| Lil' Big Man Bill Maher Talks Tuff, Rants For Ruff Boyz: They're not Soyboys! That's Bernie's "ARMY" of "bunch of badass motherf----rs who will get in the streets" |
| 2020-02-02 |
| [RealClearPolitics] HBO's "Real Time" host Bill Maher explains why he believes Bernie Sanders is an attractive candidate and questions if voting matters if we can't trust election returns. Maher said he often shifts between the more progressive candidates like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and candidates like Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar. "I don't think the Republicans anymore believe in democracy. I thought when Merrick Garland didn't get his hearing, I thought they can't subvert democracy more than that and Mitch McConnell said hold my beer," Maher said Friday night. "I'm just saying I don't know if voting matters," Maher told his panel. "I don't trust the returns with Russia, and hacking, and all of that. I have to say, it affects how I vote. I've been going back and forth about this, and we all do to a degree. Do we want the progressive? I like Bernie and Elizabeth Warren but I feel mostly or have said something like Pete or Amy Klobuchar could win more easily." "I'll tell you why Bernie Sanders is attractive to me now because he's the only Democrat, like Trump, has an army who when it gets to this other level, he's got a bunch of badass motherfuckers who will get in the streets," the host said. |

| #18 "I don't think the Republicans anymore believe in democracy." Republicans believe we are a Republic, not a Democracy, and Bill, have you seen the latest Project Veritas videos? I don't think the Bernie bros have ever believed in anything except stalinism |

| #17 They will go in the streets? Then they will die in the streets. All enemies, foreign and domestic. Revolutionaries? Shoot to kill. |

| #14 All just moaning. Trump will definitely get the Votes. And there are no enough thugs out there stupid enough to leave the basement and face Vets. It won't even come to the Vet getting out of his lounger. The Army can handle it...good drill practice. No worries. Just let them off the truck, issue them live ammo and patrol the streets. Bernie supporters nowhere. Round a few up and give them stiff sentences. Laugh at them in the local papers. Take Bernie aside and give his a tour of an "undisclosed" location. Problem solved. Bernie who? |

| #10 Ok then by all means DON'T vote. At this point my concern is when we cross the line of departure, like when is it truly open season and not some sissy soy boy false start. |

| #9 Wearing white hoods or black masks make no difference to fact that they are thugs that should be stamped out. When they turn violent they should be dealt with and the Antifa have long passed that point. |

| #8 I keep waiting for the first shots to be fired. The Democrats have become the party of open insurrection and revolution. I figure that any caliber that will bring down a deer will work on a person. I'm afraid we're close to finding out. |

| #7 "Brave" when they number more, or what we normal people would call sad bullies alternating between cry-bullying and real adult tantrums. |

| #6 Yeah, what ever. Can't wait for Bernie's Red Guard to meet real veterans. |

| #5 Who cares what Bill Maher thinks or says. Here's hoping you have one of those Dem 2016 election nights. |

| #4 Half of 'Bernie's Army' live with their parents and / or don't work; I'm having all sorts of trouble fearing such a crowd. |

| #2 Bad-faith little assholes, sure. But not brave or valiant or daring or dashing. Just deranged little twerps. |

| #1 He has sort of a point. I've spoken with several Bernie Bro's. They conveyed an unpleasant feeling I associate with the kind of men who would ride around on Trotsky's murder train, shooting unarmed peasants. So that kind of "badass." |
