 Bill Maher was asked about Andrew Yang's forward party in a recent overtime segment and like all of us He doesn't actually believe that this will be a successful endeavor However, he does think that this party could have a particular effect specifically on the Democratic Party, which he believes would be good What is he talking about here? Well, let's watch what he has to say in the following clip and when we come back I will explain to you why he's completely delusional Joe Biden is not a radical. I mean, he's not he's just not and he was put forward as a Democratic nominee Precisely because he bends into the radical he has been yes, and I think that's part of that's part of what's Been a problem from his president is that he's raised his expectations You could have it like a sensible middle party and it would then what what would happen is it would force the Democrats To go back to being the sensible middle part And they would because they would see that's where you know Biden I mean Biden reminds me of some Grandfather and when when AOC and the woke people come into his office and pretty he's just he just goes along He doesn't really understand it. It's like grandpa. Can we have money to go play fortnight? I don't even know where to begin with that one. Yes, Bill Maher is out of touch But we're not just witnessing somebody who is out of touch This is now bordering on delusional territory and I'm serious about that because to say that Biden caters to the whims of The left and bends to their needs It's so wrong. It's so demonstrably untrue that it might actually be borderline delusional Because that's just not happening. Who is it that wrote the mansion Schumer legislation? It's in the name It's not the Sanders Schumer legislation. It's not even the Warren Schumer legislation It is the mansion Schumer legislation Joe Biden is quite literally letting a modern-day coal baron whose family owns and her systems a coal company dictate the terms of climate policy Joe Manchin and Kirsten Sinema sabotaged Joe Biden's entire agenda And they were so desperate to get something accomplished with regard to climate change Just so they can tell the base that they're doing something that they told Joe Manchin Just to give us anything and we'll support it. And that's what happened Joe Manchin is proposing climate change legislation that has a lot of good provisions But it also has a lot of giveaways to the fossil fuel industry a lot of pork to his donors in the oil and gas Industry and we don't even know if that will go through because kirsten Sinema might tank it because there are Provisions within that legislation that increases taxes on corporations and the wealthy So when we're in this situation where The democratic party is caving to everything that Joe Manchin wants and he refuses to even call him out You still have the audacity to say that Biden is caving to the left How I mean, that's the question that we're all asking right when we watch him say that stuff How how is he caving to the left and we don't really know because Bill Maher never gives us a specific example But sam stein alluded to build back better being evidence that biden is caving to the left Which is absurd because build back better was biden's agenda It was incrementalist reforms that the progressive movement people like bernie sanders supported because it was all that we could get with a right-wing president like joe biden, but we didn't even get that because Biden caved to Manchin and senua he didn't fight them hard enough Now build back better it improves it includes good things right expanding medicare to include dental hearing vision universal pre-k But the left they wanted to go further they wanted healthcare to be free at the point of service They wanted medicare for all they wanted a lot more than what biden was offering But that was all that they could get so they supported it But even biden's moderate agenda was too far for individuals like joe manchin and kirsten sinema but yet you claim That it's the left who biden is uh bending to the left always gets what they want Well, if that were true, wouldn't it be the case that the left was enthusiastic about biden? Wouldn't it be the case that young people disproportionately left leaning individuals were enthusiastic about joe biden? I don't think anyone is satisfied with joe biden 75 of democratic party voters want someone else to run in 2024 So i just i don't know what bill marr is talking about to say that he's talking out of his ass would be too charitable Because what he's saying is complete nonsense So he says that um if you had a sensible middle party like the forward party It would force democrats to go back to being the sensible middle party How are they not already a middle party if you compare them to other parties around the world? They don't look like modern social democratic parties that you see in europe and scandinavia They look like right wing parties in europe and scandinavia. They look like the tories They look like more conservative parties because the democratic party is inherently conservative because they are a pro capitalist party We don't have a real alternative in the united states. They don't offer voters an anti-capitalist pro worker option So to pretend as if the left has any power at all is just a joke and you know um bill marr he used An analogy about biden being like a grandpa. He said biden reminds me of some grandfather and when aoc and the woke people Come in his office. He just goes along. He doesn't really understand it. Oh, okay. Is that is that the case? Well, there's actually um a situation like this in real life where aoc and the woke people Got a couple of seconds with joe biden and she shared this photograph to her timeline Where she says that she explained to him why student loan forgiveness is necessary Now perhaps in bill marr's alternate timeline This has happened where biden has cancelled all student debt But where we're all living the rest of us. He still hasn't done that back in april He said a decision on student loans was coming in weeks and now it's august 1st Then in july he announced again that a decision was coming in a few weeks Now perhaps this time we might actually hear something in a couple of weeks Because the due date for student loan repayments are coming up But i mean Is he gonna forgive all student loans as aoc requested? No, he already stated. He's not doing that. He won't even cancel 50 000 We don't even know if he's going to say that he's canceling 10 000 When he announces his plans in the coming weeks if he even does that odds are He'll just postpone student loan repayments until after the election kick the can down the road So what bill marr is saying even the analogy that he uses There's an example of that in real life and it hasn't Born out It's I can't help but laugh because bill marr isn't even living in reality anymore He says out of touch as qanon supporters like this might must be like liberal qanon for him It's not as deluded, but still it is an alternate form of reality It's just it's so untrue that you can't really respond to it With facts because somebody that far gone They just they're not going to listen to you the problem. Isn't that joe biden is too far left The problem is that he isn't left enough when joe biden was actually delivering for the american people He had a higher approval rating When they had the child tax credit giving money to families His approval rating was higher when he distributed checks his approval rating was higher and now Nobody satisfied with him. He hasn't even done the bare minimum. He said he'd fight for voting rights He hasn't done that This is something that all democrats agree on the left and the centers and the centrists rather in the democratic party I mean when it comes to roe nobody's happy with his handling of this He's not putting abortion clinics on federal land and this is an issue that unites the democratic party But biden still managed to fuck that up somehow I mean when it comes to student debt cancellation de-scheduling marijuana biden Has been mia when it comes to him mismanaging covet 19 starving afghanistan Using trump era immigration policies to deport immigrants cruelly. So how can you say that this man is caving to radicals? To say that you've got to be a fucking Dipshit and his show keeps getting renewed so the question is like who's watching this and enjoying it There's enough viewers obviously for hbo to keep renewing it So this caters to someone but which demographic is this appealing to i mean he shifted to the right So is it just all republicans do centrist democrats still enjoy this? Who is this for because it's it's delusional It's for delusional people at this point for him to say things just like that That's not to say that bill mar gets it wrong 100 of the time But I mean with the things that he said lately when he misses Jesus christ does he miss it's just he keeps Further embarrassing himself and I don't even know what to say But this isn't really surprising if you've been following bill mar as he gets gets more out of touch He continues to shift further and further into delusional territory and as he continues to do that Then i'm assuming the quality of his show will continue to degrade so Yeah, bill mar thinks that biden is caving to the left It feels like he's joking like it's so stupid If I just read that and I didn't know who said that quote I think it was a joke but bill mar is dead serious and that's just that's just laughable I Dreamed I saw my maternal grandmother.
