    Bill slams this ridiculous new era of mind-numbing partisanship, where simply speaking truth to your own party can make you an instant hero to the other side.

      @@mixedmartialanarchist6469 oh this whole thing goes back much farther then Trump. This is the slow erosion that had been taking place for decades of government doing less for the ppl and more for itself. And I'm sure all that Chinese money that has been thrown around to buy off politicians and American company's and steal our manufacturing capability just pushed it that much faster. I didn't vote for Trump in 2016 (because I generally don't vote) and I kind of thought he was a clown but he was the first president to actually call out China and that was big for me cause every other president gave them a pass. And, even though he has a narcissistic blustery personality that, I will admit, isn't ideal for a world leader his economy did well. And at the end of the day I just want lower cost of living, cheaper gas and the ability to speak my mind. I was able to have all those things under Trump. Biden has definitely raised inflation in a hurry and like Bill pointed out in the video the Democtatic party seems to have lost its collective mind.

      Bill Maher hits *half* of the nail right on the head when summing up the political mess we’re in right now.
      While "It’s not me who’s changed, it’s the Left” is true, and some far left bandwagons are harmful and need to be reigned in, at the same time "It’s not me who’s changed, it’s the Right” is *far* more true.
      Traditional Reagan Republicans are being drummed out of the party by a cult of personality that openly feeds on and encourages violence, often in service of racism, even against our constitutional democracy itself. That isn't happening to the other party.
      There are no modern-day equivalents of the Black Panthers or Weather Underground.

      Maher doesn’t have any idea about most of us that support the many progressive issues, aren’t involved in Twitter and social media madness, and watch the climate change issue continually unaddressed with such desperation.

    Finally, finally, someone with a broad reach who recognizes the absurdity of the current political madness in America and isn't afraid of or beholden to anyone or any party to speak less than the truth. Bill Maher has gone from a left-leaning comedian to still left but now centrist observer of our country's maddening, well, maddening pretty much everything. I wish there were more willing to do the same, but perhaps to get so many people across the political spectrum - just look at the comments below - to come to some level of agreement on anything politics is akin to moving a mountain.

It was the kind that has a long roll of cloth that you yank on to get a new clean section (while the previously used section gets rolled back up into the wall unit). The sticker read something pretty close to: "Warning: Do not insert your head into the cloth towel loop and attempt to hang from it." Well, duh! And you know why that sticker was there. Some kid probably did that, and then their parents sued the diner because the towel unit was "unsafe" because it didn't have that warning.

    If there's ever been a time in which a viable third party could rise, it's now. We need a practical party that reaches "average" Americans, open to sensible progression while preserving valuable traditions. A party that isn't so hamstrung by these algorithm-driven issues, with a strong focus on fixing what is ultimately wrong with the American political systems. Putting restraints and policy in place that addresses the greed and the two-party stranglehold.
    Many of us are sick and tired of the divisiveness and lack of tolerance that comes with the two prevailing political ideologies.

      A third party has nothing to do with voters. The way the system is set up means the politicians within the current parties need to break away. The Democrats came from the Democrat-Republican Party, the Republicans from the Whigs. It would be nice to see moderates from both sides come together to form a party with some actual workable policies.
