Bill Maher issued a stark warning to Democrats on his HBO show, arguing the party risks collapse if it continues to cater to its most radical elements. During a heated discussion, Maher criticized the party's 'identity crisis' and questioned whether Democrats still stand for core Western values. He singled out New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani as emblematic of the party's extreme fringe, citing Mamdani's Marxist views and refusal to condemn controversial slogans. Maher was joined by columnist James Kirchick, who accused Democratic leaders of cowardice for not denouncing Mamdani, and warned of deepening divisions within the party. Recent polling suggests a significant portion of voters support Mamdani's stance, underscoring the ideological rift facing Democrats.
