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.

    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:

    • we will ensure children and women are protected
    • we will send x amount of aid of food and medicine
    • we will never support war crime

    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.

      I understand your point. But if you’re American, will you vote for Harris? Or give away your vote to Trump?
