To truly be part of the problem, one must prosthelytize or accept most, if not almost all, of one side's views. Maher is too much of a heretic on too many important issues to be embraced by either side. He's anti-Trump, pro-environment, feminist, and socially more liberal than 99.99% of people. But he's also intolerant of religion, anti-woke, and absolutist on free speech trumping the interests of those who feel hurt by it.
Maher hasn't accepted and parroted the adequate number of their virtues to fit on the left or right. In fact, he shits on a bunch of them every week for a living. So no. He's not part of the problem. He's part of the solution.

No, until he tries to understand facts before he opines on them, he's a big problem.
That's separate from his virulent racism and bigotry, which is also problematic, but that we don't need to beat that dead horse again.
