Both Maher and Jon Stewart Liebowitz have been doing this "okay maybe the left is going a bit too far" pressure release valve kind of thing as a tactic to steer back fleeing normies. They'd both still love to slit your throat for saying "Christ is king".

I think because Maher is a liberal and even him questioning things shows how far some are trying to shift things.

He barely ever shows up here.

And I think most people agree he's wrong on a ton of stuff. He's still better and more open minded on plenty than most leftists. Which is why he shows up sometimes. Although he's wrong on a lot, he's still more capable of clear thinking than most leftists.

I doubt you'll find anyone here worshipping Mahar. Everyone knows he's a retard. But, as I mentioned, he's still more likely to get things right than most of his ilk, and that is important to highlight. Pointing out the leftists when they break with the left is important. Just like Glenn Greenwald is valuable, or Jimmy Dore is actually quite often right on things that aren't economics or off-in-the-weeds conspiracy theories. Doesn't mean they're Our Guys (and Mahar is certainly the least Our Guy of the three mentioned), but it's still worth pointing out when they make some sense.

normie cons at td still want approvals from the leftists despite knowing they hate conservatives and want them dead, the once a year bill Maher says something based can be pointed as "see? see? Even one of your prominent liberals agree with our ideas!"

Right wingers can't resist the siren song of "See? Even my enemy agrees with me on this" because they don't understand leftists are immune to logic and persuasion and will just hit you with "rofl fuck off faggot" no matter what.
