Bill Maher issued a sharp warning to Democratic leaders, stating that the party is on a path to failure if it refuses to confront what he describes as increasingly radical, anti-Israel views among younger progressives.
During a recent segment of his show, Maher criticized the Democratic Party for what he sees as silence in the face of extreme messaging, including support for militant groups and the promotion of slogans like “Globalize the Intifada.” He pointed to growing displays of Palestinian flags at rallies and the absence of American symbols as evidence of a deeper cultural and political shift that risks alienating mainstream voters.
Maher also referenced polling trends that show declining levels of patriotism among young Democrats, warning that the erosion of national pride could further divide the party and damage its broader appeal. He emphasized that standing against hate and affirming democratic values should not be politically negotiable.
Framing the issue as a critical moment for the party’s identity and future, Maher urged Democratic officials to draw a clear line between progressive activism and dangerous rhetoric that undermines the country’s principles and global alliances.
