He's old. Older even than I. He has internalized the Dem establishment's "not in the face!" cowardice. His ideal world is a Clinton 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th term where we get rid of the immigrant cages and mandatory ultrasounds but inequality keeps skyrocketing because, after all, he "earned" it.
To a lot of people sadly this is true. If the media didnt completely suck at all things they could change this but they wont for various reasons we have discussed in the past.
I mean considering Maher was the first to push Bernie or Warren in any real capacity (going back years) it isnt like he doesnt want her to win.

That is mostly untrue. He liked Bill Clinton in the 1990s but he never supported Hillary Clinton at all. (even in 2008) He wants Socialists that is why he pushed Bernie to run going back to 2008. He is farther left than most on the environment as well. I think you need to spend less time reading what Kos says about him and actually research where he is at on most of the issues. Hell he wants a higher tax rate than I think Warren does. (or has in the past)
The guy is dense but he is hardly a centrist. He was exposing the GOP for what they were long before anyone and was saying not to negotiate with terrorists.

But like most old liberals he lacks the courage of his convictions. Reagan really left a mark. It taught people of a certain age (mine) that the populace would always be fooled by a smooth talking, smiling simpleton who offered "free stuff" (tax cuts -- never you mind how we'll pay for them!) and who would burn the poors alive as long as they were a different color.
That was the Boomers' world: a world of selfishness, self-indulgence, self-absorption. But now the Boomers are dying and from what I've seen of the youngins they will shovel our selfishness into our graves along with us. They will bury us, thank god.

I've been watching him every week for 20 years across his shows; have you? Maybe if you stopped making inane assumptions about other people you wouldn't make such a fool of yourself.
I'm not saying he's not a liberal -- my whole point is he is. I'm saying that he is a liberal, and he does want liberal policies, but he is too afraid to go for it now that it's here.

He's Nancy Pelosi with better t-ts.
Going back to when it was on Comedy Central. And even then he was pushing Lefty candidates even though he tried to make the show more funny than anything.
He is not a politician, he doesnt need to have "courage of his convictions" He gives all the candidates a forum if they want it. Notice it is Centrists like Hillary and Obama who never really spent time on his show...it is usually the Lefties who need the forum. Not many Clinton 5th termers would be asking Bernie to win or donating to their campaign pre-Trump and you know it. Not many would be begging for the regulations Warren wants to put in. (not many would let Zack Galif...Galifanotgonnaworkhereanymore smoke pot on the air either) A Clinton 5th termer wouldnt spend the majority of their time fighting for the environment, PETA or railing on the Center.
The dude is dense, and a pain to watch sometimes cause he often gets tunnel vision and interrupts everyone like he is their wife or something. He is a comedian. His convictions are to get laughs first and then espouse his ideas. His ideas are closer to you than you want to admit.
And I will stop making assumptions about you when you do the same.

I think his ideas on most things are very similar to mine. He seems pretty f-cked up on #metoo, though. Enough that I assume he's eventually going to get popped.
But his schtick is speaking the unacknowledged truth in the room. He does understand for instance that there is no way to negotiate with the Nazis. They're insane and they're not going to help. The only way to work with them is to pare down their numbers to where they're easy to scoop up and shunt through the exhaust vent.
But he's old so he still lives in 1980s America where you have to pretend to believe in Reagan's rhetoric because all the voters do. That's not true anymore -- the only people who believe government is a bigger threat than the rich after the last 40 years of evidence are irredeemably brainwashed Republicans. So we don't have to pay any attenion to that claptrap anymore.
The bad thing about all the dummies being on the Right now is there are a lot of them.
The good thing about all the dummies being on the Right now is we don't have to pretend to be dummies any more to appease them.

I'm going to start by saying Warren is probably my preferred candidate. However, I think Trump is the only reason she would even have the chance in the general. Up against a different Republican candidate (say a Mitt Romney) she would get destroyed.
Her policies poll well in the ~35% of Americans that identify as Democrat, not so much across the whole electorate. The majority of Democrats support Medicare for all, the majority of voters do not.
You guys need to stop equating a Dem primary with a blood feud. If the Dem electorate isn't as left as my preferred candidate (Warren) then so be it. Whoever we get in that case (I'd say Biden/Harris/Buttigieg aren't quite as liberal as her) will be aligned with Lizzy on like 95% of policy anyway and that's good enough for me.
All this socialist revolution is good but it needs to win, not just fight the good fight and stay pure to its principles. If you aren't elected you're SOL.
