MANHATTAN, NEW YORK CITY: In a recent monologue, Bill Maher delivered a strong critique of the contemporary Democratic politics, accusing the party of being still stuck in outmoded ways of thinking. 

He said, "Today's Democrats should move on from identity politics. It's not working. It's not working for them or for us."



 

Bill Maher exposes pitfalls of outdated political strategies

Highlighting the repercussions of clinging to outdated strategies, Maher pointed out, "Democrats are hemorrhaging the very voters they think they're pandering to the financial times."

"Democrats are going backwards faster with voters of color than any other demographic," he added.

He then observed, "A less racially divided America is an America where people vote more based on their beliefs than their identity," underscoring the evolving nature of American society, where individuals increasingly prioritize ideological alignment.

"Far-left Liberals are living in an old Paradigm. Americans don't fit into into neat little boxes anymore," he added. 

Maher also noted, "Who has the number one country song right now? Beyoncé." Besides, he highlighted Lil Nas X's groundbreaking success in country music, despite being black and gay—a departure from the genre's traditional image.
