Comedian and television host Bill Maher took aim at the Democratic Party for what he called their “an aggressively anti-common sense program” which cost them the loss of the White House, the Senate and the House of Representatives earlier this month.

“I will conclude by saying: the reason I am so angry at the Democrats is because as a voter, the issues that were important to me were democracy and the environment and now it doesn’t matter. “There is no one to defend or defend them because you, with your aggressive anti-common sense agenda and your exclusionary attitude, you have ruined everything”, Maher said on his HBO show “Real Time with Bill Maher” Friday night.

“You lost everything: the House, the Senate, the White House, the Supreme Court and left us completely unprotected and ready to be raped,” he added.

The Democrats found themselves in a sort of circular firing squad, pointing the finger at who or what was responsible for their loss. Was it President Joe Biden’s refusal to withdraw from the race before midsummer? Or those who decided to put him out of the race, or what? Or Vice President Kamala Harris’s unwillingness or inability to explain all of her apparent flip-flops, such as on fracking, open borders and the war in Gaza?

“For some”, according to The Hill“The party’s woes revolve around ineffective messaging on table-top economic issues, like inflation, wages and the accelerating trend of wealth inequality. For others, the problem lies with the explosive debate over the war between Israel and Hamas. For still others, the issues are linked to the culture wars, including those over transgender rights.

Maher also accused Democrats of not connecting with voters. “The basis of Democratic campaigns has become, ‘We’re smart people, we know that from the start, no need to look into that,'” he said.

“Maybe take the clothes pins out of your nose and converse with the other half of the country. Stop yelling at people to buy into the program and instead make a program worth it,” Maher said.

In September, Maher predicted on his show that Trump would lose the election. “I just think he’s going to lose.” Just before saying that, Maher claimed he was right when he predicted during the last election that Trump wouldn’t leave the White House even if he lost the election.

He said: “I think this prediction is credible because I have been called a Trump alarmist for a very long time. They were wrong. I was right. He was not going to leave office,” Maher said, even though Trump left the right as planned in January 2021.
