had it's misogynistic parts, with certainly a few blasts at HRC, why
wasn't it banned from this site like comments made by myself and others?

Maher called Senator Warren "Pocahontas", and she was not amused. He
didn't even refer to her as Senator, which is a bit disrespectful.

And he laced into Hillary at a few points.

Just asking why this is given a bit more leeway.

:04 seconds into the video Maher introduces her as "Senator Elizabeth Warren".




I'm not sure why it wasn't banned- Should I delete the video?

Maher also said that he hopes Bernie Sanders runs in 2020.

I don't think so, it makes good points, but I have said a few similar things
which were dealt with pronto, that was really the point I was making. The
inconsistencies.

I think Sens. Warren and Sanders are trying to drag the party left, and now
HRC's reemergence is trying to hold the party to the political center. We
don't need this fight now, we need to concentrate on emptying the Oval
Office.

Picking Tim Kaine for VP proved she was not listening and was just gonna be more of the same bankster, lobbying wall street supporting president. Her progressive change was late so not believable. People wanted an outsider and that is why all the polls showed Bernie beating Trump by a much larger percentage than Hillary. Bill forgets these deplorables supporting Trump will never support a democrat and he leaves out Cross Check which handed the election to Trump and the republicans downstream. Voter rolls were purged, gerrymandering, Comey. and Wikileaks yet she still managed to win the popular vote. The dem platform is as progressive as it can get and needs FDR types like Warren and Sanders and get rid of the DLC focus and get the DNC to support the dem platform. Love ya Bill but your bit about flipping Trump supporters is just way off and wrong.
