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.

    And if Trump gets to appoint Thomas and Alito’s replacements, we never will again.

      yes and the vast majority who only have that “shallow understanding” and the people who have worked ensure that they do have sealed our fate.

          i’m never that lucky and this is clearly hitting close to home for you as it does for me based on your comments.

          i have the benefit of doing this for about 50 years so i have my own ways of coping and i hope you have your own version of touching grass too.
