We've been seeing people like Bill Maher moving away from the Democratic Party.
But, in truth, they're not the ones moving. As Elon Musk would say, it's the party moving away from him and all the moderates or classical liberals, as the party embraces more and more radical policies and candidates.

But in an interview with ABC's Jon Karl, Maher wasn't holding back in calling out the Democratic Party and how radical they had become.
Liberal comedian Bill Maher says he’s “out” on the Democrat party:

"Democrats are cowardly, they're cowardly," he said. "Their party is being taken over now, by... every day I hear about a new, very radical...I can't sit and just not notice stuff,' he said. "There's some crazy stuff. When we're cheering for the intifada, I'm out.”
Maher noted how it wasn't even just "defund the police" anymore, it was "abolish the police." In what world would that work, he said, calling it "nutty," and noting it was no longer just a "few people."
Bill Maher exposes how the socialist wave inside the Democrat Party is no longer just a fringe movement.

Maher says every day he sees another candidate pushing what “nutty” policies...up to and including abolishing police and prisons.

He has indicated again that his vote was in play in 2028, and he told Vice President JD Vance his vote was in play (meaning he could vote for him or another Republican). Maher still has some TDS, but President Donald Trump wouldn't be running in 2028, as Maher noted.

Maher says he will refuse to support the Democrats if the party continues to go down the “communism” road.

“Yes, my vote is in play,” Maher exclaimed. "I’m not living in communist America."
“I mean, I know the talking point is that it’s not communism and socialism. Okay. I’ve read the quotes from the DSA platform, from their own mouths. Don’t tell me I’m not seeing what I am seeing! And DSA, again, they say things like, you know, take over of key industries, government. That’s communism.”
Good job, Democrats, you have a lifelong, loud Democrat now looking away from you because of how extreme you have become. But are they getting that? Are they getting that it's not just going to be him, but a lot of other people who aren't going to side with how manic the Democrats have become?
The answer right now is no. And so the answer of many of the voters is going to be "no" right back at the Democrats.
