESSING. You need to stop going backwards before worrying about which direction you want to move forwards.

The point is, that the litmus test of the super-sensitive is overly puritanical; kinda like a witch hunt.
U should vote for trump. Giving him one more term( +1 supreme court pick)will teach democrats a lesson
I love how Bill smooths over all the differences between candidates as if there are not clear distinctions between those with massive grassroots following and highly specific economic populist plans, and those who speak vaguely about making things better, with small or no grassroots following and accept money from donors who expect favors in return.
I'm 40 and this world has gone to shit! Everyone's too damn sensitive about everything! I love Bill's take cause I feel the same. The world is destroying itself nitpicking the little things! There's bigger things to worry about people! Holy shit!
I can't thank Bill enough for this segment. Thank you for bringing back some hope in democrats' future in this country. Don't be the always sensitive and all-inclusive side, the side that lowers the majority's way of living to please a minority. Equality is based on equality of opportunity, stop with this parity thing.
Altogether, the liberal movement in America suffers from bouts of acute tunnel-vision.
The base needs to drown out the loud ones instead of allowing them to become focal points.
This applies to conservative movements as well. The nation may be all the better for it.
Millennials grew up with shock value TV and music constantly pushing the norm; our generation is probably the most desensitized of all. Cancel culture is definitely not stemming from our generational ideals. Cancel culture is headed by today’s young people generation Z. A lot of millennial shows and artists are being canceled and accused of being insensitive by generation Z. They have different views on what is socially acceptable than us. We have openly defended the shows and artists of our generation.
One of your best, out of many Bill!...

Gabbard 2020: What's So Bad About Bashar al-Assad?

She called him a brutal dictator, and wants to pull out of the Syrian war and stop arming rebels/terrorists in the region.
Currently, the US is fighting ISIS (who are against Assad) and arming rebels (some of which are terrorists). We’re fighting both sides of the war on taxpayer money, so let’s get out of it.
@@state_song_xprt You are not very good at strawman's, are you?
@@state_song_xprt - Ascribing an argument to Tulsi Gabbard that she didn't argue is a neat tactic.
Gabbard/Yang 2020! Strength and Vision!
She didn't just prosecute criminals. She wanted to throw parents in jail for their kids being delinquently absent which hurts the poor and does nothing to fix the problem. Bill, you're quickly losing me as a fan.
He said one thing you don't like and now you want to drop him as quickly as Taylor Swift drops boyfriends? Well you sure showed Bill right.
How does poor kids not being in school AID the poor? If they want to get out of poverty, they NEED an education so they can enter the workforce!
Education is mandatory in the US up till at least 8th grade, depending on the circumstances, which means a parent withholding their kids from at least the bare minimum public schooling, or a private or home-school equivalent, is violating the law. Ergo, prosecution.
Elections are choices btwn 2 choices
Oh lord. Really? If your kid is missing who the fuck is responsible? The parent And I grew up poor too in a Mexican home.
Good- if you're too poor to look after your children then DON'T have children!
Last time I checked, Mormonism wasn't destroying the world.
“Nitpicking” things like Hilary’s emails? That’s hilarious. Not holding your candidates accountable will come back to bite you.
While i agree that there can be an issue with tearing down things because they are not perfect, I find the the idea that we cant fairly criticise candidates based on their record dangerous. I also find it funny that the people who brought us Hilary Clinton (the only candidate who could have lost to Donald Trump) are still blaming everyone else for Donald Trump and are trying the same thing over again. It's about winning the next election and a centrist would have a hard time doing it because they can't energise the base or win independents. I hope Bernie, Warren or Gabbard get the nomination as they would wipe the floor with trump
Squiggly Wiggly Maher isn’t opposing criticism of candidates, rather he opposes overzealous purity tests that disqualify people who are reasonably decent. Take Northam in Virginia. A majority of Polled Black Virginians favour him remaining in office but overzealous people keep calling for his resignation. 35 years ago he was a cringe inducing douchebag, not the grand wizard of the kkk. But Democrats have trouble with unreasonable purity tests.
@@segasys1339 The worst part of it is, it's like they're trying to screw themselves before Republicans have a chance. If I were a Republican I'd be laughing my ass off right now!

I know this is about politics but the people throwing shit at Bohemian Rhapsody for that reason, either don't understand or choose to ignore the fact that Freddie Mercury was a complicated AF human being with genius level creativity and a huuuuuuge passion for art and music who happened to be gay, that's part of who he was... Not him entirely, and to claim that he was, it's ridiculous and insulting to his entire work and life... Also you can get offended by the fact that it's not historically accurate so there you go

The same is true of Sleeping Beauty. Nearly every Disney princess from Belle, to Snow White, to Rapunzel, etc. has some kind of non-consensual interaction with a man where that man touches/holds her person and/or performs some kind of sexual assault (e.g. kissing without permission).

- ppl's votes are suppressed in so many ways (vote in the middle of the week, while ppl are working, gerrymandering, other kinds of rules like certain type of ID or address or whatever),
- powerful ppl/corporations are controlling your politicians,
- ppl are dying b/c they can't get to or afford going to the hospital (you have higher birth death rates than some 3rd world countries),
- ppl can't take days off work or spend some time w/ their babies b/c they loose their jobs and/or don't get paid,
- ppl are trying to outlaw abortions,
- child brides are a thing in a lot of states,
- you have places where ppl are drinking poisonous water and Trump overturned the ban on several poisonous substances & materials,
- you have mass shootings like every other week,
- education is a joke and/or you pay for it the rest of your life,
- infrastructure is bad,
- instead of developing new energy technology and trying to be autonomous, you are going on & on about coal and looking at stealing oil from other countries and Trump backs out of environment deals & reverses more bans,
- racism & bigotism is rampant...you have a president that is both & so much worse

Yes, he wants a dem, but not a dem who will upset his gravy train, A DemCorp Punditbot promoting DemCorp Politibots.
Yes. Notice how all save for 1 of his jokes per show aren't even funny. Bill sometimes pretends like he can't stand the left's infantilization of its constituency and "eating its own" but the only way he can stay in business is by being a talking leftist head on tv. What else is he going to do with his life? If he went independent, would he draw the kind of audience he gets?
@@andresbrimley5689 please, don't call him Leftist. That is an insult to us leftists. Sadly, Maher has lost it. He's now a corporate shill. I used to love the guy
@@jontraz5993 why is he a corporate shill, for wanting Trump out of office?
Robert French No, he’s a corporate shill because he CONSTANTLY defends and promotes evil, corporate, establishment politicians. Pay attention and think for yourself!
They mocked Trump just like this and it didn't end up well. Something tells me that it's going to be the same.
Bill is so right. People are so easily traumatized by the tiniest thing in the world, we have a community of overly sheltered people who never had the word 'no' or 'it doesn't work like that' ever told to them in their lives. But Bill- dare I say it- says it like it is. I can't believe I'm saying this but- Bill Maher for President.
Yo Bill when are you gonna have Kyle Kulinski on the show?
Kyle and Jimmy Dore please. They'll hopefully get through to him.
Makeda Cox OMG yes!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy when I heard him on Joe Rogan 😭
Erik Arteaga I agree!!!!
There is no way that Maher has the balls to have somebody like Kyle or Dore on his show. They wouldn’t let him have a pass to keep saying all the corporately-approved Bullshit he spews about Orange Man Bad
@@IamErik31 I'd prefer the Rock actually. As long as he beats the shit out of Billbo.
Remember when Elizabeth Warren had to apologize for proving she DID have Native American heritage? Nobody was outraged when Obama finally showed his long form birth certificate. But sure, independent non-voters, tell us again how you wish the Democratic Party was as progressive as you are.
brainflash, i don't see how your statements are connected
She had to apologise because she was less Native American than then average random American.
Wait. You really count the fact that she has 1/1024 of Indian DNA as her having Native Heritage? She is liar just accept it. Everyone will find some small trace of Native gens in their DNA. How can you even compare this absurdity to Obama actually providing real evidence.
@Shaken not stirred Tinfoil hat slip?
@Shaken not stirred Oh dumbass, if one parent is american, it doesn't matter where you're born, you're American. Didn't you know that, stupid?
Sorry Bill, Hillary actually had my vote til she yelled at congress, “what does it matter, they’re dead”. I was not on Board after that.
D Cruz how about after she screwed Bernie out of the nomination.....but honestly she’s a vile woman. That was a shitty thing to say.
@@ccb7122 so are you guys at this point still think that at this point trump was a better vote then Clinton??????
Yeah, she did her job and maybe because of the system and laws in place was hypocritical but seeing one thing she didn't necessarily have control over and immediately condemning her is exactly the kind of attitude that'll get trump reelected. She probably didn't love every aspect of her job but that's exactly what would give her an excellent point of view tackling criminal justice reform.
Bernie did nothing wrong.
But yeah, it's fine to find flaws in any of the candidates, but if you think for a second that you shouldn't support any of them against Trump in 2020 well... to take a page out of the moral absolutism playbook, you're complicit in whatever damage Trump does. Harris and Gillibrand are probably my least favorite of the current crop, but I'd still vote for either one of them.
I just hope whoever wins runs a better campaign than Hillary did.
He's not talking about Bernie.. he's talking about YOU.
I think it’s okay to be picky during the primaries but once a candidate is nominated it’s time to overlook the small stuff and focus on what’s more important
That's apparently what happened in 2016. I figured the bragging pussy grabber remarks would have been quite enough to disqualify THAT candidate. If not that, then the entire life history being in the public record - the failures, the schemes, the bullshit, all of it. But even that wasn't enough. And here we are.
Yeah, small stuff like the Iraq War.
"Elizabeth Warren claimed to be Native American. So what?" The hypocrisy here is the funniest part.
Clue 1: get beyond microscopic vision. (Basically what Bill suggested.) Get over yourself.
from an outsider perspective (I'm mexican) I laughed when the whole Pocahontas stuff went on. She auto-sabotaged herself in a way. Now you could argue that that proves she's untrustworthy, but from my perspective she was trying to score brownie points and made a terrible strategy decision. Still, it's a stupid thing to drop her for that alone.
Many white Americans have native American in them. Probably from family oral history, they mentioned it each generation without considering that in each generation that trait gets cut in half. So she was probably just misinformed by her older relatives about how much she really has. But she got it checked out to clarify and went public with it. So people need to get over it.
Hahaha sure pick Elezabeth Warren. She should be the democratic nominee. For sure good choice 👍
