Bill Maher nails it AGAIN!

He does tend to have a more logical view than you would anticipate from a liberal, I give him credit for thinking.......among people who have abandoned thought......

Maher's view of politics is that:

1. the right wing wants the poor to starve and freeze to death.
2. the far left wing are nuts with their SJW bullshit.
3. normal people are center-left.
4. while many define socialism as a full replacement of capitalism where "the workers own the company" (whatever that means), Maher seems to be in the camp that socialism means supplementing capitalism with big government programs and that's it.  So he is in favor of free healthcare for all, free housing and education for the poor, all paid for by taxpayers.  The term "mixed economy" implies a false definition that republicans don't want to help the poor, and so you need to mix capitalism with big government programs.

Maher needs to be exposed to lifelong republicans that do charity work for the poor.  Although the odds are low he'd change his mind.

[JustinCharge 2,397]

I think the political compass for many boils down to if you think charities are enough to help the needy, and if you think government programs are enough to help the needy.  How you answer those 2 questions will determine the politics of a large share of the population.  Maher answers no / yes.  So he's on the left.

Maher does sometimes have good takes on things.    And he's one of a very small group of liberals who are willing to recognize and acknowledge the things the right is correct in and the stuff that the left is way off on.   That puts him in a group of him, Matt Taibbi, Tim Pool, and. . . .   Yah that's probably about it.

My problem with Maher is that I just can't get over what a doosh he is.   I mean really, he's just a giant doosh.   Too bad because we need more liberal unicorns who don't just march in lock step to the party mantra.

I like it.

There is a reality that the left has no leadership.  And they are desperate for it.  Even the poor leadership under Obama was better than none.

Kimmel and Fallon still have their jobs?

He’s right about the self segregation part. It’s the easiest way to not have a conflict. Nice work libtards. 

[wiffleball 4,642]

Yeah, he's been calling the loony left out extremely well for the past year especially. 

 

He's about the only one I want to watch anymore.

Maher is an old school Liberal, and I can deal with that.  Modern Leftists are a whole different animal - most despicable and dangerous people on the planet.
