On Friday's Real Time show on HBO, liberal host Bill Maher and actor Jim Carrey celebrated recent Democratic candidates running on far-left platforms and identifying themselves as "socialists," leading Carrey to proclaim: "We have to say yes to socialism -- to the word and everything. We have to stop apologizing."
As Maher turned the discussion to the midterm elections and the successful primary campaigns of candidates like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the liberal comedian rejoiced that Democrats are moving to the far left on issues:
And they did it with unabashed liberal proposals -- Medicare for all, ending student debt, a different approach to the war on terror, ending mass incarceration. It seems like if there is a -- maybe shining spot in this Trump tragedy, it's that it's made the Democrats sort of rediscover who they are.A bit later, he lamented that Democrats have not not done a good enough job of countering Republicans complaining that they are running on a "socialist" platform.
Carrey soon referred to his childhood in Canada and spoke in favor of socialism:
I grew up in Canada, okay, we have socialized medicine. And I'm here to tell you that this bullshit line that you get on all of the political shows from people is that it's a failure - the system is a failure in Canada. It is not a failure, and I never waited for anything in my life. I chose my own doctors. My mother never paid for a prescription -- it was fantastic.And I just got back from Vancouver, and I keep hearing, "Canadians are so nice -- Canadians are so nice." They can be nice because they have health care --

Definitely perfect for the role in “Dumb and Dumber “
Well, Carey...if Canada was so, f**king great, why did you choose to come to America for your life, and career?
Why stop there? This is the party that admires Castro, Ho Chi Minh and Mao
Come all the way out the closet Democrat Party for Communism.
Is he still a Canadian citizen? Who cares what he thinks.
Just more Hollywood hypocrisy. Idiots and fools.
If socialism is so great, Hollywood should embrace it. Every SAG member, from the A-list stars of the highest grossing movies of the year to unemployed actor who didn’t work gets paid the same!
There isn’t as much money to be made in Canadian film and television, so he embraced capitalism.
I thought it was FAG and not SAG.
Hey, he’s a big commode-ian who’s made a fortune from a capitalistic country and has all his needs met. Now’s the time to start taking from the middle-class morons who have made him wealthy.
Are you going to share all your money Jim?
Your career is dead so just go away.wee
Take his wealth first. Then co to his beloved Canada.
They should also stop apologizing for loving Communists, despite the carnage.
More proof that most actors are just glorified waiters who caught a lucky break.
Never mind about the socialism Jim, what is tonight’s blue-plate special?
Being an actor Jim is a professional liar/performer. Will he offer to divide his wealth with the rest of us.
Ok Jim, you go first. Surrender all your possessions to the state.
Damn Jim, let’s go!
We shall now take away all your money except a subsistence existence stipend.
No mansions, no cool cars (and under your theory, no cool car makers so no loss there), just food and basic shelter.
C’mon Jim — let’s do it!
The guy is mentally ill.
