Have you ever looked at your own lack of success and instead of saying "this is the presidents fault" maybe looked at your situation and said "I have a low IQ and little motivation and lack skill and maybe these things are the cause of my problems"

Just wondered

You cannot kill something that was never alive in the first place.

Also it was the perfect scapegoat, so it will be around for a long time.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
Someone made a point that the reason conservatives win more is because they're always in lockstep and never admit fault (until its politically convenient, like how calling W garbage became okay when they could use the Iraq War to call Hillary bad) whereas liberals will attack their own

But I still refuse to believe people enjoy Bill Maher's lovely show

The Tea party primaried it's own party to kick out RINO's, at one point for the first time in history removing it's own house majority leader. The Republican party picked Trump who was probably the worse match up for Clinton, and almost completely handed over the presidency.

HRC is gearing up for 2020, and the Clinton machine still control the DNC which is STILL causing you to lose special election races. Whoever made that point is an idiot sycophant that is trying to explain away the failures of neoliberalism.

Mr. Maher said, “I’ve got to get to Nebraska more.”

Mr. Sasse replied: “You’re welcome. We’d love to have you work in the fields with us.”

Mr. Maher said: “Work in the fields? Senator, I’m a house friend of the family. No, it’s a joke.”

I question whether someone else of a different political persuasion would get away with it, though.

I also doubt use of the word "niggardly" in its appropriate context would go down well.

Sometimes there can be a bit of a double standard with these things but that doesn't mean we should all rush to censor and blacklist anyone who makes a bad off color joke on a late night show reguardless of political affiliation. Don't lower yourself to the PC outrage police because we all suffer when they get their way.

my dad is a stereotypical Very Serious Person who to this day believes that clinton's loss wasn't her fault. years ago he also sent me a bill maher book which I never read, because I thought maher was a loving moron even before I learned he's antivax. this "joke" he's made gives me a little bit of spiteful joy
