Bill Maher Slams Dems for ‘Pandering’ to Minority Voters With ‘Identity Politics’: ‘It’s Not Working’
New York Post ^ | March 23, 2024 | Joseph A. Wulfsohn

“Real Time” host Bill Maher closed his show on Friday night scorching Democrats for “pandering” to minority groups for votes, telling them the time of relying on “identity politics” to win elections is over.

“I do give a s–t about who wins the next election. And outdated racial pandering is one reason Democrats lose elections,” Maher told viewers. “When Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi put on Kente cloth, I don’t think it earned them one vote for their powerful emotional ties to Ghana.”

“Here in California, we’re now segregating kidnapping. Really. California doesn’t just have AMBER alerts for missing children. We have “Ebony alerts” for Black children and “feather” alerts for Native American kids. What is that, you look for them by listening on the ground?” Maher pointed to statistics that show a “276%” increase in Americans who identify as multiracial and how “one in five” new newlyweds are in interracial marriages.

Democrats are making the mistake of trying to transition to their new base (illegals) while keeping their traditional voters (the ones mentioned here in the article) on the plantation at the same time. They can’t choose - they want it ALL.

40 years? Dems have been pandering for 50+ years. Sad thing, the groups that are on the receiving end of the pandering are too BLIND and DUMB to see it.

Generational Ignorance!!!

What do Dems have as a platform other than identity politics?

He will still vote straight Democrat come November, and tell his audiance to do the same.

So I ask you, why does anyone still even listen to him???

It’s not working. That’s why Maher is angry. He wishes it still worked.

Bill Maher likes to pretend he’s reasonable every once in a while. It’s part of his brand.

I listen to Maher's podcast from time to time when he has a guest on that I think I might like.

One thing about Maher is that he's absolutely terrified that Trump is going to win. That's why he's freaking out about anything that might cost Democrats votes in November.

It's funny when one of his guests doesn't share Maher's absolute terror. He gets even more bent out of shape!

“When Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi put on Kente cloth, I don’t think it earned them one vote for their powerful emotional ties to Ghana.”

I suspect a lot of black people were embarrassed by that pander...it's insulting. Down there with Biden's 'Ya all' would be in chains without me' crap.

Maher's right on this one.

The real story is Maher admits that the DemonicRats have been only pandering to minorities for the last forty years.

How do you catalogue those links? What metadata management system do you use?

They do the same with their Israel and Pali voters. They are trying to corral them all inside the democrat fence and the sheeple are enemies.

This is why their New World Odor isn’t going to work. They are going to try it by using fraud and manipulation, but it is going to be a disaster of epic-ness.

George Soros has reached out to the DNC and ordered them to tell CNN to fire Bill Maher. They don’t want to hear his drivel anymore.

You're right... that has been happeing. Not sure if Maher wa totally aware of all he was saying... but that IS what he was saying. Good catch Watcher...

Democrats were the people running the KKK and White Citizens Councils and believing 'blacks can do NO right' - then ran to the front of the civil right parade in the 60's proclaiming that 'blacks can do no wrong'.

Both positions - (that's blacks can't do no right' to 'blacks can do no wrong') are racist and exploitive positions. And democrats in both times milked those positions for their own benefit and to the detriment to the black community. ''
