If Democrats truly hope to regain power one day after November’s resounding losses, leftist comedian Bill Maher thinks they’re pursuing the goal in precisely the wrong way.
Citing a number of recent publicity stunts by attention-grabbing officials like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Cory Booker (D-NJ), the “Real Time” host released a flurry of scathing critiques during the latest broadcast of his HBO talk show.
As Breitbart reported:
As AOC and other rising stars on the left keep demanding attention, Maher isn’t the only one predicting tough times ahead for the party:“They’re going around the country…” he was then interrupted by a single person in the audience clapping, to which Maher joked, “There’s that same guy, I call him ‘the always wrong guy.’”
“But I feel like big crowds – again, these shiny objects that the Democrats chase — it’s not about the big crowds that come out to you when you’re talking at a festival or where ever they are — because I think Bernie showed up at Coachella, that must have been fun for the fans,” he continued.
“It’s who shows up on Election Day. And I just don’t see that’s the ticket.”
“I mean, Cory Booker… from my home state of New Jersey, made a speech for 25 hours! Again, just whacking each other off. This is just not what’s gonna get the job done.”

The New York Post also covered Maher’s recent commentary:DEMOCRATS HAVE LOST—AND MAY NEVER RECOVER
A new Gallup poll shows Democrats pushing further left—55% now identify as liberal—but their policies are driving voters away.
Americans are rejecting reckless spending, open borders, soft-on-crime policies, and the war on free speech. Meanwhile, Republicans are gaining among young voters, Hispanics, and Black Americans as inflation, high taxes, and economic decline hit working families the hardest.
With their base shrinking and key demographics shifting away, Democrats could be stuck in permanent minority status.
Their losing streak is just beginning.
And here’s a clip from the show:Ocasio-Cortez has seen a surge in recent Democratic primary polls, placing second to former Vice President Kamala Harris in one.
Prominent pollster Nate Silver said this week that she’s currently the most likely candidate to win the Democratic nomination in 2028, although Ocasio-Cortez has not indicated she’s running for president.
Earlier in the show, Maher pointed to the viral moment from an AOC-Sanders rally where anti-Israel protesters dropped a “Free Palestine” banner over the American flag and were ejected by police, prompting rallygoers to chant “Free Palestine” and halt Sanders’ speech.
“I kind of worry that that’s where the Democratic Party is, that this is their next stupid hill to die on,” Maher said. “So the chant of ‘Free Palestine,’ free from whom I would like to ask. Do they realize who is really the people who are enslaving the people of Palestine?”
“If those moronic people had any knowledge, they would say ‘Free Palestine from Hamas,’” Post columnist Douglas Murray responded to an agreeing Maher. “At the very least, they would do that.”
At another point in the show, Maher mocked Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer for her awkward moment last week where she tried to hide her face behind a folder while in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump.
