Maher echoed her sentiments, stating that the party needs to push back against <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >misguided ideologies coming<\/a> from younger supporters, notably those that appear to support terrorism. He emphasized that the Democratic Party risks alienating itself if it continues catering to such views. Slotkin&#8217;s approach aims to reclaim patriotism in the party&#8217;s messaging and combat negative perceptions of America while maintaining her focus on improving the Democratic Party from within.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Maher slams &lsquo;weak&rsquo; Democrats that &lsquo;indulge all sorts of nonsense&rsquo; from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fire-fauci-new-study-finds-closing-schools-in-response-to-covid-19-delayed-herd-immunity-and-will-increase-overall-deaths\/\" title=\"FIRE FAUCI: New Study Finds Closing Schools In Response to COVID-19 Delayed Herd Immunity and Will Increase Overall Deaths\">young<\/a> voters<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2112388\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Late night talk show host <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/bill-maher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Bill Maher<\/a> praised Sen. <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/elissa-slotkin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Elissa Slotkin<\/a>&lsquo;s (D-MI) recent criticism of the Democratic Party and its &ldquo;weak and woke&rdquo; positions.<\/p>\n<p>Slotkin&rsquo;s advice to the Democratic Party lately was that it stop using the word &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/3391600\/slotkin-strategy-democrats-weak-woke\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">oligarchy<\/a>&rdquo; and embrace the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/opinion\/editorials\/3395550\/elissa-slotkin-patriotism-problem\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"American flag\">American flag<\/a> again.
