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.
Lol, like what? Does liking a sport and hating and exposing the corruption of it’s organizers equate to supporting it’s organizers? https://youtu.be/DlJEt2KU33I?si=WJAc7yVePsn0GwaA
…and apparently understanding the frustration with the EU but calling leaving it insane and urging people to vote against brexit is “supporting” it? https://youtu.be/iAgKHSNqxa8?si=JsEMq6gV7-tp5y7k
Like are you even trying? Nobody is perfect, John Oliver included, and I’m sure there are reasons to dislike him but could you at least chose topics he hasn’t released multiple YouTube full clips of episodes of his show where he literally contradicts your point?
Does he? For one, he clearly supported Brexit no matter what the semantics of it are. The main point is he’s so wrapped up in his identity he can’t separate himself from predictable issues that sometimes raise eyebrows (again, Brexit VS the referendum come to mind). Someone not being perfect doesn’t equal self-irreconciliation. The main theme with him, if anything, is matching what he’s a stereotype of. Seeing him “cry for Harris” sounds like that on steroids and just the level he goes to by doing that, which I wouldn’t even call good form when it’s not his country who he’s crying over the candidates of, is the only biggest surprise from him all year, which isn’t a great thing to have to say.
Does he what?
What do you mean by the word “semantics” in this sentence? I don’t think it means what you think it means.
Here are some examples of John Oliver opposing Brexit:

Last Week Tonight, Jun 2016
Last Week Tonight, Brexit ii
Last Week Tonight, Brexit iii
John Oliver publicly, repeatedly opposed Brexit, using his considerable platform to do so. With respect, you are talking out of your anus.
You seem to want to paint John Oliver as a stereotype, and then claim that this is all he is. I find that reductive, ignorant and distasteful. Here is someone who addresses issues varying from presidential accountability to gambling laws, national, international and global issues, with compassion, logic, humanity and humour. And you try to boil him down to a stereotype. You’re not even able to define the stereotype you’re trying to invoke. It would be funny if it weren’t shameful.
It is his country, though. He holds dual citizenship.
He’s not in America though, so it doesn’t change anything. He’s in the UK. The US president holds no reach over him. No matter who becomes president, he’s going to wake up in the UK when it’s all done and it’s going to be as if it was just a blip for him.
He lives in New York, you simpleton
Notice I said “in”, not “lives in”, as in he can hop back and forth. This is starting to sound like a fandom.
