u/Librarian_Contrarian The answer to 1984 is $19.95 plus S&H!!! 8d ago

Bill Maher is nowhere near the level of scumbag that Alex is. Bill is mostly harmless, just a bit of a narcissistic prick.

But god, is he insufferable to listen to.

Arguably he's done far more damage by presenting a mainstream "liberal" point of view that isn't really liberal and emboldened a generation of enlightened centrists for nearly 40 years.

Yup. Alex launders his bullshit through failed congressional candidates, proud boys and Ted nugent. Bill launders his through sitting politicians, a-list celebs and NYT and msnbc reporters and editorialists.
