Democrats to get a backbone or for them to sit down and vote like they're told to?

Maher is extremely witty and observant, just not as omniscient about all subjects as he believes himself to be.

The nation shall oppose third way democratic principles with or without this cable tv yakker.

Third way democratics do not have the support of Republicans, Independents and many Democratic's as well.


Both parties clearly require deep soul searching at this point. Why is it that the RNC is making some progress in that self reflection but the DNC is not?

And that includes a solid pot connection and low taxes.

Under a Sanders admin, Bill will be paying a fair share in taxes and will have to wait in line at the dispensary just like everyone else.

Regardless, I don't enjoy lectures delivered by the 1%. And he was suggesting there's little difference between the two candidates.

You, who have made a profession of calling out tone deafness, weak kneedness, and political pandering, don't understand what's going on? Oh, Bill you have fallen into a bubble you do not recognize. So, with all due respect, please use this:

I don't think liberals are "fighting" - some people are just real pissy because other people support another candidate.

You would rather have Hillary than one of those racist hate-filled right-wing nuts who will set this nation back years and cause the death of many people here and around the world. I'm all in for Hillary but if Bernie gets the nomination I will be all in for Bernie. Please put the purity aside and think about what this nation will be if you actively work against your own best interest. You can push Hillary to go the way you think she should... the right will push you back and do the exact opposite just to spite you.

Well we aren't fighting other liberals. Liberals are fighting with Democrats who think they own the party.

... but you'll be wringing your hands together and crying as a right-wing nut runs this nation into the ground. I'd rather get behind the Democratic nominee no matter who it is and get that person into the White House to build on all that President Obama has been able to do than to stand strong on principle and bitch for 4 years about the republican president.

arguing for our candidate in the primary when we have two candidates each going in the opposite direction. Hillary is corporatist and Bernie fights for a return to the old party values.

I know that the party is being split in two at a very dangerous time but I think that it is not because of arguing values. It is more because those of us on the Bernie side do not like the way Hillary plays the game. Every time there is another dirty trick the valley between us widens.

If change is needed it is in how the campaigns approach the issues - what is not working is lies, husbands with bull horns, voter supression, media favoritism, a one sided DNC, DSCC, DCCC and state party bias. These are the issues that are driving the wedge.

As long as the dirty tricks continue our hope of winning in the GE will go down. That is what Bill needs to address. We are not just arguing - we are trying to clean up the party.

It's great hearing all different voices and Bill Maher's arrives with great humor. That I agree with what he's saying makes me glad there's others out there who see it this way and reminds me that delivering a message with humor helps bring a good point across in a way that makes people smile.
