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.
I really appreciate that outlook and point of view. Of course, eventually you’ll run across folks like this guy who even given the door won’t walk through it but it’s commendable to be open minded and kind.
I try to do the same but sometimes it’s an obvious troll and you’re writing a comment for whoever is reading the comments vs the person you’re replying to.
Keep up that positivity and empathy, we all could use some more of that!
