Go F*ck Yourselves: Bill Maher Goes Off on Liberal Purists Who Didnt Vote for Clinton

29. The candidate barely matters at all

The votes are a party line avalanche either way. Will the president sign it? That's what you're choosing, along with big ticket decisions like Supreme Court.

My aunt has no clue. She has no idea what either party stands for. So she watches the primaries and the debates and aligns with anything that attracts her. Last year she quickly sided with Donald Trump so naturally she devoured the fake news and everything else. To this day she believes Hillary Clinton called Russia and asked them if they wanted all of our uranium. Hand delivered.

I wish I were kidding. I love my aunt but in political terms she is a moron. Bill Maher is one of the few who understands how many morons are out there, and what they are capable of. It's tragic and laughable that he is viewed as objectionable while we hitch our hopes to a paperweight like Rachel Maddow, who may still be touting favorable polls for Hillary in South Carolina.

It doesn't help when Oprah Winfrey says you don't have to like Hillary. That was the masochistic attitude that seemed to attach to Democratic circles in general last year. It was like the most ardent Obama supporters were reluctant to throw full support to Hillary in some sort of stupid fear that she would eclipse him in popularity or accomplishment or whatever. I'm a handicapper and it was unmistakable.

Meanwhile, somehow we forgot or devalued what it was like to have a Republican in office. People like Susan Sarandon should be muzzled in presidential election years. There's no such thing as a place or show payoff, unlike tomorrow's Kentucky Derby. It's 4 years of hell and likely 8 years of hell. Presidents whose party has been in power only one term are re-elected almost without exception. That's the horror we face right now.
