Bill Murray is rarely one to keep quiet about his opinions.
And in a recent sit down with CNBC's Squawk Box, the actor warned that political discourse had degenerated into a 'Clash of Clans everyday, first thing in the morning.'
'People are going to war about so much,' he warned.
He added that Democrats could often create division by striving to represent certain groups or minorities, rather than simply saying they represented Americans.
'My friend who's a great comedy writer, Jim Downey, he's accused of being a right-wing comedy writer, if there is such a thing,' Murray said. 'He says, 'No, I just think the way the Democrats handle things is poor, where they try to pick out little pieces of a population, oh well we represent the Hispanics, we represent the LGBT or something.
'And they're not speaking to everyone at once. And it's almost demeaning to say, 'I'm choosing you because you're a splinter group or you're a certain minority group.'
'There's almost a resentment that somehow you're separated, again, by a politician — 'You're my people. I'm in control of you, I represent you,' instead of thinking that each citizen has a right to be respected as a citizen first, under the laws of the country.'

"After less than six months, Sally Boynton Brown is out as executive director of Florida’s Democratic Party, according to Florida Politics.
But staffers told Florida Politics that Boynton Brown was not only aware of Bittel’s “creepy” behavior — but that she enabled it.
“He would do it in front of Sally,” one woman told Florida Politics. “He was really into talking about sex, and if you went along with his conversations he would be more amicable to working with you.”

just stop...
IMO, no differently than yours, you'll be much better served if you start paying att'n to the non-union/pragmatic/midwestern/southern folk...
some of 'those' many that left haven't forgotten what their upbringing taught them....
I've never been in the camp of 'the comedian' being the leader.....however, I've always been in the camp of the 'the comedian' being the 'rube and ruse' in isolation....

I wouldn't put him up on any pedestal and I imagine it's only a matter of time before Bill Murray is j'accuse of #metoo.
Bill is hardly a Republican. He has endorsed Ralph Nader and the Green Party in the past. My guess is he more likely a left-wing libertarian (w/out actually being a member of the party).
Kudos for him though for calling out tribal politics.

shouldn't that be the overall 'mission statement' relative to pragmatical thought???
e.g. I choose ® due to lack of a better choice and pine for the center....
what he's really saying is, "ewe dumb motherfukkkers are getting duped w/o knowing it"

Yes.
The sooner we get away from rooting for political candidates as if they were "good guy vs. bad guy" the better.
