Probably, like on the Conservative side of the democrats. Probably in the traditional Conservative spectrum rather than the culture war Conservative archetype that exists currently.

Would be sensible for the Democrats to try and pick up more of those traditional conservatives tbh.

Bill Maher wants excuses to complain about the young people, and to stick his nose up at as many people as possible.

He also likes Marijuana, so that would make him a liberal.

He's a regular Democrat, basically a normal person, and the far left hates normal people even those on the Democratic side, which explains why he gets so much hate.

He's a basically an old school democrat except for the stance on drugs and crime. I don't see why people here freak out over him. He has liberal values, he just has no problem pointing out the BS that appears on the left sometimes, and apparently some democrats really don't like that.

To say he's conservative (in the USA spectrum of politics) is insane.

He always struck me as financially conservative but socially liberal.

Who knows what his actual affiliations are though. It could all be an act like Colbert.

Conservative but not Republican.

A classic conservative.

He's against increasing taxes on the rich, he's pro-private corporations ruling everything.

He's just also pro pot and gay people.
The only "liberal" position of his I know of is he supports France's healthcare system

^ I would disagree but I would say most Democrats are conservative.

This idea that Democrats are Liberal and Republicans are Conservative is a really weird lie Fox News came up with that people have just accepted.

Democrats are right wing, Republicas are nuts and don't have coherant stances

The only people that think Bill Mahar is a conservative are leftists that make politics their whole damn identity that felt personally victimized by Bill Mahar ragging on them.
This sceams projection.

What liberal views does Maher hold then?

As I said the only one I know if is Universial Healthcare defeats the shit the US does. Which is liberal but really should be a no brainer opinion.

Absolutely not. Hes a liberal, through and through, just not remotely progressive (at least by comparison to anybody who refers to themselves in that way). Conservatives would never actually identify with 90% of his positions. Hes just anti shit like identity politics, canceling, etc etc. So in other words he could be a sensible human being, if it werent for his utter disdain for ever being viewed as anything other than morally superior. Hes conceited beyond belief and a total asshole.

Come on, a man who made a whole movie about the absurdities of religion cannot ever be considered conservative, especially in America.

Not really pandering because he says what he believes. Him being a boomer who refuses to adapt to today's PC sensibilities and revisions is definitely true though.

So while he's typically spot on about Democrats and liberals, he's gotten more and more anti-SJW because progressives aren't the future he thinks are necessary.

Id consider him to be a classical liberal more than a modern day left wing nut job. He can see both sides when they make sense. But hes definitely a democrat.

the democratic party, by any reasonable metrics, is conservative. I don't care if Bill Maher is conservative "in the USA spectrum of politics" but he is absolutely conservative in the regular spectrum of politics.

No the Democrats in the 90's, big difference to today's Dems especially if you're talking about stuff like immigration and freedom of speech.
