I love how Bill constantly calls out the SJWs on their nonsense. Those people are ruining liberalism and turning it into something I have a hard time supporting.
You mean his writers, his writers call people out. He merely speaks the words, bit of a difference.
@@haidengeary8277 the actual point the calling out of the sjw
I totally agree! This is not liberalism is Wokeism trying to disguise itself as liberalism.
preach
I am a conservative, and I like watching a lot of Maher... A sensible person on the other side. We currently have too many people on the far left and far right dictating our nation... The people in the middle that can find common ground to fix issues in our country are the ones we need making decisions.
Amen brother, Eric Weinstein says something to this effect very often as well. The middle has to realize we have more in common with each other than with the far ends of the spectrum.
Zachary Whitehead We also need more of you, people who are willing to listen and understand, even if you disagree
I agree 100%
This progressive agrees with you and I appreciate your comment🤘
Agreed lad.
In summary: Don't destroy the Good for the sake of the Perfect.
So, let Hillary fiddle the nomination and take it from Bernie.
very well said
Preach my friend...PREACH TO THE NON-BELIEVERS WHO STILL DON'T GET THIS!! : D
And again Nathan's comment no matter how intelligent and accurate falls on deaf, or in this STUPID ears because the responses is showing that despite how dangerous Trump is to our country fools who are still nitpicking are going to help him get re-elected (GOD HELP US ALL)!!! X - (
@@marshwetland3808 Well you bet everything on Bernie last time, and the result was 2 new right wing clowns on the Supreme Court, refugee kids in cages, and a POTUS who openly told Russians that he doesn't care about them messing with our voting process...despite being the same guy who said the whole election was "rigged". Not exactly an impressive alternative.
Thank you. I am a life long Democrat. I have worked on campaigns in many states. I am sick and tired of the circular firing squad.
That is one of the reasons they got their butts handed to them by Regan and Bush. They stopped for awhile, which helped Clinton beat Bush, but they're at it again.
@@CincinnatusPublish Clinton won because he had charisma and campaigned like a dog. He groveled and
begged for votes. he stayed for hours at rallies. Bush Sr. ran the same aloof campaign Hillary ran.
whats going on now is almost pathological. Its a response to Bernie getting screwed last time. Progs
have a purity test this time, and are in no mood to compromise. but they take it to hyperbolic
levels. It will kill the democratic party............... and re-elect trump
@@danielkokal8819 Sure, Clinton did all of that and the Dems also stopped shooting each other in the foot, which is what gave him that opportunity. The party unified.
I laughted so much. It is the greates image of democrats i've ever "seen" 😂
You just need to stand in the middle to protect everyone
Bill Maher is just the best. Couldn't be more spot on. Not like we'll heed this advice though.
@regulator619 right because you'll vote for Medicare 4 all but you won't vote to stop medicare from being gutted.
Bill Maher is, and I don't say this lightly, the next best thing still out there for those of us who miss both George Carlin and Alan Rickman.
You haven't heard of Dave chapelle or Andrew Schulz or Anthony jesselnik or Jon stewart or literally a hundred other comedians
@@kasipromod7382 Uh, I can't get much information out of your comment other than "there are other comedians", so I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you didn't quite catch the gist of what I was trying to say.
@@ekathe85 They're all better comedians BY FAR.
@@kasipromod7382 Meh. I have nothing against Jon Stewart or Chapelle, they're a little dry to my taste. The other two I don't know them. As for literally a hundred other comedians, if you care to name them I might take a look into them, but even if I do find them better as comedians upon review, I don't think my appreciation for Maher would change, if that's what you're going for
@@ekathe85 I guess you can start with Andrew Schulz
It's been correctly said that "uniting democrats is like herding cats".
meow
That's why Republicans always seem to have an edge... They function as a team.
Mike Hegarty - your comment is why you lost in 2016.
Charlie i don’t think liberals are the problem here, this time it’s the media creating fake outrage to create a story. I see it done all the time and wonder who are the mad people they are talking about
@@drkushajagadeesh6347 I know right it's almost like they learned from......... fascists
I love how Bill went after the trigger happy liberals. I'm a liberal and I really do believe those easily offended people are ruining our liberal party
True, the neoliberals ARE the reason I left the party and Bill’s “Pain chart” hit the nail on the head. I despise the extremists on both sides, disgusted is more like it.
No kidding! I’m not part of either party (having resoundingly resigned as a Republican) but this lack of balls on the democratic side will not help. They have to toughen up and stop “bringing a stick to a knife fight”.
@@hotsauce3700 Maher is a neo lib and so is Hillary.
Thomas Johnson if
I'v been a southern Calif. liberal since the 60s. For the first time I'm thinking "what a bunch of idiots!".
"We go from I love you to DIE in six hours." YES, BILL.
More like we find out some seriously wrong with a polictian and stop supporting them.
James Beaman
NO, BILL. No one has ever done that he’s straw manning.
No staying power 4:45
I will tell you what I want for this country:
(1) Universal healthcare (No that is not radical or communism; that's what every modern nation has)
(2) Universal education (where everyone gets a decent education)
(3) We install critical thinking into our schools, colleges, universities and society at large.
(4) We STOP feeding the military industrial complex; and
(5) We stop giving tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires. Everyone pays their fair share of taxes!
Let's get to work, and let's take our country back.
Umm sounds rational to me. I live in Australia.
@@charki40 Exactly! Btw, I love Australia! :) Beautiful country, awesome people!
How dare you not want to play footsie with the Republicans. Get back to your gig economy peasant.
Zach The Celtics Guy ... Less military spending more environmentally friendly politics
How about universal food and water?
"Looking to dump someone, someone good, because there must be one more perfect." Sounds like you finally started watching Woody Allen movies, Bill.
i am just glad that a famous person like bill spoke this finally out loud on tv. i see this bs since 20 years happening over and over again on all ppl, friends, strangers, family, myself. if this bs goes on, "no sex before marriage" will become extremely demanded again, playing some of the best cards into the hands of the pedochurch. the question is quite simple: if it's impossible to hold the center, do we want to be a prude world with 0 variety of sexual partners, or a whored world where our sons become forced into "living lgbtq"? both choices could end fine or horrible, so i'd say we should really focus on not dumping partners for (own) immature mental imbalance or other nonsense.
The Temptation Island bit was SPOT ON! 🤣
"I love what I have with Trevon, but I wonder if there's someone more perfect for me."
That folk's is why there are less married people and more mass shootings. A complete lack of contentment.
The writers of New Rule are the best of the best! Those punchlines together with Bills delivery make me die laughing everytime! 🤣 And the jokes are borderless, I'm watching from Sweden and get everey reference 👍🏽😁
This is one of the best new rules he has done lately - especially the way he segues from politics to showbiz touching as many hot button issues as possible. Brilliant!
Watching this in 2020 reminiscing about simpler times when people could be in the same place laughing together
Bravo, Bill. Throughout the years I have also learned, "We live in an imperfect world, and even all our heroes have feet of clay."
Burst into flames killed me
The Democrats should have left Al Franken alone also! Bring him back!
Amen!
Honestly,I said the same thing. I was so mad how easily they dismissed him,cowards.
Making co-workers kiss you is awful, when you're 15, 20 years older than them it's especially fucked up. And if a fat or ugly or older woman was doing this to her male co-workers you would want her fired too. You definitely wouldn't want her making public policy and laws.
al franken did it to himself after the pic showed him being a dick. he probably did some other things too that he knew about. he left while he could still leave without being stoned. he apologized. he can come back now if he purged all his memory for other things he may have forgot about in the past. otherwise, stay gone.
Trump say “grab them by the pussy” and you all freak out. You have no principles. This guy actually does it and you beg to have him back? You understand that you can’t have both of those opinions, right? Don’t try to rationalize it, it will be embarrassing as hell. Just know that everyone knows that you’re hypocrites. One day you’ll be all grown up and wonder how you ever thought that leftist politics had any basis in reality. They are racist. They are sexist. They are Anti-Democracy; they work under the guise that they care more about your well being. They don’t. The media does not want you to be informed. Partisan political banter and war feed the fire. They want to go to war in Iran. They want the ratings. The dems want the vote. They’ll do and say anything to get it.
Please think of any political issue you are passionate about. Make a honest list of arguments on both sides of the aisle and try to rationalize the left’s position on any of them.
Godspeed. 🇺🇸
Bill Maher is a National Treasure.
In a hopelessly dysfunctional personal relationship, it doesn't matter how many times you do the right thing because the other person will only ever remember your mistakes. And those are most of the people crying offense and demanding apologies.
If I take out the garbage every day for a month, and forget on day 31, that's not a problem in a normal relationship. But in the dysfunctional relationship I'll hear 'you NEVER take out the garbage!' Now I have a systematic problem with not taking out the garbage.
Anger is natural, because the natural thought is that these people have to be lying when they see things this way, but the depressing thing is that people like this can be totally sincere. Which means they're delusional. I don't know how you handle delusional people, but trying to appease them is fucking impossible, especially when the problem is rooted in trauma. Which is a lot of the howling based on accusations of bigotry.
Trauma does not necessarily give you an enhanced perspective on the source of the trauma: often it's an exaggerated and distorted perspective. If you got menaced by a dog as a child it's understandable that you'd be afraid of dogs today ... but no, that dog didn't threaten you just now, and that dog or its owner shouldn't suffer any consequence because nothing bad happened. And we should all say that nothing bad happened rather than normalizing and enabling the disordered person who thinks they are threatened when nothing bad happened.
There must be 50 ways to leave your (dysfunctional) lover. Make a new plan, Stan.
This niche show in cable is the last bastion of common sense in TV and that is kind of sad, bacause it cannot reach a wider audience.
Actually despite the accuracy of your statement there is websites like TH-cam, but the only drawback is that either trolls or bots programmed to start shit that's the opposite of Bill's points or likability for most of us so it's really hard to tell who is watching these videos or what Russian or corporate hacker is posting to these sites the way climate deniers post to these sites and a lot of them may be hackers too. : - |
*04:34** - THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING **_THAT_** OUT LOUD, BILL MAHER!*
After the primaries I completely agree that you can't always get what you want. But before a candidate is chosen we CAN try and get what we want.
You can try as much as you want, but as Bill said himself, you might end up having nobody to present the Oscars... or the party. Perhaps an unicorn, if it (they?) consents.
@Scott Johnston NO
@@nocturnalrecluse1216 So your okay with the DNC giving you w/e they want then?
Cause that worked so well last time right?
Fucking moron I swear.
You can try and get what you want without bashing other candidates, making it impossible for the Democrats to win if your ideal candidate doesnt
@@mendingwall3823 like how
I am still for bernie though.
well then let me thank you for giving us President Donald Trump. Bernie Voters have the BLOOD of 11 synagogue goers and a young woman protesting NAZIs on American Soil ON YOUR HANDS. Thank You for President Donald Trump
Christ, not another one.
Serai3 thats not really an arguement. Or are you just venting?
RIXRADvidz not really considering 100million people don't vote the same could be siad of them. Are you sure this is how you wish to proceed?
Who's arguing? There's no point arguing with someone who isn't impressed by reality.
I agree. Political correctness is occasionally necessary sometimes and has it's place, but getting it to the point of being precious about it, makes it worthless to things that do matter
That's why Trump won. A real rasict jerk ran for president and his bigotry ment nothing because the PC hand was overplayed.
@@mondoshredder5783 good thing its a myth...there is NO such thing as political correctness
Its a conservative bowel movement boogy man to scare the uneducated
"Heh this may not be PC but did you hear....."
Its the tyranny of not being able to say the "N" word in polite company.....old white people mad they cant say derogatory things in polite company....."oh for the days you could call a spade a spade and still be popular"
Yeah good luck with that
@@mondoshredder5783 lol!!
When everyone is racist no one is.
political correctnes should be about how you say something, not about what you say
“Perfectly good Presidential candidates”. 😂
Bill hit it right out of the ballpark with this segment.
The difference between medicare for all and Obamacare for some people is one heart attack.
Except this isn't a 2 man fight, more of a 3 man. . . And third man holds Highest Land, Has a Grand Plan to takes away your more affordable Heart Exam. . . "Gang up on the Perpetrator, A One on One is a Fair One!"
Every journey begins with a single step. Every medicare for all begins with Obamacare for some.
I'm not even sure what Bill is saying here. Are you saying Obamacare wouldn't cover a heart attack?
@@CommaCam I assumed he meant that someone was standing in the way of medicare for all and that the person needs to have a heart attack.
pakpala1 actually none of the countries that have government founded health care, had anything close to Obama care before
The problem I have with Kamala Harris is her declining to prosecute Steven Mnuchin’s OneWest Bank for foreclosure violations in 2013.
Thousands of lives ruined, no prosecution and no answers. She needs to go.
@@whatever3132 Look, if I have to choose between Trump and Kamala Harris, I am choosing Kamala. I just don't want to have to make that choice if I don't have to and letting people know what she has done or failed to do is all I can do to see that through.
whatever3132 it’s the same thing they did to Hilary and then for two years they’ve done nothing but complain about Trump! At some point the American voter needs to grow the fcck up
If ur going to nitpic over every little thing during these nxt elections welcome to another 4 yrs of Trump
@monokhem That's the thing? We don't have all the facts. It's too easy to make the wrong judgement without all the facts. My worry with her is, is she corporate? I'm done with anyone who takes big donations from corporations. Small donors only. I want someone who works for us, the people. The way it's supposed to be!
I love Bill Maher so much. Not just the politics but digs at things like Taylor Swift, millennial outrage, etc... it is all so important to be said and he is one of the few well known people to actually say these things.
Agreed! : D
This generation is definitely overly sensitive, I can attest to this first hand😅
They seem just as sensitive as the last. What are u talking about? The roles merely reversed. Trash talk a gay, this generation gets offended. Show a gay person in a positive light or just in general in the 70s or 80s, people would have gotten offended.
@@lordoftheflies7024 even in the 90s it was controversial.
Robin Williams playing a gay man in the Bird Cage? Heads exploded over that one.
I'm glad Bill got this out there fast because it's stuff like this that kills Democrats. Yes, some of these candidates have flaws...but for the love of God, it doesn't mean they need to be condemned and thrown into a shark tank to die! The country's future is at stake and we're already (barely) living through the results of not taking such a threat seriously.
Wolfboss7 Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Amy Kloubachar, Julian Castro are not good enough. Sorry. They won’t get any progressive votes. Like you said, the country future is at stake, we cannot afford any half measures.
@@jivet3919 ^^^^^
These idiots are so worried about getting the right candidate that checks off as many diversity boxes as possible and they're completely ignoring that fact that Bernie is the most popular politician out there and Biden would have a great shot at beating trump if he ran. Out of all the others, Warren is the best shot but even then, wont be surprised if Trump is re-elected over her.
Biggest problem is, instead of focusing on this and choosing a direction and going all in, they'll end up eating each other, losing, and then the media and the ultra left will just scream and cry: 1) racism 2) misogyny 3) patriarchy 4) evil white man, while the entire party is lost beneath them
@@jivet3919 Those people aren't "half-measures." What does that even mean anyway?
Wolfboss7 how is the country “barely” surviving? Like how?
There was a lot of truth in this. I think we can have disagreements and I often think we can deal with those disagreements in a seemly manner. Good on ya, Bill.
Mahr is starting to channel "George" …...he keeps this up, he's going to be my next favorite comedian.
He already to me ... That dude is really good.
I don't always agree with Bill Maher, but I always respect his opinion. He nailed this one .
Vox is what happens when there are too many English majors who *aren't* starving.
😂😂 I loved dating an English grad student, the jokes never stopped coming lol.
Vox was recently copyright striking youtubers who criticized them even though they were completely legal.
So he shits on people who like comic book movies, but watches Temptation Island? Got it... LOL
Don't let it ruffle your cape. Excelsior!
No offense, couldn't resist
He gives audience time to laugh after every joke with an expression saying " fellas, you forgot to laugh "
Vineeth Paul
I love him but I think he has professional laughers in the audience. I thought his rant was great, but tho I was entertained, I never laughed out loud once. Yet they laughed at least20 Times.
@@flexnetuser2268.... some are elevated. 😎
Damn I stopped watching him during the initial COVID outbreak but man is he still on point. I’m guilty of attacking other Democrat’s and blowing up their records as if they’re the same as Republican’s sins-he still makes sense out of all of this pettiness.
Lots of self-declared perfect people casting stones. What’s in their closets? This type of moralizing needs to stop.
I've yet to see one single comment that anyone "self-declared" perfection. Nice try, though.
"Lets accept anything but trump" why not expect more of our representatives......why not expect them to be "for the people"
@@savage7ecneek437 because we no longer have the luxury of waiting for that person to appear or being choosy. He has to go.
@@pengwin_ alrigh cool since you dont care and anyone but trump.....lets make bernie the Democratic candidate
@@pengwin_ the main problem we have is centrist accepting corporate donations and voting as such.......you say its not an issue that MFA is not possible.....we'll believe them when they aint taking big oil $ big pharma $..........the same thing you all get on Republicans for taking money from the nra and voting against sensible gun reform......
One of your best, out of many Bill!...
Of all the late show hosts, I identify with Bill Maher the most. He speaks the truth.
There are some hilarious lines in this video!
Compared to the current President, these candidates are decent people. They own their mistakes, he doesn't. If they have a fault, it's theirs, whereas when the president has a fault, it's everyone else's. We are never going to get a perfect candidate, because we are all human, but let's at least try and get a candidate that will, for the most part, do the job, rather than allow a man whose idea of victory is barely keeping the office running to be let back in. We need to stop being at each other's throats, there will be plenty of time for that when we throw out the current administration, because doing it now only emboldened them.
This isn't being defeatist, this is being pragmatic. If you're not prepared to accept less than the best, you will get the worst.
Compared to trump, my left nut is a perfect candidate. Your point being?
Also, bernie 2020
Well I'm independent and voted for neither HC or the current president but I'm dealing with it but I've noticed a lot of dems corporate and otherwise like to play pass the buck with history trying to change it as it suits them... Democrats were for a border wall with Obama; falsely accuse the president of racism and collusion with Russia; both debunked and a bit odd with the finger pointing democrats... newsflash there was no "switch" two dixiecrats only 2 became republican so the tall tale that all Republicans are by default racist is unmitigated horse shit. Also hasn't it come out that McCabe was trying for a coup d'etat barely 8 days in ? which is treason. The only thing that sucks about what I'm saying is I'm not lying about any of it... p.s. Bernie got robbed last election and HC stole it, y'all didn't do squat but let it ride , and benghazi wasn't bullshit she dropped the fucking ball and blamed others
Bet you think Obama is a decent person. Guy had a kill list but it’s ok he goes on Jimmy Kimmel so he’s decent! Fucking moron
While i agree that there can be an issue with tearing down things because they are not perfect, I find the the idea that we cant fairly criticise candidates based on their record dangerous. I also find it funny that the people who brought us Hilary Clinton (the only candidate who could have lost to Donald Trump) are still blaming everyone else for Donald Trump and are trying the same thing over again. It's about winning the next election and a centrist would have a hard time doing it because they can't energise the base or win independents. I hope Bernie, Warren or Gabbard get the nomination as they would wipe the floor with trump
Squiggly Wiggly Maher isn’t opposing criticism of candidates, rather he opposes overzealous purity tests that disqualify people who are reasonably decent. Take Northam in Virginia. A majority of Polled Black Virginians favour him remaining in office but overzealous people keep calling for his resignation. 35 years ago he was a cringe inducing douchebag, not the grand wizard of the kkk. But Democrats have trouble with unreasonable purity tests.
@@segasys1339 The worst part of it is, it's like they're trying to screw themselves before Republicans have a chance. If I were a Republican I'd be laughing my ass off right now!
Bill you hit the nail on the head about millennials.
I don’t agree with pretty much anything Maher believes, but I’ve got respect for him. He genuinely stands for what he believes.
Bill: Liberals need to stop nitpicking liberals to death!
The Comments: Hold my kombucha...
Bill as your biggest fan, I have a feeling you or your producers see your comments. This was one of my fav shows in a long time. You should do a contest to get on your panel.
BRAVO BILL!!!...
Bill Maher should host the Oscars.
But... I don't agree with an offhand comment they made in the margins of a notepad during college, about a subject that isn't relevant to policy.. so you see the dilemma I'm in!
Why don't they let sacha baron cohen host the oscars?
@@Balletified and you can only do that for the "Golden Globes" !!
Because it would be so awessome they would need to invite him every year.
....as Freddie Mercury.
Hee Sing Sia -
They’d crucify him for making fun or foreigners (Borat), Middle Easterners (The Dictator), and gays (Hugo)-even though that wasn’t the point of those movies.
The point is, that the litmus test of the super-sensitive is overly puritanical; kinda like a witch hunt.
U should vote for trump. Giving him one more term( +1 supreme court pick)will teach democrats a lesson
Love this bit, he is so right we need to come together and get the GOP out in 2020
I love how Bill smooths over all the differences between candidates as if there are not clear distinctions between those with massive grassroots following and highly specific economic populist plans, and those who speak vaguely about making things better, with small or no grassroots following and accept money from donors who expect favors in return.
... Every contestant begins their 'journey'........ Burst out laughing
I've always felt like we should ban reality TV or at least ostracize the people who watch it. So... many... stupid... shows. Reality TV didn't exist when I was a little kid. At least not on network TV. TV was better back then. The crappy after school specials that came on in the afternoon once a month or so were actually good comparatively.
Yo Bill when are you gonna have Kyle Kulinski on the show?
Kyle and Jimmy Dore please. They'll hopefully get through to him.
Makeda Cox OMG yes!!!!!!!!!! I was so happy when I heard him on Joe Rogan 😭
Erik Arteaga I agree!!!!
There is no way that Maher has the balls to have somebody like Kyle or Dore on his show. They wouldn’t let him have a pass to keep saying all the corporately-approved Bullshit he spews about Orange Man Bad
@@IamErik31 I'd prefer the Rock actually. As long as he beats the shit out of Billbo.

I feel like the problem most people have with Bohemian Rhapsody is that it changed the events of Mercury's life in a way that made the narrative of the film polished, boring, and predictable. Not that it wasn't "gay enough". I've literally heard no one make this criticism.
Most people simply point out that it didn't live up to it's full potential, and that one good acting performance can't salvage a film.
the real problem with BR was that Brian May and Roger Taylor were producers, so of course insisted that their historical images be cleaned up (no partying for them! they're family men who would never snort cocaine off a tray balanced on a midget's head while at an orgy!)
also, Queen had a massive library but this was like the radio station that only plays the same songs over and over again
It’s legitimate to call out Democratic candidates for not living up to Democratic values because that’s how we determine what Democratic values actually are. That’s what the primary process is all about. And that’s why you need lots of candidates so the party doesn’t split into two factions that become so angry with each other that they withhold their support for the nominee in November. And this is exactly the time when all of the dirt on the candidates SHOULD come out because this is when we’ll find out which of these issues are dealbreakers that will fracture the party or give the GOP ammunition in their attack machine - and it will only help each candidate to formulate their responses to attacks now, well before the contest begins.
I will definitely vote for the Democratic nominee in November 2020, but yes I would prefer a candidate who both shares my priorities and who will be able to win the Electoral College. It’s not “eating our own” to debate which candidates are best suited to represent the party.
Well put! Also, he completely ignores the fact that the DNC fiasco against Bernie, on top of Hillary being business as usual in an America that has failed so many working and middle class people after 8 years of a Democratic president...really, really turned people off.
@@MsZephyra you know the dnc fiasco you point out comes from emails of may 2016 where staff members were frustrated with bernie for not dropping out after it was obviously not going to win the primary. no, of course not, that doesn't support your outrage.
@@MegaMoose1989 You missed my point completely...I recommend you look into what happened and why Bernie supporters were so upset.
As for me, I ended up voting for Hillary in the general election, because despite being status quo and a corporate dem, she still would have been way better than the shitstorm we have now.
@@MsZephyra there were emails that came out from dnc staffers that were critical of bernie but those emails were dated from may of 2016 and were frustrations from staffers who could see that bernie was hurting hillary even though he could not win the primary at that point. russian hacks hacked into the dnc server and released the emails right before the convention to create dissent from bernie supporters. that is what happened.
@@MsZephyra oh and you are not who bill is trying to reach with this new rule. he is reaching those who think purity has to be followed to the t even if it hurts themselves.
I love when Bill calls out his own. I don't agree with him on a lot of things like I used to but he's bang on with this. This is why I still follow his show - because he's not afraid to look inward and call Liberals out on their own behavior.
Thank you for saying it like it is
The Oscar bit was good. Hollywood has flipped.
Tulsi/Bernie 2020
or Tulsi/Yang or Bernie/Yang
Sherrod Brown/Beto

“Nitpicking” things like Hilary’s emails? That’s hilarious. Not holding your candidates accountable will come back to bite you.
I like the pun about having "no reservations."
You can't always get what you want.
In which case, just shut down the government and declare a national emergency until you get it.
Or we organize a bank run a couple of times--that really gets their attention...
I can't thank Bill enough for this segment. Thank you for bringing back some hope in democrats' future in this country. Don't be the always sensitive and all-inclusive side, the side that lowers the majority's way of living to please a minority. Equality is based on equality of opportunity, stop with this parity thing.
I'm 40 and this world has gone to shit! Everyone's too damn sensitive about everything! I love Bill's take cause I feel the same. The world is destroying itself nitpicking the little things! There's bigger things to worry about people! Holy shit!
your raw honesty is awesome ans I have so many new rules for you....
Bill, you forget about Snowwhite and seven dwarfs hint prince kissed her without consent when she was asleep😂😂😂
True 😄
@@analmf1210 Bad prince, heel. 🐶
The same is true of Sleeping Beauty. Nearly every Disney princess from Belle, to Snow White, to Rapunzel, etc. has some kind of non-consensual interaction with a man where that man touches/holds her person and/or performs some kind of sexual assault (e.g. kissing without permission).
Altogether, the liberal movement in America suffers from bouts of acute tunnel-vision.
The base needs to drown out the loud ones instead of allowing them to become focal points.
This applies to conservative movements as well. The nation may be all the better for it.
Now that's telling it like it is!! You ROCK!!!
Brilliant New Rules!!!
Every Democrat has a dark spot - except Jay Inslee? That guy is awesome.
PFFFT! sarcasm have to assume..or you are a King County flake
"Elizabeth Warren claimed to be Native American. So what?" The hypocrisy here is the funniest part.
Clue 1: get beyond microscopic vision. (Basically what Bill suggested.) Get over yourself.
from an outsider perspective (I'm mexican) I laughed when the whole Pocahontas stuff went on. She auto-sabotaged herself in a way. Now you could argue that that proves she's untrustworthy, but from my perspective she was trying to score brownie points and made a terrible strategy decision. Still, it's a stupid thing to drop her for that alone.
Many white Americans have native American in them. Probably from family oral history, they mentioned it each generation without considering that in each generation that trait gets cut in half. So she was probably just misinformed by her older relatives about how much she really has. But she got it checked out to clarify and went public with it. So people need to get over it.
If we don't disqualify candidates based on POLICIES, what is the point of having a PRIMARY?
I CANNOT WAIT... for this guy to be back!
Has Bill Maher talked about Ilhan Omar?
Not sure. I bet it would be great tho!
Not sure but she could do with Maher’s balance and reason.
I think it’s okay to be picky during the primaries but once a candidate is nominated it’s time to overlook the small stuff and focus on what’s more important
That's apparently what happened in 2016. I figured the bragging pussy grabber remarks would have been quite enough to disqualify THAT candidate. If not that, then the entire life history being in the public record - the failures, the schemes, the bullshit, all of it. But even that wasn't enough. And here we are.
Yeah, small stuff like the Iraq War.
This video is spot on! Well stated!
The Labour party in the UK is its own worst enemy too.
New rule: the phrase "it takes all types" shall henceforth be amended to "it takes Bill Maher" 😂😂 the only tv "judge" worth watching
Damn, Bill really dropped the ball with this one.
No, Bill is solidly on point here.
Ah no, he was on point here.
Having a quality candidate matters, people who didn't vote Hillary won't vote Kamala or booker and that matters. Fake progressives like Hillary and Obama are gonna keep the Republicans in office in 2020
You are the best!! I’m hoping you never leave HBO.
Bill Maher is very bright. Very talented. Ivy league was likely relatively easy for him. I'm sure it enhanced his already existing creativity. That's what struck me when I listened and observed. Tons of respect for stance on the truth.
My Favorite Clip Ever! People are so freaking sensitive these days.
Get rid of citizens united.
Shorten election cycles to 6 months.
Bill is still trying however he is pretty funny. Love to meet his writers.
It is your decision. Think about it, no rush to judgement.
This idea that you can’t closely scrutinize candidates is ridiculous. It’s a primary and that is the entire purpose of the primary to scrutinize the people who are throwing themselves into the ring and decide who you think offers the best ideas. This whole rant was off
The problem is that you're scrutinizing them for meaningless bullshit that, more often than not, has nothing to do with their actual policies or beliefs.
007MrYang
Who they take money from, and how they’ve acted in earlier positions is indicative of how they will act as president.
Scrutinize them all you want, but only on issues that actually impact their ability to do the job.
Primaries are not supposed to be some fucking cheerleading for "our team" but weeding out the fakes from the real deal. Thats what democracy is about right? Finding the right representative that will represent YOU and not some corporate master!
Renlys Other Lover
The point is don't spread bullshit lies and blow things out of proportion. Simple as that. The world would be a lot better off if we'd only learn how to stop lying to each other so much.
Sorry Bill, Hillary actually had my vote til she yelled at congress, “what does it matter, they’re dead”. I was not on Board after that.
D Cruz how about after she screwed Bernie out of the nomination.....but honestly she’s a vile woman. That was a shitty thing to say.
@@ccb7122 so are you guys at this point still think that at this point trump was a better vote then Clinton??????
It's like bill can't have a show without yelling "kids get off my lawn"
Elect Bernie and maybe the whole world will stop hating the US
We tried with Obama
The world doesn’t hate America Americans hate America
@@newsannouncement226 you are right, the world doesnt hate, the world fears America
Fuck Bernie
Please therflash stop wishing.
Why can't all of us admit we've our own monsters inside and from the past? We ain't perfect, we're HUMANS! Dems should lessen their "holier than thou" nitpicking and confront what needs to be done: 2020 Elections. Uncle Bill says it over and over again, Dems started strong but loss in the last run partly due to this "moralist" attribute. Hope we learn what happened in 2016. We. Have. One. Job. ONE. JOB!
Yeah, Get Behind the Strongest Candidate and don't throw your fucking vote away over principles. You were told to vote for Hilary by Bernie. and yet you chose to hand the Presidency to Donald Trump because You Had To Vote For Bernie. not you personally @Paul Ramos but Bernie Voters in General.
@@RIXRADvidz why does every fucking thread have somebody i need to remind of this? 25% of hillary supporters in 2008 voted for mccain. only 10% of bernie supporters voted for anybody other than hillary in 2016.
*you* should be unifying behind *us.*
Because we need to hold our nominee to high standards. I have no doubt in my mind that Corey Booker, Kamala Harris, and Beto O'Rourke are losing to Trump in 2020. No doubt.
The time for "moderates" is over. There are serious issues that threaten our future. Green new deal and universal healthcare are absolutely essential for viable candidates moving forward.
Being a corporate puppet is hardly something I would consider a "minor flaw" as Maher put it. Politicians being in the pockets of Big Business and banksters is the reason America can't have nice things. All of those corrupt fuckers should be voted *out* of office, regardless of which party they belong to.
I love how he addressed the smearing of Tulsi from the news establishments.. Oh! Wait.. He didn't.. I wonder why?
Bitch please , tulsi gabbard is part of the alt right masquerading as a progressive , she is no Bernie .
John Anchan "I love how he addressed the smearing of Tulsi from the news establishments.. Oh! Wait.. He didn't.. *I wonder why?!*
---
Because the time he can spend on each segment is limited?
Jb Morgan I think you missed the point of this video, and missed it spectacularly.
Tulsi really is in a shitty league of her own though. She doesn't just not pass the "purity test" but there are several real concerns about her professional conduct and her policies. I agree with Maher that we're otherwise being waaaay too picky about most of the other candidates particularly Klobuchar, Bernie, and Warren.
I can't see Maher promoting her - she isn't a clinton fan, thank God! harris on the other hand is just another younger corrupt clinton-clone! She will keep the horrific greedy politicians on both sides of your aisle happy - as she keeps the pollution/corruption of all the corporate-owned political hacks, hidden away - just like clinton would have. I despise trump - but one thing he did do - was expose all the hideous corruption in your government - simply by being an idiot! God help your failed country!
"...I have no reservations!" I don't get it... 🤣
The pot shot at the HuffCompost was enough for me to hit thumbs up.
