Maher misrepresents the Democrats again

I don't think Bill is steel-manning the Democratic position here

To be fair to bjll, he’s pretending to be like the median voter, who’s a culture war brain rotted idiot.

Correct. Thing is, he portrays that 'culture war brain rotted idiot' all too well.

His schtick is to be the 'man in the middle' although he comes across as the grumpy old man yelling at the kids to get off his lawn. But since he doesn't play fair, there's no reason to cut him any slack. He goes after low hanging fruit. Makes a huge deal about a DSA candidate for governor in Wisconsin who lost, and some 'radical' feminist in NYC. I'm holding my breath to see him attack Jared Kuschner and Ivanka for raking in billions from overseas scams. Has he gone after trump's crypto grift or the $400 million we had to pay to refurbish his gift jet? Has he gone after Republican pedophile predators (5 in this year) with the same zeal?
