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.
how so?
Because you’d been falsely presenting as a disillusioned Democrat that could be won over if Harris changed position on supporting Isreal. And framing it as others such as yourself could be won over as well, and that the Dems deserve whatever they get for failing to do so.
Yet you now admit that the Dems will never get your vote (in the short term), and that changing position on Isreal support would not get them your vote.
That’s literally what this community has vocalized repeatedly in response to people like yourself who grandstand on genocide despite the only other option being worse genocide.
Tl;Dr- you admit that pandering to people like you will achieve nothing.
thanks for explaining.
i’m not in the democrat fold; i’m closer to them than i am to the republicans so i’ve voted for them in the past, but i think my history with them precludes ever joining. i’m not a disillusioned democrat.
