Bill Maher sat for an interview with Jon Karl of ABC News this weekend and made it clear that he is not down with the DSA shift in the Democratic Party. He adamantly insisted that the DSA is pushing for communism, citing their own words and platform.
He also said that he does not accept the ‘intifada’ that they are also constantly pushing. He even indicated a willingness to vote for JD Vance in 2028 if this continues.
Maher came off as more informed than most people in our media and even than Democrats in elected office. He sees what is happening here.
This is the intifada clip:
JONATHAN KARL: And you pushed JD Vance on this and he did not…BILL MAHER: No, that’s what I love about those Republicans. The first thing I said to him was, “It’s so odd, isn’t it, that like I didn’t vote for you, and yet you guys come to the show, and take your beating like a man. The Democrats don’t come, and yet they got my vote.” It’s just odd, isn’t it.KARL: Yeah, why is that? So what is that all about? I mean, by the way, you get some Democrats.MAHER: Democrats are are cowardly. Yeah, they’re cowardly. Their party is being taken over now. By you know, every day I hear about a new, very radical. I feel very good about like 10 whenever years ago, like I did lose fans because you know I wasn’t going to go along with some of this crazy stuff on the left too. I didn’t change really on what I thought about the right, but just I can’t sit and just not notice stuff, which people seem to want to do because it’s all about my team or your team. But yeah, there’s some crazy stuff, you know. When we’re cheering for the Intifada, God, I’m out.
Maher knows communism when he sees it. Also, Karl tries to make Maher disagree by noting that Trump says the same regarding the DSA platform:
KARL: You told JD Vance you’re open. Your vote is up for grabs.MAHER: Yes, my vote is in play because it can’t be Trump running. So I’m not living in communist America. I mean I know that the talking point is that it’s not communism. It’s socialism.Okay, I’ve read the quotes from the DSA platform from their own mouths. Don’t tell me I’m not seeing what I am seeing. And DSA again, they they say things like you know takeover of key industries, government. That’s communism. You know there is a definition.KARL: By the way, Trump is saying that, too.MAHER: Of course, yes.KARL: And — and — and to a degree that we haven’t seen any other president, Democrat or Republican, do.MAHER: Great. That’s crazy, too.KARL: He’s got a piece of Intel and a piece of the AI company.MAHER: He treats everything like it’s a real estate deal, or or I don’t know, he’s an agent or something. He always 10% or 15%.KARL: So you want to see the Democrats win in the midterm.MAHER: Absolutely, and they will because it will still be a referendum on Trump.So I think the Democrats will do very well in the midterms. 2028 is a different story because by then this wing of the party, this new wing with all the energy, and it’s not just a few people anymore. I read every day, I read about a new person in some Colorado and Wisconsin, somebody who is saying some variation of not defund the police, abolish the police, no prisons, no police. Like, what world do they think we could possibly live in under these conditions? It’s just a level of nutty that I’m so glad that whenever it was, I was like, no, I’m not going along because this is where it ends.KARL: Could you see yourself voting for JD Vance?MAHER: Yes. I this is the Democratic side, yes.
I have to believe there are millions of liberals out there nodding along with Maher on this.
The DSA does not want to debate policy. They want to tear this country down and rebuild it as something else, and it’s scary.
