In reply to the discussion: Anyone watch Maher Friday? [View all]Cha
(297,136 posts)23. Wow, Good on Maher!
Another great moment - guitarist Tom Morello used the "lesser of two evils" phrase to say both parties are bad. Maher called bullshit saying that "in Florida there are hundreds of thousands of people that did not get Medicaid because the governor is a Republican. If the governor was a Democrat they'd be getting health care and not dying." The differences in the two candidates "make differences in actual people's lives, especially the ones who you purport to be most for - the poor people."
Another highlight - Maher said Hillary won fair and square and that Sanders voters can't say it's "fair when you win and rigged when you lose."

Sounds like this Tom Morello is just full of the ol soundbytes and has no real clue.. exactly.. "comfortable life".

Bill has his ups and downs but he was on fire last night. Morello is an idiot.

I haven't watched Maher since he "felt the bern", but I may have to actually watch this one.

Calling anything the government provides "free" is immediately a mistake, and not exactly smart.
