Teary-Eyed John Oliver Begs Reluctant Voters to Back Harris
www.thedailybeast.com
The late-night host sent an emotional message to viewers in a passionate monologue days before the election.

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.

    Not being killed emtionlessly. Trump will allow the slaughter of people around the world and not just in the country you care about.

      that’s literally what’s happening right now and the people who could put a stop to it immediately, wont unless we vote for them.

        No hun, neither are great choices for that fact. But one of them is saying they’ll kill everyone, while the other kinda agrees sometimes while pandering to Isreal for whatever reason the people will never know.

        So which do you want. The guy who will kill you and many more, or the ex cop who might do something maybe good.

          the ex cop has done a lot bad stuff when it helped her in the past; so i’m not convinced that she will do the right thing for the genocide. it also doesn’t help that she’s not doing the right thing right now and defends it over and over again.

          and the guy that we think wants to kill more has no history of doing so; he only wishes he could do what the ex cop is doing right now.

          i think that the worst part it is that she will keeping doing it unless we vote for her and even then only after they’re done with that timetable MLK Jr. wrote about.

            So youre a plant acting in the benefit of Palestinian while supporting trump.

              you’ll know for sure if you can still see my activity after the election; however i recommend blocking instead of tagging since you’re in safe space that leftists created for themselves and likely to encounter similar views in the future.

              the ability for liberals to continue sticking their heads in the sand is the reason why trump is projected win; but i’m atleast glad that it’s a feature in the lemmyverse to help stave off it’s enshitification for as long as possible.

                  Oh sweet summer child, the Fediverse isn’t the safe space you think it is. Just because Lemmy’s devs are a bunch of tankie morons doesn’t mean shit. The moment admins and mods use their power to force their dumb narrative, people find a new instance to call home.

                  That’s why the vast majority of Lemmy users are on general purpose instances. The greater community is anti-Tankie and recognizes places like the ML instances and Hexbear to be the cesspools they are. Even if the ML instances are run by the Lemmy devs, they never became big like the Mastodon flagships because they have toxic admins.

                  As long as you’re out spreading pro-Trump propaganda, people will be here to call you out on it. I’m sure you’d enjoy a block so we can turn a blind eye to you, but that’s not what’s going to happen. If the tankie gatekeeping you’re doing keeps becoming a trend, you’ll may soon find yourself blocked by all of your critics, because nobody will federate with your instances anymore. At least then you won’t have any reach anymore and you can exist in the fringes where you belong.

                  And if the Lemmy devs prove to be a problem, Kbin and Mbin easily replace Lemmy. Tankies don’t own the fediverse and never will.

                  quoted for posterity’s sake.

                  fwiw it think you’re right about the future.
