"Bill Maher bashed both Democrats and Republicans during a CNN interview on Sunday, saying the GOP goes too far, even when it is correct on issues like illegal immigration, while Democrats are pushing revolutionaries like Zohran Mamdani in a country that is not asking for [a] revolution. Maher shared his issues with the two major parties during an interview on CNN's Fareed Zakaria GPS."
"The Real Time host started off by saying it would be so easy for President Donald Trump to score points with Americans on both sides of the aisle, if he would just stop with the excesses. Trump wasn't wrong about the border, or NATO needing to pay more, certain trade policies that needed to be fixed, and DEI initiatives being overdone, Maher said."
"One big problem, he said, is that socialists like Mamdani and Katie Wilson, the new mayor-elect in Seattle, are gaining traction. They just elected a socialist some would say communist mayor in New York City and I see now Seattle, just like they're calling her Mamdani West.' So you know, if we wind up with a situation where very blue cities all around the country have socialist leadership, but that's not where the country is in general, that's not good for the Democratic Party,"
Both major U.S. political parties are adopting stances that push voters away from the center. The Republican Party often advances policies with bipartisan appeal — tougher border enforcement, tougher NATO burden-sharing, trade fixes, and critiques of DEI — but pairs those positions with excesses and aggressive tactics that repel many voters. The Democratic Party is elevating socialist candidates in prominent cities, risking a message misaligned with broader national preferences. A focus on radical reinvention rather than common-sense solutions reduces the parties' ability to appeal to average Americans seeking practical fixes.
