Bill Maher: ‘Democrats Suck,’ ‘They’re Horrible’

[Old Nick]

Here's hoping our next President was on tonight's panel.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

1. After all is said and done

Bernie always makes sense because he sees the truth and tells it.

K&R

[blackbart99]

2. That's Bernie being Bernie.....

Gotta love the guy!!!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

3. Bernie is the real deal; yesss, love the guy!

[hollysmom]

7. ot me,

I think he is an ass - a libertarian who leads liberals and progressives off a cliff convincing people that no one is worthy of their vote.

[freedom fighter jh]

8. Libertarian?

What has Bernie ever said that is libertarian?

[djean111]

16. Maher, not Bernie.

[freedom fighter jh]

21. You sure?

My comment was a reply to reply #7, which was a reply to a comment about Bernie.

[hollysmom]

25. Sorry my mistake, I like Bernie, mea culpa.

eta. sometimes I should go to bed rather than be on the internet. note not the only thing I got wrong. I swear I was not drinking, but there are days when my mind seems off.

[Enthusiast]

10. I'm so glad your view is in the minority. On the issues, the American people are right with Bernie.

There is nothing libertarian about Bernie. You really don't know Bernie at all.

[glowing]

14. He's a democratic socialist. He's has nothing to do with Libertarian anything.

Perhaps you are thinking of Rand Paul? He's a libertarian.

[Prophet 451]

15. You mean Maher, right?

'Cos Bernie is a Social Democrat.

[LittleGirl]

4. I will vote for Bernie

I hope that he runs, I hope that he is chosen and I hope that he wins. This country needs more Bernies and more Warrens.

[blackspade]

5. Bernie lays the hammer down!

[mazzarro]

6. Wow, just wow...

Bernie was just holding it in and restraining himself from just spilling his frustration on how the election came out. I am impressed with his passion and I will definitely support him if he runs within the Democratic party or not.

[ballyhoo]

9. I will vote for Bernie if he runs. But it is going to be a long two years.

[whathehell]

11. Bill Maher sucks

though I'd agree that Dems did a shitty job getting their "message" out,

as they frequently do.

[kansasobama]

12. Bernie is correct but

At this point, he and Elizabeth Warren's job is to act like a "responsible" left Tea Party. We will still have to run as left-center (Hillary Clinton) and then incrementally rule left. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. Liberals are irresponsible, get mad at tiny things, are impatient, and are unreliable voters who do not vote in mid-terms. The GOPers and Tea Partiers are reliable, they vote in all elections, and they will vote and put aside differences. We can keep avoiding this fact and we will keep losing..

If our voters are reliable, then Democrats will not act GOP-lite. I know it goes both ways but why don't we liberals insist and vote every time.

[djean111]

17. So - what happened to all of the non-liberals who DO vote in the mid-terms?

I thought liberals were just a tiny group!
Sorry, fail.

And fail at the gratuitous swipe at liberals.

[ctsnowman]

13. Sen. Sanders nails it.

The fact is 2 thirds of the people did'ne see a reason to vote. There was no "wave" it was a ripple.

[whereisjustice]

18. The Democratic Party can't have its middle class and eat it too.

[Dustlawyer]

19. We need to support Bernie with everything we have to show him and the rest of the Democrats

that we will have to fight for real Democracy and Representative government! He wants Publicly Funded Elections which is the only way to break the stranglehold of the big money that currently runs this country. We should worry about splitting the ticket, so we should forget about Hillary right off of the bat.

[skip fox]

20. One might think that in the universities, age would be respected

more than in "regular" society. It may be, but in my experience as a 68 year old professor, I seem to notice it more and more.

In stores &c one feels it as well, but in restaurants (where the aged tend to tip well) it's reversed.

[Smarmie Doofus]

22. First panel I saw on which *everyone* was right.

Even the gop "strategist".

re. Sen. Sanders: It's time. Right now.

No one else on the scene is in touch with... or even *attempting to make contact with*.... reality.

Even if he doesn't win ( I hope he does) he can prod the eventual nominee ( presumably Clinton)and the rest of the party to the left in the primaries while simultaneously educating the electorate in Economics 101.

[adirondacker]

23. Was Maher's alias Pretzel Warrior?

Good on Bernie for staying on message!

[mountain grammy]

24. Bernie never wavers, because he's 100% truthful.. and correct!

[Man from Pickens]

26. Advance to 10:25 in the video

play and replay and play and replay again until you get it

Economic issues are paramount. Runaway wealth accumulation by a tiny few does not offset massive and continuing drops in the standard of living for everyone else.

Pretending that things are recovering, improving or are OK is a HUGE political loser.

[Joe Turner]

27. We need more Democrats like Bernie

No matter how he is labeled, the core of his ideology used to be the standard Democratic Party ideology...prior to the corporate take over of the party courtesy of the DLC. If this election showed anything, democrats will not turn out in numbers to vote when their candidates talk like republicans.

[roamer65]

28. Bernie is right as usual.

Start talking about meaningful issues to middle class and low income voters and we will win elections. People are tired of the sucking up to the wealthy on both sides and are simply not showing up due to apathy.

[Hulk]

29. She is so wrong...

Yes, it IS regional my young, innocent, smiling fool. Regional in the sense it's the South AND rural bible-belt America.

I know, that breaks down the simple "regional stamp", but it IS the South and "rural America". Time to pick on the "ruralites" as well as the majority of those in the South. Ever watch "Grapes of Wrath", "Places in the Heart"...then fast forward about 70-80 years; and it's much the same. That's the real "bible-belt". Drive cross country sometime and try to find an am radio station that isn't playing evangelical horse biscuits or some intelligent garbage like rush/vannity/savage, or some lesser reich wing nut. Not going to happen. These folks live in a cave and write on stone walls when it comes to a progressive America. Some bat shit crazy in them thar hills.

Yeah, it's regional....the South AND rural America. Nuff said.
