Summary
In an emotional monologue, John Oliver urged undecided and reluctant voters to support Kamala Harris, emphasizing her policies on Medicare, reproductive rights, and poverty reduction.
Addressing frustrations over the Biden administration’s Gaza policy, he acknowledged the struggle for many voters yet cited voices like Georgia State Rep. Ruwa Romman, who supports Harris despite reservations.
Oliver warned of the lasting consequences of a second Trump term, including potential Supreme Court shifts.
Oliver said voting for Harris would mean the world could laugh at this past week’s photo of an orange, gaping-mouthed Trump in a fluorescent vest and allow Americans to carry on with life without worrying about what he might do next.
We all know that she needs to do. They have the power.
Instead we’re going to end up like the 2016 elections when there were these “Bernie or bust” voters that basically gave away the election to Donald Trump instead of voting for Hillary.
Except this time it’ll be over Israel and their genocide.
What’s even stupider is Trump would more than likely be worse in this regard.
There’s no need for “more than likely” in that sentence.
I was one of those Bernie guys but I learned my lesson after 2016, I voted for sleepy Joe and I already voted for Kamala.
As an aside to your point, Bernie voters mostly showed up for Clinton. Dedicated centrist Dems, i.e. Clinton’s core voter base failed to turn out. It’s simply right wing agitprop to continue the lie that Bernie or bust people existed in large enough numbers to cost the female Dick Cheney the election.
So not only she didnt completely refuse to listen to them, she also repeated lies to their faces, brought Israeli family on the stage to speak about how they feel and refuse electoral Palestinian to speak. And now let Clinton say that Palestinian,” the people of the land”, have no right to exist.
How hard it is to say something along the line:
How hard it is to meet with Muslium or Arab or Palestinian, snd say something to make them trust her?
And then there are the other things that i found fucked up.
Screaming women rights and then letting Clinton, a known predator to endorse and speak in her event.
I don’ t get this. Why promise something you are sure you can’t commit to? Why desire for a politician to lie to you?? Politicians are already dragged for false promises on things they’ve actually tried (but failed) to accomplish. But you want them to whisper sweet nothings in your ear about an incredibly politically-complex issue…for what? I don’t want her to say it unless she means to do it.
So if her whole campaign was " ignore the genocide trump is bigger threat to the US" I will expect her to do everything in her power including lying because the alternative is worse than a genocide.
I understand your point. But if you’re American, will you vote for Harris? Or give away your vote to Trump?
I will most likely either not vote, vote third party or vote harries.
i’m expecting another 2016 too and; just like now; people were telling her campaign that rejecting your most fervent supporters to court voters who equate kamala’s relative flawlessness with trump’s ineptitude doesn’t get you votes.
the one silver lining in this upcoming cloud is that they’re using all of my identities to virtue signal as it pertains to project 2025 and; if kamala loses; that will become a failed political wedge strategy and help ensure that it will never be employed again.
when we enact the few remaining parts of project 2025 that we haven’t done yet since 1981; mutual aid is going to matter in a similar way that i experienced it during the aid/hiv crisis the last time our gov’t did little except make a public show of support while idly sitting by and letting thousands of people die and i hope that the future’s younger vulnerability minorities aren’t so easily manipulated by those same people who cashed in on ensuring that they’re minorities.
Is this also you?
Pick a lane dude.
i left the democratic fold when they did dadt & doma.
i can’t tell if you’re willfully redirecting.
