But not this part, because I didn't say anything but that Bannon ran roughshod over Maher. Others said this stuff:
You say Maher got owned. You say it was pathetic. You say Maher was wrong to have him on because it 'legitimizes' him.
As long as we don't wait for someone to save us, but work to do it for each other, we could come out of this Nazi horror on the other side by first winning the presidency AND the Senate, the latter being the more important of the two. If we lose, we've got antifa, youth groups, unions, minority orgs and some law enforcement like courts people in the ACLU, SPLC, CREW and others. So we're not some likely outsider loser demographic.
Thank you for your post!

Why give him a platform to a national viewing audience? I lasted less than 2 mins of Bannon bullshit

Or you could see it this way -- he helps us know their influencers better. Better to know your enemy

Cable isn't subject to commercial TV ratings contests. HBO has over 500 million viewers in the U.S.

It makes Maher look petty. Having a fascist pos on. That got kicked out of Italy
