I concur; and he often chides his audience for inappropriate laughter.

@Robecology And the continuous clapping seem staged to tell viewers to laugh.

Bill Maher is a comic. He is also a political activist.

Yeah that's why I stopped watching lol

I have to concur. He's become too critical of progressive ideas. But he always was a "Libertarian" and that' often grouped with Conservatives.

Thanks for your input. Your avatar @JonnaBononna appears to be you using a jaw strengthener! LOL!

He describes himself as a Classical Liberal. What I like is he skewers both sides. There are crazy fringe elements in both parties.

@RhondaShotwell Absolutely. The senators almost to the last one are millionaires. They have little to no interest in "the common man" and much more interest in the funding they need to continue getting elected. The problem as a result is that both parties are right-wing in thinking. The so-called Liberals are a very far cry from being Liberals. I suspect that racism is equally divided between the parties. How they persuade poor un-whites or even very poor to vote for them is a mystery to me. But then greed is pretty well a national requirement. Sadly also a Western world requirement.

They always talk over the women. She is a clever girl. That republican would be fresh air after Trump. But is Biden really going to run again in 2024? I'm 75 and I'd not risk running for any office as I see so many younger than I dying.
As an outsider I see little difference one side over the other.
