I am Brazilian and live in São Paulo. Love watching both of you. Voting in Brazil is a right but it is also mandatory. Elections are always on Sundays and public transportation runs for free. Over 150 million Brazilians voted this last time. We have an amazing digital voting machine. It’s a computer, it’s not connected to the internet and is safe. Once the ballot rooms are closed, you have the results of each room right away. I follow American elections and can not believe your system lol. Bolsonaro is out!!!! For now, at least.
Most of the congressional races in the Eastern Time Zone in the US were known by midnight. I'm writing this around 24 hours after the first polls closed in the US, and for the Senate, 2 or 3 out of 35 races are uncalled (I'm not counting the georgia Senate race, cause we offically will be having a runoff election next month). 390 of the 435 House races have been called by the Assiciated Press. So it's not a big deal, and it doesn't warrant a general response of "I dont know what's going on in that country!"
In Australia we vote on the weekend. In and out in 10 minutes. We also have an independent electoral body, so there's no voter suppression or having the people in power set electoral boundaries. I've always been baffled by US elections.
If people go to the polling places to place their vote in person, sometimes lines are hours and hours long. I’ve never experienced that in my area, but I’ve seen video and heard that it can be an all-day process in more populated area. How do employers expect their employees to work a full 8-hour shift AND cast their vote during the hours that polling places are open. I do a paper ballot, but I know there are a lot of people who have been indoctrinated from right-wing radicals and Fox News-type media to believe that mail in ballots aren’t reliable. I trust the process, but others have given in to the conspiracy.
Voter suppression, sigh... Republicans: get an ID to Vote. Democrats: That's Voter SUPPRESSSSSIIIOOONNNN! Best actual response: get a fuckin' ID and BEAT them at their own game. Don't come back with gerrymandering - both sides do it to ridiculous lengths. Don't come back with; you can't give water on voting line.

In Germany elections always happen on Sundays, because on Sundays work is suspended for most citizens. Every Sunday is basically like a national holiday 😄
UK doesn't have a day off to vote but has never taken me more than 15 minutes to vote, even voting in busy London district. You don't need a day off but more places to vote on election Day. The world can't understand needing to wait 8 hours plus to vote
We vote on Saturdays….in Australia and we know who’s won by that night as well…even with the poles closing at 6 pm on the east coast and 3 hours later on the west coast!
Germany, Sunday vote ending 18:00 and by 22:00 it's usually decided. That's more than 80 Million people. The US population is just about 4 times more...
Why we don't get election results same day: R legislatures in certain states passed laws saying mail in votes can't even be OPENED, let alone counted, before election day. Here in Colorado, where we are almost entirely vote by mail, votes get counted as soon as your returned ballot is received so that results can be released on election day. All states COULD do this.
I also don't think it's a coincidence that CO is one of the few states with an independent election commission regarding state legislature seats, and that actually OVER-represents Democrats in the state House (usually it's in the other direction, BIG time). I think Republicans rely on these shady election tactics to give the impression that a lot of elections are closer than they actually are
They don't want to give voters the chance to put make changes to their mail in ballots like hand written date on envelope in Pennsylvania even though all envelopes are date stamped by election office as received and have post office mark ( supreme court requirenent to discard some mail in ballots).

Last election in New Zealand there was a six week election campaign , by six o'clock on election day everyone knew who had won .

The election in Brazil gets results quickly because they use an american technology from Unisys, a Fortune 500 company that develops a very safe and secure system. Also elections in Brazil are controled by a Judiciary branch with federal rules and not state rules so they have one system working for the entire country. In the US each state have it's own system.
Canada does the same thing. When elections are called they can be over in six weeks from beginning to end. Results that night as yes, we actually pick up a pencil and mark the paper as to who we want to elect. Nothing fancy, but it works.
In the last provincial election we had in Ontario voting took me 15 minutes to complete and that's including the time it took for me to drive there and back home
To be fair, Canada don't have bunch of elections jumbled together in one ballot. Other is we have Elections Canada that oversee everything so no shanigans can be pulled by any one party compared to the US where state offices runs elections that they themselves are on the ballot for.
Here in Australia we have all our elections on a Saturday, voting is compulsory and we have bbqs at polling places so you can get a democracy sausage sanga.

I mean, we have a lot of problems. The Electoral College is an abomination reminiscent of slaveowner days (it just is, it gives white voters in Wyoming infinitely more power than voters in states like California, for instance), the fact that we don't make election days federal holidays shows that our country is deeply subservient to the minoritarian conservatives, and the fact that redneck sheriff militias are able to patrol our polling sites show that we've sunk pretty far into fascism already. Calling that out definitely doesn't make you a bad American.
Unless you mean that, as Democrats, we haven't gotten our "asses kicked" by the GOP. In that case you're completely right - Dems over-performed tonight by basically any measure. The myths pushed by the right-wing media that conservatives are America's "silent majority" are utter nonsense.
You spelled "thoughtless" wrong. He spends half the time equating minute issues on the left with the absolute insanity on the other side as if there's any moral equivalency. And this election was yet another thing he was dead wrong about.

He is a political junky who's views are somewhat leaning to the left of the Right (conservative) party, but his 30 year crusade for legalization of pot won him a lot of fans.
Are you sure it didn't? Most of the problem with the election deniers getting into power aren't in the races anyone's actually talking about - secretary of state, etc. I saw an article last night that said they were projecting at least some election deniers were going to win those races, and that could cause exactly the problem Bill is warning about next election.
@@gorak9000 I would have to check to see who won all of those races but I assume most are in red states anyway. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin all went blue for governor so at least we know those swing states will do the right thing. The other thing is that even Republicans feel deflated and know that the extremist wing of the party is not to their benefit anymore.
Remember the republicans aren't going to do things that make sense or make it easier to vote, just the opposite. Also they will never get rid of the electoral college. Their attitude is the less people who vote the more likely they are to win. The electoral college has won repubs 2 elections.
And before I kick the bucket I’d like to see a different political party win for a change other than a blue or red party! Some countries have many more p-parties than the good old USA.

In Australia we have an independent body (Australian Electoral Commission) who runs all local, state and federal elections. We usually go to bed on election night knowing who won. No one’s ever insisted the election was rigged. It’s very simple, really. I’ve volunteered as an election official at several elections and it’s a very smooth process.
it's got nothing to do with competence and everything to do with the law. simply put, it is the law in some states that mail ballots must be counted if they are postmarked by election day. those ballots will not be received on election day, so you have to wait a couple days for them.

I wear a mask at work everyday I'm the only one. Why??? Because all the sick people coughing around me don't and I have health issues and don't want to get sick.
Yeah mask won't save *you* necessarily....the idea is when a sick person wears mask, the chances of him spreading his sickness reduces greatly, as the mask will absorb/block the range of the cough/sneeze which otherwise could linger in the air for hours and infect other people....N95 etc masks do block germs but they should not be worn for long periods of time and need constant disposal/filter-change..
I guess your many vaccine shots did not work? and guess what you can inhale the virus through the mask, it only protects others from the spray when you cough. If you can smell through the mask, virus also go through.

In Australia election results are usually on the same night by a few hours, and that's with compulsory voting and a ranked choice preferential voting system - which is far more complicated than the US system.

UK doesn't have a day off to vote but has never taken me more than 15 minutes to vote, even voting in busy London district. You don't need a day off but more places to vote on election Day. The world can't understand needing to wait 8 hours plus to vote
We vote on Saturdays….in Australia and we know who’s won by that night as well…even with the poles closing at 6 pm on the east coast and 3 hours later on the west coast!
Because in a village of 12,000 people (knowle) there are 7 places to vote and they all contain multiple voting booths
Germany, Sunday vote ending 18:00 and by 22:00 it's usually decided. That's more than 80 Million people. The US population is just about 4 times more...
US polling stations are run by volunteers, and there arnt enough of them
Right across the border in Canada … never ever have waited more than 10 mins … ONLY in America is democracy (right to vote) treated so poorly
So glad they put the whole interview in one clip
Why we don't get election results same day: R legislatures in certain states passed laws saying mail in votes can't even be OPENED, let alone counted, before election day.
Here in Colorado, where we are almost entirely vote by mail, votes get counted as soon as your returned ballot is received so that results can be released on election day.
All states COULD do this.
I also don't think it's a coincidence that CO is one of the few states with an independent election commission regarding state legislature seats, and that actually OVER-represents Democrats in the state House (usually it's in the other direction, BIG time). I think Republicans rely on these shady election tactics to give the impression that a lot of elections are closer than they actually are
I know. It's ridiculous. They should be counted as they come in. Like your state.
Yea but youre elections are not conducted well and there are lots of problems with mail in. You probably know this.
They don't want to give voters the chance to put make changes to their mail in ballots like hand written date on envelope in Pennsylvania even though all envelopes are date stamped by election office as received and have post office mark ( supreme court requirenent to discard some mail in ballots).
Yes we all should be like that, just like when I was in the military, we voted by mail 🇺🇲
I don't always agree with him on issues, but I always agree with his basic philosophy... that we're doomed unless we can talk to each other about them.
I disagree. That's why we have votes. We are screwed if morons don't care about human rights. We are screwed if majority of voters listen to liars that claim large scale election frauds instead of Supreme court that called it false. The Dems are silent majority. Republicans tend to change the topic when proven wrong.

There is zero chance that talking to these cult members will yield any beneficial results. And meeting them in the middle would be insanity.

The mask are incredibly helpful in reducing the transmission of the virus. I understand the situation was confusing with the masks and the “recommendations” changing so often but we as healthcare providers were relying on the results of people wearing masks. Just saying.
Last election in New Zealand there was a six week election campaign , by six o'clock on election day everyone knew who had won . There were a few seats decided on mail ins and absentee votes , but essentially it was all over bar the shouting and everybody went back to business as usual , nobody went ballistic , nobody died , there was no angry mob ... done , dusted , see you in three years .

The election in Brazil gets results quickly because they use an american technology from Unisys, a Fortune 500 company that develops a very safe and secure system. Also elections in Brazil are controled by a Judiciary branch with federal rules and not state rules so they have one system working for the entire country. In the US each state have it's own system.

It's so nice to hear that Bill Maher's cynical projections were inacurrate.
Canada does the same thing. When elections are called they can be over in six weeks from beginning to end. Results that night as yes, we actually pick up a pencil and mark the paper as to who we want to elect. Nothing fancy, but it works.
In the last provincial election we had in Ontario voting took me 15 minutes to complete and that's including the time it took for me to drive there and back home
And no confusing ballot measures or voting for state officers.
They are hired or appointed. Less likely to be agenda driven by Right or Left.
And no standing in line for hours because there are enough polling stations.
The best thing is that all provinces run their elections by the same rules, and no one with guns watching us vote, just our neighbors.
To be fair, Canada don't have bunch of elections jumbled together in one ballot.
Other is we have Elections Canada that oversee everything so no shanigans can be pulled by any one party compared to the US where state offices runs elections that they themselves are on the ballot for.

It might make a difference if you actually tried to increase voter participation, rather than suppress it.
In my country, voting is mandatory, and everyone 18 and older is automatically registered to vote. We all have national ID cards, you bring that and your ‘invitation to vote’ to the polls. You never have to wait more than 15 mins to vote.

This is why we need UNIFORM FEDERAL standards for how states conduct elections because right now, every state does elections differently.
We have standards in the Constitution. The state legislature decides the voting process as it should be. People who want America to be ruled by a small city of special interest needs to be deported as they are incompatible with our Constitutional Republic.

He was born a sore loser. He reminds me of Benjamin Button.
I wonder if we will get an apology/concession speech on Friday ?
Never let the truth get in the way of a smug, out-of-touch, “edgy” hot take.
I mean, we have a lot of problems. The Electoral College is an abomination reminiscent of slaveowner days (it just is, it gives white voters in Wyoming infinitely more power than voters in states like California, for instance), the fact that we don't make election days federal holidays shows that our country is deeply subservient to the minoritarian conservatives, and the fact that redneck sheriff militias are able to patrol our polling sites show that we've sunk pretty far into fascism already. Calling that out definitely doesn't make you a bad American.
Unless you mean that, as Democrats, we haven't gotten our "asses kicked" by the GOP. In that case you're completely right - Dems over-performed tonight by basically any measure. The myths pushed by the right-wing media that conservatives are America's "silent majority" are utter nonsense.
I like Bill Maher I think he does comedy in a very cynical way, but also mixes politics with celebrities and he does it swiftly.
@Mike Dunning to you.
Great interview! Maher has a history of hosting thought filled shows.
You spelled "thoughtless" wrong.
He spends half the time equating minute issues on the left with the absolute insanity on the other side as if there's any moral equivalency.
And this election was yet another thing he was dead wrong about.
@@neorock6135 No, I had it right. Try not to let the hate blur your vision.
FYI everyone...
Bill is always HIGH on his shows on TV and on his shows in COMEDY CLUBS across the country.
His humour can be either brilliant OR UTTERLY childish. He is a political junky who's views are somewhat leaning to the left of the Right (conservative) party, but his 30 year crusade for legalization of pot won him a lot of fans.
Turns out Bill's doom and gloom didnt come to pass, thankfully.
Are you sure it didn't? Most of the problem with the election deniers getting into power aren't in the races anyone's actually talking about - secretary of state, etc. I saw an article last night that said they were projecting at least some election deniers were going to win those races, and that could cause exactly the problem Bill is warning about next election.
@@gorak9000 I would have to check to see who won all of those races but I assume most are in red states anyway. Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin all went blue for governor so at least we know those swing states will do the right thing. The other thing is that even Republicans feel deflated and know that the extremist wing of the party is not to their benefit anymore.
Yes, national voting day off and more freaking places to vote.
Remember the republicans aren't going to do things that make sense or make it easier to vote, just the opposite. Also they will never get rid of the electoral college. Their attitude is the less people who vote the more likely they are to win. The electoral college has won repubs 2 elections.
Republicans took control and eliminated polling places. Move some to make it harder for black communities to get too.
I agree like all of those giant stadiums we the people pay for so billionaires can make even more money should be open on voting day.
And before I kick the bucket I’d like to see a different political party win for a change other than a blue or red party! Some countries have many more p-parties than the good old USA.
Yes because a whole month long is not enough
I love bill he's always on point

Thank god bc Bill has an unhealthy idea about masks & wants to push the issue anytime he’s in front of a microphone 😳🤬
In Australia we have an independent body (Australian Electoral Commission) who runs all local, state and federal elections. We usually go to bed on election night knowing who won. No one’s ever insisted the election was rigged. It’s very simple, really. I’ve volunteered as an election official at several elections and it’s a very smooth process.
We never had a problem until hat nut Trump was elected and he ran again saying it was rigged.
it's got nothing to do with competence and everything to do with the law. simply put, it is the law in some states that mail ballots must be counted if they are postmarked by election day. those ballots will not be received on election day, so you have to wait a couple days for them.

Exactly! You hit the nail on the head . In addition, we don’t know why anyone else may be wearing a mask, don’t make it political or paranoia. It could be they are compromised or care for someone at home that is compromised or they have a cold or any of a 100 other reasonable reasons.

I agree. The last time I had a cold was before Covid. I used to get them at least twice a year.
Bill, we have early voting, remember? And they can’t open the ballots or count the votes until November 8. That’s why it takes longer. Please don’t compare Brazil with our voting practices. 😂

I'm near sure, Bill would have zero issue with that. It's not where his criticism has been focused on though.
Exercising your right ! Good on everyone.
Yeah mask won't save *you* necessarily....the idea is when a sick person wears mask, the chances of him spreading his sickness reduces greatly, as the mask will absorb/block the range of the cough/sneeze which otherwise could linger in the air for hours and infect other people....N95 etc masks do block germs but they should not be worn for long periods of time and need constant disposal/filter-change..
I guess your many vaccine shots did not work? and guess what you can inhale the virus through the mask, it only protects others from the spray when you cough. If you can smell through the mask, virus also go through.

Wow. "Cold Civil War". He hit the nail on the head with that one.
Only amongst the clickbait online media and all the brainless, brainwashed fools who consume their bullshit uncritically & believe everything they say. The vast majority of people don't care about all these fake issues. They care about real issues that affect them directly - work, wages, taxes, housing, health care, education.
Guillermo would be a great guest in Club Random!!
Yes, you can hate people who enable a traitor.
I think the principle and the personal challenge is to hate what they do, not them. But yeah, that's hard to do (very hard!). What they do violates every value and principle that I hold.
I hate Trump as much as the next guy, but I do believe you should at least try to understand why people who voted for him did so in the first place. Understanding is important but you can only achieve that through talking to people.
@@clayman1980 Try to understand? As if they haven't been asked thousands of times already. If they are still so ignorant about what Trump has done then I will at some level consider them enemies of progress and democracy.
This is the kind of guest celebrity you would watch anytime. Plainly speaks his minds and talks facts
The massive red wave turned out to be a red hershey squirt.
Republicans winning the house and probably the senate is still a win.
Unfortunately enough to win though…😔
Bill, I got COVID the first time I went to a show unmasked. It’s not fun.
Amen! Never got it (except maybe Feb. 2020) cos I mask (knock wood) but have relatives who did (one high risk). Take care of yourself!
I'm disgusted that rvw was overturned and people still can't step up.
It's been months. I think most ppl have accepted it by now and integrated RVW being gone into their lives.
This is the main reason why Repugnants wipe the floor with the Dems. Democrats refuse to do anything that could be seen as controversial, while Republicans just do it, spit in your eye, and then start screaming their heads off about other things until people forget that unbelievable thing they did.
This very tactic cost the Dems 2 supreme Court justices and a presidency in Bush v Gore
What can we do?
@@whatsupinspace854I agree and hate it. As a woman, I'm angry.
@@heileens elect Democrats who serve the people and not their campaign financers. Elect Dems who are not afraid to be seen as angry when it's justified. Elect Dems who don't give up at any opportunity. Josh Shapiro may be a good start to that.
Or, do what Bannon tells the crazies on his radio show every day. Enter politics yourself. Get elected for something. Anything. And fight.
I love them both! ❤️
Kid Rock is the truck nuts of the music industry.
No... he IS the dangling nut sack.
@Savior Money just like truck nuts, they are fake 😅
@Savior Money No, you just don't have any concept of nuts or music. I'm assuming you're a deaf eunuch, because if you are not a eunuch you're simply simple minded.

I LOVE THE WAY JIMMY REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING OTHER THAN KEEP IT REAL!

Just discovering Jimmy Kimmel…. He’s not afraid to tell it like it is!
very entertaining . Please have him back soon
Yeah, nearly 20 years after him working on the show, Jimmy casually asks the Mexican man if he knows Portuguese. Good job.
I think it might have been to give him a bit of time on screen.
"The Mexican man" I mean you may think what jimmy dude was rude you literally just ignored the fact he has a name and referred to him as his ethnicity. Try not to hurt yourself when you get off your high horse.
He had to work that candy suit into the show somehow
Portuguese is very similar to Spanish so it’s not out of the question “the Mexican man” might have an idea of how to translate it.
@@Noodles1771 He didn't ask though. He assumed then backtracked. That's called profiling, when you assume something based on immutable characteristics.
We can vote by mail thank goodness. Trump tried to shut down postal service! 💜🙏💜
Really do not care for Bill Maher. Really do not like his political opinions
the left hate him, and the right hate him. i like him.
Bill is the guy you hate to like. I have so many conflicting views with the guy but I also agree with a lot of the others.
Lol the left accuses him of being right wing and the right accuses him of being left wing, infact he thinks you are both crazy, and you both have some points, but no he has to lean completely to one side because otherwise your feelings get hurt.
Turns out Saving Democracy and Roe were the 2 big motivators for turnout. Wonder how Friday night will go
Bill was wrong about the midterms for sure
Loved Politically Incorrect
Two of my favorite smart/funny guys...on the planet.❤😁
Pot just doesn't taste the same unless it's been steeping in nervous nut sweat for 40 minutes.
He almost said he hid it there "to get through security" but he realized that he might be admitting to a crime on TV. So he just stopped talking lmao
Truer words were never spoken.
Oh. Ok. Thanks.
Ah yes... good ol nut nugs!
Democrats, I let our Donkey Party supporters vote twice, once by mail and once at the polling place, and as long as there is no oversight, we won't let voters know what my Donkey Party does
In Sweden, we also have election day on sundays, because most people have a day off. Usually it takes about ten minutes to vote, this year a little longer with a change in the procedure. You can vote in advance if you want. We get the results most of the time the same evening, but if it’s small margins the next day.
Just not a little bit longer in many places. They have to correct that… it was the first time I felt a crack in the swedish voting system.
Love these guys
We can now look forward to the hilarious (but probably insightful) podcast episode of Bill Maher starring Mike Lindell in the future.
looking forward to that.
Watching Bill become frustrated with the fact that Mike never shuts up unless you make him, because he can't answer a question without a preamble in which he ever seems to get to the point.
He will never have that idiot on. He just had Kris Jenner on the podcast and she was stuck in her TV persona… It sucked.

Bill Maher is a conservative grifter and this should upset everyone (including Bill Maher)
I can watch Bill daily.. "its great being high and doing what we do" how cool is that.
This guy gives up way too much boomer energy. Old man yelling on the lawn. Like his opinion weighs more than most...
But, to each his own. I will pass
Exactly, he's only pandering to the right, because the left always hurt his conservative feelings on social media and most old men,especially rich ones are usually stuck on the past , like most Republicans..
Yes. But weekly trying to say, "I'm still cool cuz I smoke weed." Not a show he doesn't work it into.
All staff/workers/etc wearing a mask sounds great. Be casual and carefree on your own time. There's enough diseases regularly going around even without any pandemic. And we know in America people rarely take time off when they're sick.
Stay afraid!
@@andersandersen6295 Afraid of what? A little mask?
In the early 2000s, I remember seeing videos from Asian countries, every other person wearing a mask. Then, I was in a Prompt Care here in the states, with a sign that said that anyone coughing or with a runny nose, had to wear a mask. It makes sense! Greater than zero precaution against others getting sick (regardless of sickness). But I understand that American see that as some kind of abridgement of their "freedoms".
@@bivensrk Let me educate you on masks, if you can smell through them, virus can also penetrate, a mask only protects from mucus and saliva getting sprayed, and we would all have to wear masks all the time in all situations to avoid that kind of contact, and any kind of being forced to wear something is by default just forct and a attack on free will. You do you and i do me!
@@andersandersen6295 So, you're "educating" me. Does that mean you have specialized training of some kind that you're imparting? Also, yes, many folks are wearing the cheap surgical masks or cloth ones. Those are (mostly) garbage (as has been pointed out). Flip side, I was wearing a mask with a tight seal on it, whose outside was coated in activated charcoal, and working under my car, spraying PB Blaster on different bolts, to break them up. I can say that while my wife complained about being able to spell the spray from 20 feet away, I couldn't smell it inches from my face. So, yes, the *right* mask CAN be effective in terms of smell.
However, I also understand that everyone is the only person in the known universe and screams freedom when it comes to any modicum of looking out for their fellow man.
There are 2 paths you can go down, but in the long run...there's still time to change the road you're on.

Republicans, I let Republican lies about the election take over the nation. There is plenty of oversight, but we can lie about that also. We close our eyes to anything we don't like and let our great leader decide how we should think and tell us what to say.
Will you buy a stairway?
Lol shut him down when asking about the masks lol
Seeing this episode on Sunday after the election. Dems just got 50th senator and Republicans make take the house but by a smaller amount than predicted. Democracy wins for at least 2 more years.
Left crazy doesn’t compare to right crazy
Agree 100 %. Left crazy is pissed about the wrong pronoun while right crazy gets people killed.
True😂😂😂
No they are different kind of crazy but in equal measures.
@@andersandersen6295 How so? Never heard of left supporters defacating in the capital, and the left ok with it.
In Brazil, when the votes come in, they are stacked in one of two piles. At the end of the night, whichever stack is higher, that's the winner. Simple.

So, are you suggesting we should have a separate ballot for every office that is on the ballot: one for governor? one for secretary of state? one for Senator? one for House of Representatives? one for Insurance Commissioner....Secretary of Education...etc. etc. And that's just at the national and state levels. What about the offices at the county and local (municipal) level?
That may work in Brazil, but it wouldn't work in the U.S.
