The only time I'll say this, thank you hbo for letting this post the night of and not on Thursday. Thank you, John Oliver, for being you.
lol for what?
John We know it's you
I was just about to say the same thing good on you, HBO, and goddess bless John Oliver!
So, reward Democrats for unconditionally funding genicide, and refusing to talk about it during their convention, silencing the voices of the demographic, they are now pandering to. 🙄
@@Afinef real sneaky

What a time to live in. The comedians are serious, and the politicians are clowns.
I`m actually forced to copy this...but dont worry, whenever I use your phrase I will make sure to mention "-from a random dude on youtube"
Cheers from Brazil!
Good one...‼️🎰

You missed the word "repuke" in there, champ.
And repugnant comedians are just as clownish as their "leadership".
Great comment
As a gay man who was politically active in the early 80s I know that politics is voting for the person that can at least be moved in the direction you hope to see one day. That pragmatic approach meant that I often voted for people who just barely tolerated me. That slow, stead pressure worked but it took decades to go from someone who could be charged with a felony for having sex in some states, to someone who is married today. No politician gives you everything you want. Voting is not a zero sum game. Everytime that someone casts a protest vote ALL that happens is the side closest to them loses.
If you vote for them you've already given up your leverage. Liberals are all delusional.
thx for the perspective & congrats on ur marriage!
Thank you
Well said, sir.
You’re absolutely right. Well said!
"Polls are basically tied" this did not age very well.
They were tho.
Polls have a systematic problem, being unable to predict turnout by group, while relying on group weighting. Truly random polls should make a comeback. Not sure they will, but they should. Not because they are accurate, but because they are useful. These manually adjusted polls where pollsters tweak it to be safe regardless of outcome are worthless.
My Dad died from COVID when Donald Trump weaponized his pandemic 'response' by sending 170 broken ventilators to California, March 29, 2020, the frontline of the outbreak where he lost the vote. Now we find out May 21, 2020 Trump sent 200 working ventilators as well as COVID test kits to Putin. This is who he is. This act alone should disqualify the TRAITOR WITHIN causing the death of thousands of Americans. Miss you Dad!
NEVER AGAIN.
I miss my dad too although we rarely agreed on anything while he was alive.
God bless you!
I'm sorry about your dad.
@@cybele_msharing my story after being silent for 3 years is all I can do. Learning of the aid to Putin as Americans died from lack of PPE and equipment in the last week had me beyond angry. It is like my Dad died all over again he and hundreds of thousands of Americans have been silenced forever by the TRAITOR OF ALL TRAITORS.
Please we need this to be our voter talking point! Not the trash talk, Mc Donald's or they're eating the cats and dogs" makes me sick. Just like he already did once. I lived and won't be silenced by the Clown of Frown.
I am so sorry for your loss Sir.
Covid destroyed my dad's health. It made him blind and crippled. He spent months going from hospital to nursing home. He's only 62. And for a brief moment, he expressed regret at not getting the vaccine. But fast forward to today and all he does is listen to right-wing media and get angry about immigrants. He has since become proud of his refusing "the jab."
I was at the taping of this show on Saturday. John Oliver is just as amazing in person as he is on tv. We had so much fun! He basically did this all in one take. A real professional!
Wow !!
Vote for Jill Stein, she’s the only one who stands against gen-cide
@@jasonvargas7564 I see the message Mr. Oliver was trying to make sailed right over your head.
@@jasonvargas7564What does voting for a person that won’t win do?
@@jasonvargas7564 May as well vote for Mickey Mouse. He's got the same chance of winning.
Hey HBO.. thanks man. Thanks for putting this up on Sunday instead of Thursday. We appreciate you for it dude.
You mean business daddy did something right?
@sominboy2757 Are making money and doing the right thing mutually exclusive?
Yeah, HBO really cares. Please.
@@sominboy2757Yeah, but I wouldn't be surprised if John has to fight them to get this posted before election day.
Honestly, the first segment was more informative. Not that this one is bad, not at all.
Watching this on Wednesday. Aged like milk!
@@NE0C it was apparent this is how it was going to go though. This entire video reeked of last minute desperation and a Hail Mary. The fact is, Kamala pulled a Hilary and focused more on how bad Trump is rather than what she would do for America. And then she decided to cozy up to a far right authoritarian fascist named bibi and is supporting gen-cide. Trump will, too, but she refused to let go of aipac.
Yes. But salty and sour liberal tears taste sweet.
I don't want to hear how 30 years from now so many of T voters were Russian bots who hacked in. This is crooked and there should be a full investigation, now.
Thank you John and HBO for releasing this video on time, and not waiting until after the election.
Doesn’t move the needle for me personally voting for fascist lite isn’t something I can do in good conscience
@@TheRealAmericanMan sorry that's hard for you, I'm sure people negatively impacted by a Trump presidency will understand
@@Sugarman96
You do realize that we lost Roe vs Wade when the democrats controlled all 3 branches of Congress. Voting is meaningless, how do we only get two choices for president?
@ and what do you say to those who will be negatively impacted by a Kamala presidency?
The now multiple genocides that will continue?
And also, give me a call when she decides to codify Roe again lmao
@@Sugarman96 sorry that it is hard for you to understand the current negative impacts by Biden-Harris presidency making it impossible for people to vote for her. im sure the people whose entire families were wiped out will understand
"Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced."
James A. Baldwin
That's interesting because it feels like voting for Harris isn't actually facing up to the real problems in the world. I'm never saying vote for Trump but I'm not convinced people are willing to face her issues and push her and I'm not convinced Harris has a conscience or is capable of being pushed. Except by large sums of money obviously it goes without saying that she can be bought
That's an argument for facing the fact that the duopoly are both unacceptable in their support for the mass slaughter of civilians.
@ that's exactly right.

"It is a truism that many who join a rising revolutionary movement are attracted by the prospect of sudden and spectacular change in their conditions of life.
With a fading of the individual’s creative powers there appears a pronounced inclination toward joining a mass movement. Here the connection between the escape from an ineffectual self and a responsiveness to mass movements is very clear. The slipping author, artist, scientist - slipping because of a drying-up of the creative flow within - drifts sooner or later into the camps of ardent patriots, race mongers, uplift promoters and champions of holy causes.
The desire to escape or camouflage their unsatisfactory selves develops in the frustrated a facility for pretending-for making a show-and also a readiness to identify themselves wholly with an imposing mass spectacle.
All active mass movements strive, therefore, to interpose a fact-proof screen between the faithful and the realities of the world. A peculiar side of credulity is that it is often joined with a proneness to imposture. The association of believing and lying is not characteristic solely of children. They inability or unwillingness to see things as they are promotes both gullibility and charlatanism. Failure in the management of practical affairs seems to be a qualification for success in the management of public affairs.
The revulsion from an unwanted self, and the impulse to forget it, mask it, slough it off and lose it, produce both a readiness to sacrifice the self and a willingness to dissolve it by losing one's individual distinctness in a compact collective whole.
Propaganda ... serves more to justify ourselves than to convince others; and the more reason we have to feel guilty, the more fervent our propaganda. When the weak want to give an impression of strength they hint menacingly at their capacity for evil. It is by its promise of a sense of power that evil often attracts the weak.
The weakness of a soul is proportionate to the number of truths that must be kept from it. It is a talent of the weak to persuade themselves that they suffer for something when they suffer from something; that they are showing the way when they are running away; that they see the light when they feel the heat; that they are chosen when they are shunned.
Totalitarianism spells simplification: an enormous reduction in the variety of aims, motives, interests, human types, and, above all, in the categories and units of power.
Unless a man has the talents to make something of himself, freedom is an irksome burden. Of what avail is freedom to choose if the self be ineffectual? We join a mass movement to escape individual responsibility, or, in the words of the ardent young Nazi, ‘to be free from freedom.’ It was not sheer hypocrisy when the rank-and-file Nazis declared themselves not guilty of all the enormities they had committed. They considered themselves cheated and maligned when made to shoulder responsibility for obeying orders. Had they not joined the Nazi movement in order to be free from responsibility
Passionate hatreds can give meaning and purpose to an empty life. These people haunted by the purposelessness of their lives try to find a new content not only by dedicating themselves to a holy cause but also by nursing a fanatical grievance. Whence come these unreasonable hatreds, and why their unifying effect? They are an expression of a desperate effort to suppress an awareness of our inadequacy, worthlessness, guilt and other shortcomings of the self.
Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect. Collective unity is not the result of the brotherly love of the faithful for each other. The loyalty of the true believer is to the whole the church, party, nation and not to his fellow true believer. True loyalty between individuals is possible only in a loose and relatively free society
All mass movements generate in their adherents a readiness to die and a proclivity for united action; all of them, irrespective of the doctrine they preach and the program they project, breed fanaticism, enthusiasm, fervent hope, hatred and intolerance; all of them are capable of releasing a powerful flow of activity in certain departments of life; all of them demand blind faith and singlehearted allegiance.
Hitler, who sensed the undercurrent of admiration in hatred, drew a remarkable conclusion. It is of the utmost importance, he said, that the National Socialist should seek and deserve the violent hatred of his enemies. Such hatred would be proof of the superiority of the National Socialist faith. “The best yardstick for the value of his [the National Socialist’s] attitude, for the sincerity of his conviction, and the force of his will is the hostility he receives from the … enemy.
Hitler, who had a clear vision of the whole course of a movement even while he was nursing his infant National Socialism, warned that a movement retains its vigor only so long as it can offer nothing in the present-only “honor and fame in the eyes of posterity.
A just society must strive with all its might to right wrongs even if righting wrongs is a highly perilous undertaking. But if it is to survive, a just society must be strong and resolute enough to deal swiftly and relentlessly with those who would mistake its good will for weakness."

People need to know about the Supreme Court justices, Thank you for raising the issue 😊
VOTE PEACE AND FREEDOM PARTY
FREE PALESTINE
FUCK CORPORATIONS
FAVOR HUMAN RIGHTS
FREEDOM NOW!
Liberals were happy to see the SCOTUS decide every single major issues for years and years, when the supreme court was biased towards liberals. And now that's it not suddenly you guys realize what a bad idea it is to have the supreme court decide everything. Whoops!
Hopeless, people do not even realize that the SCOTUS has had a GOP appointed majority, continuously, since the late 60s. All that supposed "activism from the bench" like Roe v Wade? GOP majorities. They did not have to replace far left justices to push through the repeal, they had to replace conservative justices with far right nutcases.
I wish people took it seriously back in 2016. But yes. Eye on the prize.
@@ANunes06To be fair, damn near no one actually believed Trump could win including his own team/himself. That was the great awakening to how “sehr dumm” Rs could truly be.
The next 4 years is going to keep this channel full of content
That’s the one silver lining out of all of this lol
until dictator trump takes him off the air for opposing him.
I don't want to hear how 30 years from now so many of T voters were Russian bots who hacked in. This is crooked and there should be a full investigation, now.
That's good because Oliver was boring when he didn't cry about Trump
That is if John Oliver doesn't get arrested for bribing a Supreme Court justice.
Citizen, fellow American, I am a veteran, son of veterans, grandson of veterans, and I want to tell you, that you just gave the shortest, most moving, most profound, most _perfect_ description of civic integrity and voter responsibility, which I have ever heard.
The vote is a start, and we pick whom we most believe will respect our pushing in the direction best for all of us.
John, thank you for choosing us, and welcome to the America which you are already making better.
Thank you for your service ❤
I will not vote for any party that doesn't free palestine
@@alfredjohnson3642cool. Super edgy.
@@alfredjohnson3642 Harris is for 2 state solution and she will stand up to Netanyahu. Trump- whatever his bud Benji wants. Don't forget when he was President he moved US Embassy to Jerusalem.
Thank you for your service. My animosity towards the kkkondald is truly personal. I was deported because of his policies. My children will forever have to deal with that. Any American or legally registered voter that does not support Harris is a walking existential threat to humanity. I have no sympathy. They are garbage. Those arab Americans not supporting Harris are blind. They get NO LOVE!!!!
Thank you, John. When your voice cracked at "I'm an immigrant, I chose to be here," you perfectly contextualized everything I've felt for the last 25 years.
@@michaelmish4953 Neither is anyone else.
Yes!!! Not 25, but I certainly feel it now.
I heard it too. It killed me inside, every member of my family literally from one generation back are all immigrants. And they struggled and fought just to survive and be here
If you moved somewhere and the politics bother you, just leave.
You know it's a serious issue when Joliver gets choked up. There have been a couple of times I've seen it before.
"I do not believe in the fact that just because things are bad, that it's okay to let them get worse."

Why jump out of the frying pan and into the fire?
That's not a fact, though.
Watching this days after the election, it's so heart-wrenching...
@@dingleberryfreshNo, you misread "heart-wrenching". As in, it's terrible that Trump won. Are you incapable of understanding the fact that this is not what half of the country wanted and that a lot of people are very understandably disappointed, or are your reading comprehension skill just that poor?
@@dingleberryfresh That only applies to people who don't actually have hearts to begin with.
I love it

@@guyinthechat9533 I bet you do, non-hetero.
The post about the McDonald's ice cream machines makes more sense when you realise that McDonald's has recently gained the right to repair their own machines without having to get a mechanic from their supplier. This means it will be easier to make repairs and do maintenance, resulting in more reliable machines once their staff is properly trained to do so. This happened a couple of months ago under Biden's presidency, but Trump is pre-emptively claiming credit.
Same thought, so infuriating
All I know is Biden can't get enough of ice creams and Donny love some Mac-D😅
I was thinking that he didn't mention this case and how important a "right to repair" rule really is for small businesses. Being locked into maintenance agreements can be expensive. Biden's administration has really gotten no credit for anything has it...
@@BangWax Learn the difference between "their" and "there" before you try to make fun of someone else.

Democrats are a joke.
Thank you John! PA voter here... my 20 and 18 year old sons are voting in their first presidential election and my usually apathetic husband is voting for the first time ever. All 4 of us are voting for Kamala.
I think watching your show with my boys around to hear it actually shaped some of their thinking and i know it has sparked many conversations and some research from all of us. You're the best!
Hey! Young male Philly voter here. There’s so many trumpies in PA, but good people will outmatch them. Thank you for being on the right side of history!
this gives me some hope...my CA vote means little
Your perspective is a tragedy. The words you just used to support her are so divisive for anyone who supports the Republican platform.
The "right side of history" is subjective and divisive. Implying the People voting for the Republican platform are bad, is divisive.
@olliedawizard
You're AMAZING parents!!!🎉🎉🎉
Your poor family.
I love how this segment ends with a man trying to convey how much he wants things to work out alright and so many people look at that and their only thought is "Haha, my team won, suck it." I'm sure your rampant tribalism over a man who constantly gets on stage to declare how little he cares about you won't come to bite you in the ass.
Huh, Democrats lost the House, Senate and Presidency and Trump gets to nominate 2 new supreme court justices. Complete and uncontested control. All you can do is complain and watch the show. Biggest loss in over 50 years. Good times.
Bahahaha bad guys lost. America was saved
Suuuuuuck it
Trolls gonna troll. Hopefully they'll figure out what they've done eventually. Probably not though.
I can't believe we as a country let hate win yesterday. I'm ashamed of us, and if I manage to go on the European trip I'd like to go on in a couple years, I might pretend that I'm Canadian or something. Because I'm just so damned embarrassed.

@@jasonvargas7564 lol we'll vote for JD Vance in 2028
@@SohamMehta-bg3ds JD is not charismatic like Trump, nor is he funny. Objectively speaking, Trump is funny and meme material if you can ignore his fascism and racism and all the -isms.
Just like Kamala was only polling 1% (barely that) during the 2020 primaries and suddenly thought she had what it took to be president in 2024 despite no one even voting for her during any primaries (so foolish having Biden and the democrats pull that move), JD will never be able to pull in votes like Trump can.
Maybe Nikki Haley, but not JD.
It's honestly great to see all the cope in not only the comments, the media controlled left is convulsing. Hahahahah
John sounded pretty emotional towards the end there, and I don't blame him a bit.
Democrats lied about Biden's health and when they got caught they replaced him with someone in whom the electorate had no say. If you're defending this don't bother framing yourselves as the party that's saving democracy.
Friend, I'm Egyptian and I'm a nervous wreck on behalf of my fellow American brethren. I cannot fathom a world where Trump wins again. Worse still, I cannot fathom the amount of damage, moral decay, and absolute vengeance he will wreak on your people and future generations. In one singular presidential period he managed to completely poison your politics probably for the next 100 years. He destroyed your Supreme Court and filled it with corrupt and biased shills. He robbed all American women of their right to abortion. And he split the country so divisively that half of the country is convinced that the other half is trying to kill them and are therefore debating whether they should kill them first.
He did all of this naturally, comfortably and instinctively. And he didn't even have a plan the first time. But he's been building grudges, anger and a desire for vengeance and nursing it for the past 4 years. If he gets in again, he will ensure that there's nothing to salvage after he's gone. He's going to hand the entire country to extremist Christians, to white nationalists, to Nazis, to Putin, and North Korea.
Honestly, I'm scared for all of you, and I pray that you can triumph through voting and declare as a single nation that you will not stand for a criminal, felon, rapist, authoritarian, violent psychopath as your elected leader.
I feel the same way, and I voted for Trump last time! (Not this time!)
@@donborvioI crawled my way outta the gamergate phase just to get here, and this time you and I are on the right side of history
He may not be a natural born citizen but he clearly pushed for the hard earned privilege to be an American citizen because he has some love for this great country. In a way he had to prove his love and fealty in ways many of us have not. I imagine his emotion and passion is valid and true, a real patriot through and through.

Seeing John get choked up talking about how much he loves this country, that he chose to be a citizen, hit hard. I'm a naturalized US citizen and every word of his last speech felt like he was speaking for so many of us who chose to make this country our home.
Thank you to all, who chose to be here, for that is what makes America great!!
All of us, working and living together here, have the opportunity to discover all the different cultures and traditions and foods that make up this wonderful world of ours...key word being: OURS. It ALL belongs to ALL of us!

thanks for choosing this country despite its flaws. You're literally one of the reasons this country gets better. Because it has people like you to bring it into the future.
That's the reason legal immigration should be taken seriously.
Also, thank you for going throught the infuriatingly difficult process of immigration and naturalization. I've helped volunteer for local organizations that help immigrants, so I have some idea on how the system is generally- and often purposefully- NOT set up in your favor.
then don't piss off the people already living there by voting for the machine, vote clown!
John is the only one on mainstream who mentioned the Palestinians being insulted (by Rudy Giuliani). Even breakfast club didn’t mention it , this is part of the problem. Kudos to you John

Fantastic statement.
I didn't know how to put this feeling into words
You get to vote Jill Stein when you have proportional representation, before that you're just a shit-stain of a human being.

@@sueyourself5413 no.
Abolish the Electoral College! Since I’m not in a swing state, my vote basically doesn’t count. Let’s get direct democracy and ranked choice voting on the very next ballot!!
The problem is that those with the power to abolish it are the ones who benefit from it. The US really need to get their voting systems sorted since a lot of their political issues have systemic roots, but it won’t be easy.
Reps kow exactly they'd never have a president again when EC gets abolished
Abolish the electoral vote and just leave it to popular vote? With the way people soak up propaganda? No thanks. Contribute to your state more, the states are sovereign and that's going to be the only way this country moves forward once everyone understands this
I agree 100% that we should be fighting for ranked choice. But while the electoral college is a thing, you can vote swap with a protest voter in a swing state. Essentially sending your vote to where it will have the most impact, while still allowing the protest to be heard.
We'd need a constitutional convention to do that and that requires a majority of state governors to approve so that's a BIG ask. This is the reason state level races matter btw, we need those governors so we can add amendments to the constitution, like Healthcare for all, The right to a sustainable climate/environment, Bodily autonomy rights etc etc so they can't be removed via legislation.
Get your friends to vote blue and maybe one day it can happen.
Imagine the sound of derisive laughter at your expense.
Voting is not dating, it's public transportation. It not about the perfect fit, its about who gets you closer to where you want to be.
Just here to tell you, how smart this sentence is 😅👏
Trump's been around for 8 years now, and his supporters aren't going anywhere! The threat of fascism is here to stay, does that mean that corporate democrats (and "centrists" around the world) should get a free pass on every election, and remain unaccountable for the rest of our short lives?
There's no good answer to that question...
They need a "daddy", as Tucker Carlson has put it. Somebody who takes away the burden of being a responsible, introspective adult. They give up all their agency in exchange for the chance to externalize all their worries and project them onto a common enemy.
@@jonaskeller6399Some people are so lazy
Yup, and neither main candidate gets me closer to where I want to be, so I voted for Cornel West
This is the best essay/speech I've heard in a very long time about voting in the presidential election. Thank you.
Especially his last point that if he loses, he's done. He'll be relegated to just a nuisance--if by chance he avoids any jail time--and won't get the coverage he craves.
Really, even though he repeated the fauve outrage over a "roast comedians" bit, that even John Stewart got right. I guess you're telling Latinos not to vote for Kamala because she's racist, since George Lopez made a racist joke about Latinos all being thieves at a Kamala rally in Arizona. Oh, but, but, but..... Yes, practice those mental gymnastics. Fortunately, a lot of people are finally seeing thru this nonsense. Worse, it makes people vote for candidates like Trump, because the modern left hates comedians and can't take a joke. You'd all lynch David Chapelle if you could, which tells you who the real fascist are, well, Authoritarian/Totalitarian minded left is a better description.
Watch the end of Bill Maher(the last new rule)…that one’s pretty great too.
The only part I don't agree with is 13:07 - if Donald Trump loses, he's not done. Not anywhere close. Even if he gets put to jail or dies, we can't lower our guard. The entire Republican party is corrupt, and almost half of American people had their minds poisoned by the cult. Even with him gone forever, there will just be another one to uphold his toxic "legacy". This is the most important election in US history, but so will be every next one as the Republicans won't return to normalcy. They'll keep being far-right, Russia backed traitors with no morals that want to weaken and destroy America from the inside. As much as it sucks, we have to vote blue, no matter who, or else it's game over for America.
no ceasfire no vote.. democrats will lose and it will be no ones fault but their own for their utter disgraceful and sick behaviour
As an African American I can confidently say we have never gotten want we want from a presidential candidate but we vote for the candidate who will do us the least amount of damage. FYI: black people have only had the right to freely vote for 60 years. We take the fact that our 14% counts. Even if it’s not the perfect candidate. We’re a part of this country too.

_This_ is what America rejected. The wealthy elites like John Oliver that profit in hatred of the regular folk. The coastal supremacists in the audience that think they have all the answers and that those 40 states in the middle are just full of ignorant bigots who need to be told how to vote.

Viewing this from the future: John, you’re wasting your time 😂
LOL he a bum.
My uncle was an avid trump supporter. He followed his words very closely, and from what we could gather was a regular donor.
He refused a covid vaccine. He got very sick, and it wasnt until he was on his deathbed that he realized he had made a mistake. He died within 2 weeks of getting sick.
When we cleaned out his house afterwards, despite him being on unemployment, we found at least a thousand dollars of guns he never used, with all sorts of Trump and NRA thank you letters throughout the place. When we told his friends what happened (who were friends of ours as well), and suggested they get the vaccine. They threatened us with violence and said the most vile things.
Donald Trump and the republican party used my uncle as a mark. Their misinformation killed him, drained his wallet, and brainwashed his friends. He was one of his most loyal followers, and they did the most terrible things imaginable to him. And I can only imagine how many people can share the same story.
Please vote tomorrow. Im dissapointed in Harris too, but I will not sit by and let Trump be rewarded for what he's done.

@@jasonvargas7564 She has promised to support the defense of Israel. And I believe for purely political purposes she should continue to give Israel whatever it needs to defend itself. That, however, is much different than supplying Netanyahu with offensive weapons to carry out his offensive campaign. I choose to believe that Harris has keyed in on this language and will come down hard on Netanyahu while still keeping America's promise to support the defense of Israel.
She has, at the VERY least supported a 2 state solution and a ceasefire, and said that too many Palestinians have been killed. Trump has joked that Gaza would make a good beachfront property for Israel, invoked the Muslim travel ban, threatened to deport Palestinian protestors, said Netanyahu wasn't going far enough, moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, and Netanyahu literally wants Trump to win.
I'm not trying to saying Kamala will actually do much (or even anything) to help Palestinians, but arguing that she and trump are the same is delusional virtue signaling. Do what's best for the Palestinian people, don't let Netanyahu's pick win. Don't not vote because you'd rather more blood be spilled so long as the bloods not on your hands.

It wasn’t everything everyone hoped for, but it was way better than what we had. Same is true for VP Harris. She isn’t everything we hoped for, but she is way better than what we had 2016-2020. Just like I don’t want to go back to before the ACA existed, I don’t want to go back to when Trump was president
I read all of Barack's books. He did the best he could with Moscow Mitch dedicated to stopping every good idea BO had.

Harris will protect our right to disagree with her and hold her accountable. Trump will not. It’s that simple, and I wish people would consider that.
How? Harris hasn’t taken accountability for anything. She won’t even admit to anything she’d wish she’d done differently regarding mistakes she’s made at any time in her career. She was asked about prop 36 in CA, which was a layup for her to respond to, and she wouldn’t even answer that claiming it was close to the election.

Thank you John Olliver, for everything you do, and for posting this before the election.

This sadly did not age well
Hahahaha hilariously
I think it's emblematic how he devoted like 70% of the video to Gaza and acted like this was the reason Harris lost. As a Briton by birth, he should remember the anecdote of a Labour Party rally flashing like a thousand Palestinian flags, only for what they considered to still be their core electorate scratch their heads in front of their TVs and go "where the hell is Palestine? Why should I give a toss?".
Almost nobody in the US cares. Even actual Muslims don't because they have their own lives and everyday trouble, their Middle Eastern background an old memory that will never be directing their hand at the booth.
Foreign policy does not elections win. Can't believe how many times the Western left will need to be taught this same tired lesson.

Trump has said that he will "make a deal" with Russia instead of promising to support Ukraine, which sounds terrifying. He has also been critical of NATO in the past and comes off isolationist, which might mean that USA just leaves Europe without support in case of Russian aggression. Trump also vows to support Netanyahu, so who knows if Israel starts a war with Iran and drags the US into it too.
@@tdyang4249 The US President is generally looked at as the Leader of the Free World. Under Harris, this would likely not change much. Under Trump we would have an unpredictable maniac at the helms of power.

Project 2025 removes everyone thats not a yes man to Trump meaning there would be noone stopping him on doing irrational potentially very very bad decisions.

That's the key difference: If you disagree with what Biden did or what Harris might do, you get to keep voting and pushing for change if Harris wins. If Trump wins, we will slowly have those choices removed and you get what you get. "Whether we like it or not," in his own words.

And I canceled his vote out by voting for Trump. I wanted to let you know. By the way. Haha you lost. Your party’s degenerate policies gave Trump a landslide victory and you only have yourself to blame. How could you have been so blind?
How did that work out for him?
No use
He voted Trump 😂
@@ebenezergatsby5848good he voted for Trump 😂
Thank you, John. I turned 18 years old this year, and I registered to vote as soon as I could. My first presidential ballot was cast for Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz. They're not perfect, but they at least care about democracy and the fairness of elections. Please, everyone, vote blue. 💙
Thank you! Glad to see young people voting!
Congratulations on voting for the first time I still remember my first time voting over 20 years ago. Love seeing young people getting involved.
Since when do they care about Democracy? When Trump won they claimed for like two years Russia was helping him. When it never was. They want millions of illegal immigrants to come into the country to thin out republican votes and increase the number for democrats. Or how they bought the entire media so they can constantly spin narratives about one of the candidates? How tf is that caring about democracy???
Womp womp.🤣🤣 Trump won. Cope little liberal lefty. 😂😂
@@rohanshende4338 Unlike Trump's lot, who committed terrorism when they didn't get their way, I believe in a fair election, so I will - albeit not without great sorrow and sympathy for many of my fellow Americans, who will be persecuted by Trump sycophants who praise every word he says.
This is unbecoming of you. Aren't you supposed to be unlike me, who is according to you, a naive young lefty idiot? Accept your win with the graciousness and composure befitting of your age. I was taught to do this in kindergarten. If you are incapable of doing so, then you are incapable of having any adult discussions about the election.
Thank you, Jon for all you’ve done for our country

John.
Jon too tbh for giving us John
..yes, repeating propaganda about a roast comedians comments is so helpful, it highlights exactly who the left have become. They'll twist anything out of context for their own gains. Even John Stewart got that one right, so either John Oliver is a comedian hating leftist, or he lied on purpose. ...you'll notice he didn't mention George Lopez making a racist joke at a Kamala rally in AZ. ....but, but, but, but. Yes, practice those mental gymnastics. I just hope enough Americans aren't as dumb as all the sheep praising this nonsense.
He’s turned us into Trump voters
So happy I waited to watch this episode until after the election 😄
Yup same here, came to enjoy how it spooled like milk.
It'll be happy to come back to this comment and see how in the end Jon's still on point and see how you same voters got suckered into electing someone who just told you what you want to hear and got you all into a deeper hole.
Stop seething lmao@@198rhuaman
@198rhuaman can we not act like he wasn't already president for 4 years, the country didn't burn, America didn't get involved in a new war during that time. It's just accusations after accusations.. why? Dems made him the ultimate underdog, do they know so little about their own country they don't realize America loves the underdog? I'm not even an American ffs yet it looks more and more like Trump has now won 3 terms in a row, but one was stolen from him. He came back after an assassination attempt, while virtually all media tried to either silence him, or destroy his reputation..
I know John will never see this, but I need to say this.
I never thought I would cry watching Last Week Tonight, but seeing him almost cry talking about how much he loves this country moved me. I get upset constantly that my ancestors left Denmark as they are now consistently ranked in the top happiest countries in the world. I think of the rights I would have guaranteed if I were there that I don't have here and have lost a lot of patriotism the last 8 years. But seeing a foreigner be so passionate about voting and being so honest about his feelings made me spiritual, and I know it's ironic given John's beliefs, and I mean that respectfully. Honestly, I'm sad John Oliver couldn't run for president. If there was ever a case to say those born outside the US should be allowed to run, this would be it. I started watching John when I was fairly conservative. Over time, not because of John, but because of many circumstances, I've slowly changed and I could say that I'm a solid moderate. But from day one, I have respected him. I haven't always agreed, but he has very valid points and cites sources; something I have more respect for than someone who agrees with me but doesn't have any footing on why they have their view. I wish all the time I could have my parents watch Last Week Tonight to get them to see the logical standpoints of why they are misguided, or to at least have an understanding of the other side. Alas, they would be too offended by John's humor to even focus on the core content. However, even a result of that, it's refreshing to be able to watch someone almost every week that can produce such thorough and informative content and assure me that I'm not alone in my beliefs.
I wanted to write him and John Stewart in the ballot, so I empathize with your stance as a fellow Moderate.
I cried as well... Cuz I laughed so hard at that kid's shirt
@exoticalBecky_Miami omg for real, you can't make this shit up 😂😂
Vance Jones of the comment section😂
Read this while crying myself. 😢
Coincidentally I’m danish and there are a lot of us watching and wishing for the best outcome for all of you.
I know the outcome probably won’t affect me that much but I can’t help thinking about all the immigrants, transgender people, pregnant people and more who are fighting for their right to simply live. 💕
I am utterly terrified! Here in Germany a tv show host would never publicly express their political opinion, let alone suggest what party to vote for. The fact that you did made me realize even more how dire the situation really is, both for you guys in the US, but also for us in the rest of the world. I feel like this is a vote of the severity of the one in Germany in 1933, that could lead to a lot of suffering in the aftermath, except we now have the gift of hindsight and some people still choose to vote for the one that wants to be a dictator "on the first day". I don`t think I´ve ever been this anxious about an election, not even for my own country. My university will do a live broadcast in the audimax and I am nervous already. Not that I´d ever thought I would write this, but PLEASE, for the love of god, vote for Kamala Harris!!
Austrian here, I second this comment. When we tell you it's 1933, we know what we're talking about and we're not kidding.
As an American I've always found it fascinating how many people from other countries take an interest in our election. And I completely understand why. Who gets voted into office in our country has real world implications for many outside our borders. But Americans take very little interest in other countries politics. If there was a presidential or prime minister or whatever you have in Germany election going on, you would be lucky if one in a hundred thousand Americans even knew the election was taking place let alone who is running for office. Americans have a well deserved reputation for ignorance for a reason. That's how we found ourselves in this mess with Trump to begin with. Even though I never have or would vote for Trump, I still feel like I should apologize to the rest of the world for this disgrace of a human being being put on the world stage.
Same from Norway. This is terrifying. I have family members who had to shoot childhood friends because they were on the wrong side.
Florence,Italy here.. Europe and the world have the disasters of history to guide us. Mistakes and manipulations happens constantly but what you choose in America will affect us inmeasurably...please vote for Kamala Harris and avoid a world crisis
"@mathismuller6033 Right there with you! I’m over in the UK, and we’re just quietly sweating as the U.S. election unfolds-like the world’s most nerve-wracking reality show where we don’t get to vote, but we definitely have to live with the winner. It’s almost funny, in a dark way, that this one election has all of us on edge, like ‘Please, America, let’s not hit the ‘villain arc’ button on democracy.’ I almost wish the rest of the world got a symbolic vote, even if it’s just a desperate ‘SOS’ on the ballot. If I could, I’d join you in voting for Kamala Harris and praying for a plot twist that doesn’t end with us all in the apocalypse spinoff."
putting down my comment for the algorithm engagement.
watched this show for years and find it quite significant how it turned from comedy news to serious firefighting. I'm from europe and Trumps influence has done a number on our political climate too. please vote
Yeah here's some engagement too.
Very important
Whatchig this after election results is hilarious 😂
John, what you do has been the source of comfort for so many of us. THANK YOU!
A Wonderful final appeal to Reason & Sanity ... Thank You Mr. Oliver !
He has been appealing to the Biden-Harris administration to stop funding the genocide. I doubt this will work
Good luck from germany!
Hope you don't slip into 'our history', too!
it's a bit late for that. US passed that mark looong time ago. and keeps it going.
They are committing genocide right now and the genocide of the indigenous population of North America is what inspired Hitler.
There's still more people voting for Trump than there were for Hitler's party in the last free German elections of 1933. That ship has already sailed.
Some people are wise enough to learn from other’s mistakes and from history. I don’t think the conservative party is wise at all tho.
Not surprising, though. Conservative groups have gutted our history classes, and have presented an alternative reality. And banned books that might teach young people about the dangers of what we’re currently going through.
YOU’RE FIRED, JON OLIVER 😂😂😂
i probably shouldn't have watched this on Wednesday morning. Now I feel sad.
Made the same mistake
@@DixieWolf8 i knew Kamala lost when SNL did the same arrogant skit just like they did with Hilary back in 2016. Democrats never learn. If they were humble and actually reached out to voters and LISTENED instead of saying “Mamala’s got this in the bag, y’all!”
Huh, Democrats lost the House, Senate and Presidency and Trump gets to nominate 2 new supreme court justices. Complete and uncontested control. All you can do is complain and watch the show. Biggest loss in over 50 years. Good times.
@@totallynotaseaotter4946 enjoy the typical Republican tanking the economy and skyrocketing prices after he imposes his tariffs.

I laughed my asss off 😂😂🎉

Best of luck tomorrow US

Straight, white, Pennsylvania man here, and I'm voting for Harris. I don't care how funny people think Trump is, we need someone who will fight for working people and get shit done, and that's Kamala Harris.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't forget to remind your friends. Especially if you're younger.
Young people are ~80% likely to vote if they believe their friends are.
They are only ~35% likely to vote if they don't think their friends are voting.
That's ~250% increase in young people being likely to vote, simply by telling your friends that you're voting.
You're an embarrassment to your race and gender. Shame on you. But remember this... You shall reap what you sow.
Heheheheeeee. I'm watching this after the elections. Funny guy!
So looking forward to John being able to say "You know what that means...We got him!" and have be it real
I hope he brings out the button again
Idk man it’s not looking good. I hope your right.
Biden-Harris have the worst approval rating. Be for real
@@plabcentral630 You and the rest of the world...
Nobody wants Kamala’s open borders, massive inflation, record high food & gas prices, multiple wars, & rising crime. Vote Trump!!! 🙌❤
Well John, America is proud to have YOU. We're in this together. Godspeed.
I'm not proud to have him, I hope he gets deported so he can go be all weepy about his own politics.
As a Michigander and previously uncommitted, you've made your case.
I mean this with actual respect and curiosity but, how have you remained uncommitted for this long? I honestly struggle to see how that's possible so I'm inquiring to better understand people who take a similar position.
The saddest thing is so many people who claim to care about Gaza and won't vote for Harris are thinking about choosing a man who wants to give Israel MORE guns and bombs? I don't know about you but honestly, Trump is one of the biggest supporters of Israel in this country right now so take that with what you will when you cast your ballot as a voter who "wants peace" in Gaza.
@@rootbeer2399 all it shows is how horribly the Biden administration handled it and how little Harris did to distance herself and right those wrongs. It's obvious Trump would be worse. They just were so horrible that some people cannot on good faith vote for her. And I get that as someone who is voting for her
Not doing enough and directly supporting genocide will always be near political suicide, that is what most people have been warning this administration so hard, they didn't listen and may destroy our country in the process. Let's hope she wins in spite of this, but let's not yell at the voters if she loses.
@@rootbeer2399 I was an "uncommitted" voter in MI in the primaries and I still remain torn. I am by NO means voting for Trump and your comment highlights a big issue and that is the mentality that if we are not pro-Kamala then we must be pro-Trump. I'm anti-two party system. It's hard to hold someone accountable AFTER you give them what they want. They have no reason to listen. I love John Oliver and have watched him religiously since day one...and even watching this, I still am not sure what i'll do.
@@JRodriguez3047dude I mean this with all due respect, because your moral convictions are honorable, but I think you really just have to swallow your pride here. Vote Harris tomorrow then keep pushing for reform every day after. The battle doesn’t end tomorrow, but we get to choose what difficulty level we’ll be fighting at. I promise there are millions of Harris voters who care just as much as you - it’s a messed up choice, but life is messed up choices, and there is reason for hope with Kamala. Not hope for overnight change, but hope for a better path forward. Begging you man, make your voice heard tomorrow
