“This is our final show before Election Day,” John Oliver started Sunday evening’s “Last Week Tonight,” on HBO. Oliver made some jokes and spoke about how Donald Trump’s unintentional absurdity as an individual has all the time made it onerous for individuals to doubtlessly notice how harmful he actually is.
“This might come all the way down to a handful of votes in a handful of states,” Oliver defined. “And given that, I’ve been thinking ‘what am I going to be feeling on Wednesday, and is there anything I’m going to wish I’d said right now?’ So that is what the rest of this is going to be.”
“Picking apart policy proposals when the alternative is Trump is a bit like debating which color to paint the living room when your house is on fucking fire,” Oliver mentioned in response to criticism that Harris’ insurance policies have gotten quick shrift on his present.
“However to be clear, I’m voting for Kamala Harris, and I feel you must too,” Oliver informed the viewers, saying the subsequent couple of minutes could be an enchantment to undecided voters, or uncommitted voters uninspired by Harris and Biden’s positions on international coverage.
Oliver completed strongly saying that politics is transactional by nature, and one’s private hopes and desires are hardly ever, if ever, met by any single candidate.
“Here is how I look at it. The struggle for justice isn’t just about what happens on Election Day. It’s a fight waged constantly, day in, day out, in protests, on the streets, meetings with legislators, and in the thousand small actions that cumulatively move the government forward an inch at a time.”
It’s well worth the watch.
