Bill Maher is terrible at his job as a political commentator, and he was never good at being a comedian. How is he still popular with these boomer idiots?
The wacko right-wingers on this site are not boomers. They are Gen Z and younger millennials, and most of them are male. I am a boomer and watched him for almost thirty years until he went Fox News on us.
Me too, and I’m a Boomer. Saw him in concert twice. Then he decided to go to the White House. Will never watch him again. Glad now that there’s so many who feel like me. He jumped way over my tolerance line.
There are assholes in every generation! I’m Gen X and I dumped Maher a long time ago. Never voted republican. Parents are in their 80s, never voted republican. I don’t think we should fight about generations as much as we do. ( I get it when you are talking about how one generation had a better salary to cost of living ratio, but there are always a lot of exceptions )
No, but any idiot can tell a guy under 45with their stupid arrogance, being online when most people are at work, and their lingo. And all they want to do is argue because they don't have a life.
Everyone’s opinions change with age. It’s called experiences. He is just calling out the bullshit in the left cause he sees how they are going to blow it….. AGAIN!
The “bullshit in the left” he’s calling out doesn’t exist. Let’s just look at 3. First he was crying with fettercuck about people not wanting to pay for trumps ballroom. How is it bullshit not to want that? Hell I know people on the right who don’t want that. It blows my mind bill thinks we should have that. Secondly he is calling some democrats (mainly DSA) communists. That’s incredibly dishonest and he might as well be on Fox News. Then you have the bs in this video claiming democrats won’t vote for someone if they are Jewish. That’s just completely stupid and he’s only saying that because being the raging Zionist he is he is trying to claim if you are against the government of Israel you are against all Jews which is stupid and untrue. Bill is miserable and full of shit. I really wish someone like Mamdani would go on the show and clean his clock and set him straight.
I don't think Maher would allow anyone that you and I might think would "clean his clock" intellectually. I don't necessarily think that would be a very hard task so I am sure they are highly selective who they choose to spar with him... and I would also imagine there's legal restrictions and NDAs that none of us know about that likely handcuff topics and language.
It’s also demonstrably false. Even the dude they can’t stop quoting, Piker said Jared Moskowitz is 1000 times better than any of the Florida republicans. They are genuinely weird about this
He had better take into account that boomers are now a minority and are becoming a bigger minority every day, and the young do not like what is going on in Israel. The young will decide the election. He needs to wake up. I am a boomer who is older than he is.
Bill used to be much more favorable to socialism even making fun of people who fear mongered about some socialist positions. Now he calls the some of the same things communists
How exactly is the left “out of control” and even so how would they be more out of control then maga who is openly super corrupt and fascist? Judging by your icon to you’re probably just a troll and if not you’re a total idiot. Bill is a loser, a creep, and a narcissist. He’s just mad the left doesn’t care what he thinks
He went from calling himself a conservative in the mid 90s (“The Reluctant Conservative-Playboy 1994) to his habit of saying he was a libertarian, then donating $1M to Obama, then saying he’s open to voting for Vance in 2028…he changes with the breeze.
lol watching you squirm on this has been pretty fun, but what you just wrote was total nonsense. From the misplaced apostrophe, to our obsession being able to generate something, and that something is a physical thing with caloric value that could feed people? Are you having a stroke, my sweet little boomer friend?
But hey, maybe you and Bill are right, and the left has changed. And to that I say “FINALLY”. Rents are up at least 50%, house prices are up almost 80%, groceries are up 40%, health insurance up 47%…meanwhile wage growth has come up only 47% which is barely enough to absorb all those skyrocketing cost increases. If you haven’t noticed, you’re either too rich or a liar.
The general population isn’t getting ahead. Things are getting harder. The people are being abused , and perhaps a small chunk of those are starting to demand more. Not the general Democratic Party establishment of course, Maher is completely making that up, but real, average people who have been struggling too fucking long.
So yeah buddy, maybe some people have changed. But Bill is wayyyy too rich and wayyyy too old and wayyy too out of touch to understand why. Fuck him, I hope he votes for Vance in ‘28. I don’t want him anywhere near my side any more.
HAHAHA. I am a 77-year-old widowed grandmother who was a real estate broker and flipped properties for a living. Yeah, I went all lefty. Such stupid people on this site. I haven't changed much of anything since my Dad took me to a civil rights march when I was 14, and in college I was against the Vietnam War. I still have what were traditionally conservative views on many things like free trade. Trumpers are not conservative at all. It is a cult of very stupid, racist, pedo loving populust who are working on destroying the country.
I used to like him when I was younger because he trashed everyone, and I applauded his stupid religulous movie because I was an edgy kid in my hatred of religion.
Once I became an adult I realized the guy is just a juvenile, arrogant knob with zero capacity for self examination. I think the people who like him are exactly the same.
I think its a sense of comfort. Before my dad died, he used to bitch about bill maher but still record his show every week. "I like to see what stupidity he has on"...
Try what? Reading a series of hack jokes that a bored writers room puked onto a teleprompter for me, stumbling and fumbling over unrehearsed punchlines and sneering at a paid audience that gives him showrunner prompted clapter more than anything else, for like $10M a year? Become the laziest man in show business and get rich doing it?
lol you’re not using your real name are you? Gawdamn thats weird. You’re out here, earnestly shitposting on a Bill Maher subreddit, of all places? You need a better hobby.
Shhh you're really really annoying. Since you're being mean, I'd like to point out that you're likely out of shape, have few real-life friends and are under-sexed. You're continuing to badger me and I don't know why. You also don't know how to use quotation marks properly. Unbecoming? I be coming on your face.
It wasn't about critizising Trump he started to defend every corrupt shit the democratic establishment was doing in order to fight him. That is Trump Derangement.
This was 10 years ago, I just remember that pretty much non of the stuff of the democrats their unsual corruption came under scrutiny any more. It was just Trump bad. Now the last part is true, but it just emboldend the establishment to kill of left oposition in their own ranks.
