Teary-eyed John Oliver begs reluctant voters to back Harris - lemm.ee
lemm.ee
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 [https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-cosplays-as-a-garbage-man-in-final-election-pitch/] and allow Americans to carry on with life without worrying about what he might do next.

        In this metaphor, I think it might be better to characterize yourself as the riddler. Just saying.

          Would I be vague enough to count as the Riddler? Every part of what I’ve been saying has a dominantly designated thing it could be referring to. One might notice there have been several people who didn’t (albeit at the cost of getting the dislike hammer, cuz shame is what’s really going on here) have the issue you allude to.

            Nnnno, sorry, the issue isn’t your message itself, its that your grasp of the written language makes it really difficult to parse. Really not attempting to be a dick with this, I swear: both you and the comment you linked are pretty perplexing to read.

      Being banned from a community where politics is discussed, mainly for breaking a rule such as misinformation, all while the rule enforcer’s basis is itself against that rule, with proof being used to expose that.

    Okay as someone who used to have this exact problem in the past, you should learn to avoid run on sentences and comma splices. Using relative clauses to join sentences also makes things ten times harder to understand. As a rule of thumb if you have more than three commas in one sentence there you should probably put down a period somewhere and start a new sentence.

    I gave up looking into it. Your sentences are unnecessary long. Your sentence structure is abysmal. You act like you are afraid from getting to the point, because the point might bite you or something. It fucking hurts to read. I don’t even know what you are talking about. It’s like you are deliberately trying to waste peoples time.

    If I were a mod anywhere I would have preemptively perma banned you now, just so I don’t have to deal with this shit. Fuck, I’m furious! And I don’t even know what the fuck is going on!? Frankly, I don’t want to anymore.

      You’re furious about someone communicating in long sentences and having bad sentence structure (bad in what way) when addressing varying points before even knowing what’s going on and thus being able to pinpoint what rules are being broken, which would, from the perspective of the rules, actually warrant a ban, in a world where someone can just ask about intended meanings?

      So much for a neurodivergent or non-native English speaker doing their best to be accommodating in the things that should matter.

    You should be blocking politics and news subs o Lemmy.world not the other way around lol

    Idiots running those joints are tried to shill kamala but it likely back fired since no discussion was permitted and anything less than worshipping her ended up in a ban lol

    Idiots played themselves similar to Hilary 2016

      Sooooo much this! The poltics subs on Lemmy are toxic crybaby shitholes.

      I never bowed down to them, or the Duopoly, or Harris. No matter how much they cried. And it feels fucking AWESOME to have been right!

        Yeah the shill op looks pathetic in with hind sight.

        They still won’t recognize or admit the error of that approach.

    If it’s .world, of course they banned you. They ban anyone who doesn’t bow down the duopoly. Laugh about it and move on, friend. They are toxic in the c/politics sub over there, these days.

    I got banned for “trolling” and “sealioning” because I posted news articles that noted that some polls (from Newsweek and Reuters!) were saying Trump was gaining on Harris. And then not backing down, while also saying I wasn’t voting for Harris.

    I stand by everything I said. And the election proved I was 100 percent right.

    And that community is even more toxic that before. The modlog there is a fucking shitshow right now. I read it for laughs. :)

    There were posters there saying that I was gonna get permabanned from the entirety of Lemmy (and they emailed a lot of admins asking them to ban me!)… all because I voted third party and refused to vote for Harris. LMAO

    Yet here I am. The beauty of the fediverse is if they try to silence you on one instance, just jump to another.

    The .world community is a joke. All the other intances know how ban-happy they are. Just move on.
