Actor William Shatner admitted to "Real Time" host Bill Maher that he didn't understand why Vice President Kamala Harris lost the 2024 election, as the pair discussed what went wrong for the Democratic Party on Maher's "Club Random" podcast on Sunday.
Maher opened his show suggesting the left's "intolerance" to Democrats who don't toe the party line on every issue cost them votes this election.
"Conservatives are much more tolerant of people they don’t like. It's the liberals who are purists, especially the ones in this town. They are the ones who say if you don’t agree with me one million percent, I don’t even want to know you. That’s one of the reasons they lost. They have a bad attitude," he told Shatner.
But Shatner admitted he was baffled by the election results. "I don’t know why Democrats lost. I don’t understand [it]," he said.
Maher argued that President Biden was partly to blame for staying in the race too long.
"That, I understand," Shatner replied. "But inflation? Prices have come down, the economy is good. I don't know why they voted against her, against the party," he said.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Captain Kirk is an elderly Canadian, sad day when Bill Maher is the voice of reason.

Shatner is a little too old to be discussing politics.

Isn’t Captain Kirk saying, I’m doing OK. What’s the problem?

Well your leadership is right there with you Bill. And since neither of you know why, that is why you lost. You have lost touch with the base.

Nailed it.

Shathead apparently now has enough money to be insulated from the effects of a bad economy. I suggest he talk to 1970’s Shathead that was forced to live out of his car.
