John Oliver: “All of that is why a bunch of our stories this year have ended with me telling you to vote against Donald Trump. But to be clear, I am voting for Kamala Harris. And I think you should, too.”
No, Oliver, you and your team spent FOUR years sowing bullshit that Democrats were just as bad as Republicans. You and your shit team of writers took even the most dubious items and made them a “thing.”
Your team is full of shit writers. You are complicit.

How many jokes did they write that were favorable to Harris before she ran? More than zero?
Voting against Trump isn’t the same as voting for Harris. This is the problem with Oliver and his shit take team.
They never, NEVER made jokes that were favorable to Democrats. They made jokes that portrayed Democrats as “just as bad” and now reality has caught up, OMG, they realize they helped Trump.
Good job you complicit assholes. You simplistic fuckwads. You carried an anti-Democratic narrative.
And now you want us to fix your water carrying?
This is how democracy dies: from self serving couchfuckers who are too privileged to realize they are part off the problem. “Can’t you take a joke” to “Please please vote for Harris despite our messaging that Democrats are as bad as Republicans.”
Wow.
You really are blind.
John Oliver wanted us to read the future under Obama
“I am not saying that all I want from leaders is shows of anger,” Oliver said, “but it has been depressing to see so many of them treat the end of Roe v. Wade with the solemnity of a funeral instead of the urgency of a f***ing cardiac arrest.”
And, yes, Oliver presented exactly ZERO EVIDENCE Democrats did nothing.

@feloneouscat candidate Barrack Obama vowed to sign the Freedom of Choice Act, President Barack Obama said it's not his "highest legislative priority."
The Freedom of Choice Act was 2007. Roe was not on the chopping block. Obama wasn’t President.
His comment was made while he was working to prevent the country going full Second Depression.
IIRC Congress didnt present him with a Freedom of Choice bill. 🤷🏻♀️
@feloneouscat Obama had incredible levels of support when he was sworn in. When he said he learned from Reagan I hoped he meant leveraging his popularity and going to the people to pressure Congress. That was not the case. Even ACA is a warmed over Republican think tank creation, not a popular Public Option or Universal Healthcare model. That popular support was wasted.
There actually WAS a public option but it was killed in order to get Lieberman’s vote. Lieberman refused to vote for it unless the public option was removed.
Without Lieberman there would have been no ACA.
@feloneouscat I doubt that “4 dimensional chess” to create a crisis that would codify Roe.
