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.
“Forever elections” are the new normal, imo.
I fucking hate it too :(
If only Citizens United v. FEC could be overturned, because it’s so very obviously terrible😅
Don’t worry, once Democrats win 2024 MAGA will just give up forever and stop trying to implement American fascism.
We won’t be trapped in a cycle that can only end with the death of the boomers and Gen X or a civil war for the next two decades.
Unfortunately the alt-right disease isn’t limited to some arbitrary birth date brackets. It spreads to younger people all the time. You can’t just wait it out, you have to fight it, and keep fighting it.
This is true but it does seem more limited. If it was just millennials and zoomers voting in this election the Republican party would lose its power to threaten democracy on a legal ground tomorrow.

Of course, if that “something else” is all Libertarians it might create the cyberpunk dystopia but what’s the difference between that and the current Republican takeover by the tech billionaires anyways?
Cyberpunk dystopia at least has a good aesthetic…
yep, and Israel will reliquish their hold on both parties, because thats the right thing to do, and they are the most moral country in the world… And we’ll eliminate the electoral college and make sure our politicians can no longer take bribes, especially from foreign governments. Also, we’ll jump in with both feet on climate change.
But if it means that I don’t have to give a shit about what Donald Trump says or does ever again…
TBF, maybe that is it, as stupid as it sounds…maybe we have to maintain this shitty status quo and only prevent sliding down an unrecoverable hill until the boomers die. The next gen mostly gives me hope. I don’t like them and their damn skinbidi toilets, but, for the most part, they are less tolerant of 80’s sales tactics and are more likely to doubt and then learn, instead of fallingnfot every dumb thing.
