John Oliver's Election Day Message: Why Voting Matters

On YouTube, John Oliver from Last Week Tonight shared his final thoughts on the U. S. presidential election. He urged viewers, especially those who feel frustrated with the Biden/Harris administration's handling of Israel, to vote for Kamala Harris. Some Muslim and Arab voices, despite their pain, decided to support Harris because a Trump win would pose extreme danger to immigrants and the pro-Palestine movement. Politics isn't always inspiring, Oliver reminded us. It's about making tough choices. He admitted that he wasn't thrilled about voting for Biden, but it's about who's the lesser threat. Oliver expressed hope that if Trump loses, he'd be less of a threat and more of an annoying distraction in the future. Oliver's segment was released early on YouTube, likely due to its urgency and relevance to the upcoming election. Normally, HBO has a four-day delay for online releases, which Oliver has expressed frustration with in the past.
