"Bill Maher TORCHES Communists Democrats: “Two Democratic congressmen released an open pledge that they wanted their fellow Democratic members to sign. It said, ‘We are capitalist, not socialist. We want safety, not lawlessness. We are proud, not ashamed of America.’” “You know how many did [sign onto the pledge]? 8 out of 212.” “Guys, really there’s got to be an easier way to LOSE the swing states.”"

"Bill Maher reads Anthony Fauci’s own diary entries to prove the point that Fauci’s shameless self-promotion makes President Trump’s quotes look tame by comparison. The moment Maher started putting the two side by side, the audience lost it. MAHER: “And for the people who say, you know, Trump, he just lived by people kissing his ass.” “I got some of the Fauci…this is from Fauci’s diary, compared to some of the things Trump has said.” Trump: “A strong man came up to me…tough kind of a guy. He said, ‘I want to thank you, Mr. President.’ He had tears coming in his eyes.” Fauci (diary): “The nurses went absolutely wild to see me. They were squealing and laughing and clapping. It was something to behold!” Trump: “I’ve been on the cover of Time magazine 14 or 15 times. I think we have an all-time record.” Fauci (diary): “Many print profiles and features on me. Ridiculous. Too many to count!” Fauci (diary): “I’m such a valuable spokesperson and a good communicator.” Trump: “I have a very good brain.” “So I’m just saying…”"

"I'm not voting for anyone who thinks the wrong side won the Cold War or cheers for the Intifada like it's the World Cup."
"Strangely enough, Dan probably will."

"Bill Maher’s audience audibly gasps when he reads what the Democratic Socialists of America are actually saying out loud: MAHER: “Trump has told 1 trillion lies, but when he says the DSA are actually COMMUNISTS, that’s not one of them.” “And it’s not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates.” “J.D. Vance was on the show, and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going in the direction of the DSA, my vote was in play. And all I heard all vacation was, ‘Oh, my God, you’re a Republican now.’ No, that's not what I said. I said in play, and here’s why.” “Because not a week goes by where I don’t read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in the Democratic Party. And then when that face opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out! Again.” “Let’s just read the quotes. The DSA platform says: ‘You work as much as you are able and no more than needed.’ If that was any closer to Karl Marx’s dictum, from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs, they’d be sued for plagiarism.” “New York Mayor Mamdani once tweeted, Karl Marx’s words exactly. They’re not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy, he laments the fall of two of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China.” “Mamdani's aide, his top aide, Cea Weaver, said, ‘If you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over.’ And ‘impoverish the white middle class.’ What? That's a goal? You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right?” “One of the new, soon-to-be Democratic congresspeople, Darlesia Chavalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords and said, ‘Seize the means of production.’ Mamdani has said ‘The end goal is seizing the means of production.’ I think they want to seize the means of production.” “Now, maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether, but THAT'S COMMUNISM.” “Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance. And I must take them at their word. When their words include, ‘Our commitment is to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated classless society. In a word, communism.’” “What do they have to do, tweet out ‘Elect more communists’? Oh, yeah, Cea Weaver did that.” [Shows tweet, audience audibly gasps] “Yes, [she really did that]! ... People gotta realize this is going on.”"

Now if only Maher had any real influence on those of his kind! THAT would be something!
I mean, we can look at his reach by examining various metrics. His show has ratings, his social media has measurable followers, as does his You Tube presence, although we can't measure how far a lot of this goes when it's shared. We can have a good idea of his footprint in the world. We obviously don't know how many of his audience he's persuading. Yet, is it not reasonable to presume that he's persuading some of his audience? Isn't any diminution of the DFL voter base better than nothing?
Yes, it is reasonable, and yes, it's better that only 3,999,999 Democrats voted instead of 4,000,000. And even if that one person didn't vote GOP, but merely didn't vote, that's good, too.
At this point, I wonder if it's enough for him to complain about the worst of his kind as if they're not rapidly spoiling the whole bunch. I would assert that the worse of his kind are simply those who unabashedly promote straight-up communism, while the party has, in reality, been leaning (to say the least) in that direction since Wilson and FDR.
Should he ever get to the point where he says something like, "we MUST support the GOP to stop the harm the Dems are openly inviting", it'll be nice to see. So many don't even believe that's been happening, even despite the horrors of the Biden years.
Obviously anyone who doesn't vote DFL is a good thing. Also obviously, his guests are also people who have influence and can spread the information.
Who cares if it's "enough", it's better than the alternative isn't it? It's better than Maher (or Carville) jumping on the DSA bandwagon and supporting them.
He's already said that his vote is up for grabs and that he'd vote for a GOP candidate. It's a process and it's better than nothing.
