Bill Maher's New Rules hurt but important [View all]

(I am having hard time posting complete posts, they just disappear so I do it in stages and subsequent editing)

A rich man who understands what “common man” wants: efficient shower heads and flushing one’s poop.

He hated TikTok and Crypto but now love them.

No tax on tips and first time R carried Nevada.

No regulations and Silicone Valley love him

Yes, he sends barbs Biden and Harris way but they were the ones who lost. But if you can just ignore these, there ae important ideas or 2026 and for 2028.

(This is not “bashing Democrats” but a serious look at what we should consider)

Do they interview many workers that rely on tips? In It to Win It Saturday #17

Funny, most of the interviews I see of restaurant workers nowadays are how tourism has cratered... W_HAMILTON Saturday #19

Sure, but that's now... after the election is over. It's what attracted people to vote for him that's the issue. In It to Win It Saturday #23

It was mostly black men that are jealous of black women JI7 Saturday #24

Re Harris' no tax on tips In It to Win It Saturday #26

It was mostly a non issue and an excuse to vote for a bigot JI7 Saturday #29

So all of the new 2024 Trump voters that swung for him would have done so anyway In It to Win It Saturday #30

A younger white man or charismatic non white man like Obama JI7 Saturday #31

Thank you for a clear explanation. We should keep these examples for future campaigns question everything Saturday #34

If he's going to list things about Trump, and he doesn't mention 'immigration', 'race', 'LGBT', 'abortion', or 'woke' muriel_volestrangler Saturday #8

+1. Maher is right that voters preferred trump to what we were offering. Until we accept that, we'll keep losing. Silent Type Saturday #9

Where does that lead to though? AZProgressive Saturday #11

Pretty much agree. However, too many GOPers vote by mail for trump to pull that off. And let's say he does, if Silent Type Saturday #12

Then Democrats have to find a better response to the Trump offerings. Feel Good Inc Saturday #15

Sure, but Nevedans didn't know what "no tax on tips" would look like In It to Win It Saturday #16

"No tax on tips" is easier to sell than trying to explain unintended consequences. Plus, VP Harris jumped on it too, Silent Type Saturday #21

Yes, exactly. I agree In It to Win It Saturday #22

Democrats did little to explain it. In fact, Harris also supported no tax on tips. Feel Good Inc Saturday #33

Trump is still offering everything he did before the election and yet he is already back to being hated. W_HAMILTON Saturday #20

Can't wait to not watch the clip. BannonsLiver Saturday #10
