Bill Maher has sharply criticized the Democratic Party for its electoral defeat to President-elect Donald Trump, attributing the loss to a focus on 'woke' issues that alienate voters. Maher argues that Democrats have adopted an 'aggressively anti-common sense agenda' that prioritizes social issues like transgender rights over pressing economic concerns. He emphasizes that the party's failure to connect with voters on essential issues like jobs and security has led to losses in the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court. Maher also notes that Black and Hispanic Americans feel misrepresented by the party's progressive policies. Suggesting that Democrats need to engage with the broader electorate instead of focusing on divisive issues, Maher believes the party must reform its platform to regain voter trust.
