I gotta disagree with Bill here. Republicans have been awful for a long time, (Bill even jokes about this)

Long before "Cancel Culture" existed they were parroting the same shit with different names. Most republicans and right wingers can't even explain what "Woke" means. Either they go quiet or they bring up some random crazy shit someone somewhere did (IE, the Big tit Canadian lady) and say "We're against this"

I don't recall Biden or Warnock being for that, or Big Titted Canadian Ladies being part of their mandate.

It comes across to me as "I'm not willing to write off half the population, so I'm just gonna pick something I dislike and blame that." rather than "I don't want to admit a lot of the population is aggressively stupid or uncaring."

Anyone who has worked in retail or customer service or a call center can back up how foolish and crazy the average person can be. They will and do absolutely believe anything Fox News or crazy right wing personalites scream at them.

Democrats could stop being "woke" tomorrow whatever the hell that even means and it would have no effect in the elections. Republicans would just pick a different culture war talking point.

What are the woke policies that those in Democratic leadership are proposing.
No one ever gives an answer to this

Bill Maher is speaking from the perspective of those deplorables.

He is saying "I know how the deplorables think when they see 'wokeness'."

We should ask ourselves why.

The Republican policy is to probably cut social security, medicare, etc. They truly are the party of the working man.

But wait, Sally the barista, that has no political power, said something that's too progressive? She wants a union!? That obviously means the Democratic leadership is controlled by the woke cabal!!

No one is going to answer the wokeness question because they can't. I tried to figure out the same thing with "critical race theory" with some Republicans a few weeks ago. I asked what it was exactly and it was "too difficult to explain".

He's saying "Bill isn't agreeing with it, he's just explaining how Republican voters feel."

Which isn't relevant to anything anyone in the topic has said. Especially considering he's probably wrong

True. Case in point: Hilary. Democrats put forth the one person in the country who could possibly lose to Trump. They dont realize that they have to be likable. They think they can just be like: oh that person is a Republican, better Pokmon go to the polls and vote for me!

Sorry, it doesnt work that way. You actually have to try.

Politically I feel like the left is fractured into a number of factions with differing but all equally valid views. Left encompasses socialists, environmentalists, feminists, etc. Etc. Etc. They are used to having to fight so hard for their own reason being left that even those who politically align similar to them can be seen as against them.

The right seems to have galvanized around the idea of "anything that isn't left", even if it is Hershel Walker. They look to Trumpers and "The Steal" people, Jan 6 rioters and kinda shrug and think, "Well at least they vote right so sure"

And if the left is more united they'll just say that the left is an echo chamber. If there aren't united, they'll say the left is eating itself

It your point is that people irresponsibly vote on culture war things, then yes I'll agree with you. Is it unwise due to the fact that the democratic politicians aren't actually trying to enact any culture war policies but yet because Joe the plumber thinks that voting for Walker will somehow make random people stop talking about "woke" stuff? Yes, it's very unwise.

Don Rickles who made harmless individual insults to people and not attacking entire groups?

Don Rickles who was infamous for being one of the most beloved and gregarious people in comedy?

Don Rickles who was teddy bear Bob Newhart's best friend?

While true, George Carlin also spent a great deal of time criticizing political correctness, feminists, guilty white liberals, and the bastardization of language to protect feelings. He'd likely be on Bill Maher's side on these issues
