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.
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.
What the heck? But he’s not “in” the UK either. He films in the US and lives in the US and performs in the US.
You are changing definitions of things and somehow you have decided fandom is a slur? I get it. I don’t like modern fandoms but like very different culture from people just trying to correct you on basic blunders.
I just don’t actually get your points at all. You could think we were deflecting or apologizing for him. But fandom?
…and any of that is supposed to mean this person everyone says has dual citizenship is always in the US? If he didn’t have dual citizenship and entirely changed his citizenship to “American”, that would be one thing. I’m not the one changing definitions.
An American could fly to Japan on holiday, an Italian could take the train to Germany, a Chinese national could boat to Singapore. Just because you can go somewhere else doesn’t change were you reside.
He could leave. So could lots of others, it’s not exactly a simple thing and not exactly a unique to him thing. You still care about your house when you leave home.
You are now changing the goal on what you said cause you still feel like you don’t want to be wrong but it’s really ok. I won’t judge you for backing off the ledge.
You said he wasn’t in the US, but he is. You imply he doesn’t care but that’s an opinion you can’t prove without being him. Just move on. You owe nothing to this argument and gain nothing for it. I hope you can, cause I already am.
Hope you get a moment to breath.
Then it’s a good thing I wasn’t saying where he resided, now isn’t it? That’s putting words in my mouth. My previous statements about dual citizenship versus simply altered citizenship remain a good response to the rest of this.
How is he not in America if he lives and works there and has done for a long time?
The same way it’s possible someone might not currently be in their house even though they live in their house.
Is he currently living in the UK?
I’m not sure what counts as “living” and “residence” in everyone’s eyes, but he has dual citizenship and definitely uses it, and it’s not like he doesn’t treat the UK with some element of homeliness. If it counts towards anything, he undoubtedly has family in the UK. Today, along with Election Day, also happens to be Guy Fawkes Day (or for some people, Anonymous Day, but that’s aside the point). So any special schedule of his today would take place there.
Even so, the US president holds reach over his livelihood in NYC as well as his job in an American company.
If that held a lot of relative weight due to his circumstances, that would be one thing.
That is one thing.
Yeah, in the same way that who the prime minister of Canada is would decide whether I take future work trips to Quebec. If it’s relative, it’s on the low end of the consequence scale for him.
But it’s not. It’s not the same thing. You are assuming that’s equal but it’s not. It’s not work trips but his job and place where his home is.
I’m done responding to you but you need to stop assuming you know other people and everything right.
There isn’t other people agreeing with you in here. It’s just you. And it’s gonna make you lonely.
