Bill Maher has a habit of trying to claim he’s a center-left and sensible Dim, while always supporting the Dims.
Bingo. His only concern is, the left, or democrats, because of something they're saying or doing, are going to hand the next election over to the right, or republicans, or to Donald Trump.
OTOH, he's also at least talking a good game against the transgender delusion. On still another hand, he's an entertainment industry nitwit, and he says what he thinks will keep him on the air.
The leftist trash -- even among other alleged entertainers -- won't accept that. So now he has a podcast instead of a broadcast, and perhaps a wider, and much more reasoning and reasonable audience from the occasional conservative viewers.
