Maher to Democrats: ‘Ease up on the identity politics’
The Extract ^ | 5.2.17 | Editor

In a recent CNN interview, left-leaning HBO host Bill Maher shared some advice for Democrats. His remarks to Jake Tapper came on the heels of comments by Hillary Clinton regarding the causes of her loss to Donald Trump in November’s presidential election.

Of course I think Bill Maher is dead wrong about almost everything he says; but I hope the Dems never decide to start taking his advice. That's usually spot on.

He is just running his mouth and will still find “racism” everywhere.

This is just Maher trying to remain relevant and liberal contrarian. He wants to keep the gender identity stuff all for himself anyway.

Left leaning...

That’s like saying a monsoon is the same thing as a sprinkle.

Note he isn’t saying “stop”, he’s saying “not as much”.
He still agrees with it, but realizes this hurts their so-called progress. So dial it back until in control.

Yeah, Maher is definitely a leftist; however, he is one that tends to open his eyes once in a while and make insanely rational thoughts.

Yep. "We only have to fool them until election day." Then, anything they want.

Nah. He’s just giving them a heads-up to hide it better. Their tactics have been exposed.

I don't watch his show, but from I have read about him, you are right. He has his finger on the pulse of America when it comes to stuff like this, it seems.

Ease up?

HA!

There are literally generations of Dems/progressives/Marxists completely steeped in identity politics; now to the point where it is reality.

Public schools, at all levels, preach this daily.Easing up? That would get one branded a heretic, possibly fired.

"News" (laughing) organizations keep identity politics as one of there core tenets, and would never, ever "ease up. Such blasphemy would get one tarred and feathered (Okay, chocolate-sauced and fiber-filled.)"

Isn’t this guy who’s giving advice to the Democrats a TV comedian?

“Make it look like you represent everybody”

So basically just lie. Sounds about right

If not for hatred and anger the Dems would have nothing to offer.

When he went the route of trashing Christians and God, it was the final nail in his comedic coffin for me.

As you said, Maher is right, for once. Whether it’s Hillary’s “I’m with her” to say vote for her because she’s female, Barack Hussein whose only qualification was being black, or the rest of the identity politics, it’s disgusting.

I react exactly the same to the socialist/leftist “vote for me I’m a member of a victim group” as I react to Aryan Nation “vote for me because I’m white”. From an electoral perspective, it’s fortunate that the Ctrl-Left is both too stupid and too hateful to learn from their mistakes; they won’t be listen to Maher or to anyone else who recognizes reality.
