You are exactly who needs to hear his message. But you won’t. Because you’re convinced you’re too cool and too above it all. You’re deluded.

Whatever, pops!

So, so out of touch. Keep it up!

Left transitioned into a party who obsesses about white rage, white men, Karens, white supremacy non stop.

Yeah, he's *so* in tune with real Americans. Arrogant sanctimonious painfully unfunny hack.

Yeah, go ahead. Start attacking him like everyone else that doesn't agree with you.

Are you gonna make him the next Karl Rove or Sean Spicer or Tulsi Gabbard or.......

Bill Maher is spot on.

When you can’t refute the message, refute the messenger.

I can't wait for the midterms. This will be fun to watch.

While I generally agree, I think Maher spends too much time on Twitter. Real Democrats aren’t represented on Twitter.

There is not much I agree with Maher about politically. But, he is spot on with this segment.

I think Maher was spot on. The middle of the road Dem probably can see it...but doubt the far left side has the ability to. It's very similar to the middle of the road Rep probably can see the negative impact of Trump years, while the far right of the party can not.

Cue getting hit by extremist on both sides disagreeing with my comparison in 3...2...1...

I can see all the previous posters continue to plug their ears and blame RW talking points or take the AOC explanation that young voters didn’t show up because the agenda wasn’t sufficiently progressive and that’s why democrats lost.

Stop.

Just stop.

Stop the singular lens of identity politics through which your party must view all things. Stop labeling everything white supremacy, or sexism, or the patriarchy, or basically elevating grievance culture to the fore, and pushing lack of self accountability to the background, and blaming external forces out of anyone’s control as the sole reasons for peoples problems. Stop trying to redefine or cut funding for policing in violence plagued communities. Stop using academic jargon in your policy language and getting mad when the average American doesn’t factor in intersectional feminism into every issue, when they just want to buy affordable gas and educate their children. Your focus on the rights of like tiny swaths of the population is going to fk you in the elections. I don’t care how hip you want to be.

Your candidates also lost because parents are concerned about the watering down of Gifted and Talented classes programs, or math education, or “punctuality” or basically that you lost focus of teaching English, math and science and decided to focus more on humanistic concepts and social injustice. Bother are important issues. Racism is terrible. However, people are not just perpetual victims that you can infantalize as John McWhorter succinctly notes. People are fed up with your histrionics and sensationalist bs. Get a fking grip.

It's a terrible sign for Democrats that she believes this is the lesson to be learned. It's insane that she thinks they're going to win more elections by continuing to push left. They're pushing the moderates/independents (the ones who really decide the elections) away.

The young are significantly farther to the left. If the party runs has-been corporate Democrats like McAuliffe it will lose because he doesn’t represent the progressive change needed in society and demanded by younger voters. More candidates like AOC and Ayanna Pressley are exactly what is needed to drive the young to the polls and finally make the country a nation that works for all, not just a privileged few. It’s your “moderate” Dems like Manchin and Sinema who are standing in the way of progress.
Also, you sound old.

Yeah, we’re not there yet.

Yes, young people appear to lean much more progressive, but the country is still decided by older and suburban voters. Also, Republicans are making inroads with immigrants. I would not say that leaning much further left, at present, would win elections.

Maybe in 10 years once a new crop of voters is in place and holds on to their angst from a tough job market, school debt, expensive housing, generally poorer quality of life than their parents.

Republicans or conservatives are surprisingly adept at navigating political peril though. Look throughout history and there have always been cyclical changes even when all signs seem to point to progressives taking over.
