      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.

    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.

      "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."

      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.

      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.

      There's no good answer to that question...

      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.

      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.

    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.

      @@tonymiller6847 That's far from "supporting genocide". Trump told Netanyahu to "finish the job" AKA hurry and and wipe out the Palestinians. *THAT* is the pro-genocide choice. I can understand why Harris can't realistically make a major policy change just heading into an election. They don't know how that could disrupt the vote in ways they can't foresee. If any changes come, they will have to come post-election, as poor of a compromise as that is.

      Passion is a double-edged sword. I also thank people like John and Ruwa Romman whose passion drives them to seek the greater good in an imperfect world. But the people who have an all-or-nothing attitude about politics (regardless of the issue at hand) really have no right to complain when they get nothing.
      Life is about compromise. While I understand being driven by passion, getting some of what you want is always better than getting none, and it's certainly better than making things worse than they already are. Unfortunately, passion drives some people to place ideology above practicality. I really hope John got through to the people whose passion is so strong that it's self-defeating.

Obama built literal concentration camps and deported 5,3 million immigrants. and also started the child separation. LIberals? meh. Trump wants to build concentration camps and do mass deportation? hitler. democracy? also, who didn't have primaries? democrats! and then shoved a horrible candidate down your throats. She did a lot of bad shit as a prosecutor. She didn't even win a single delegate in 2020 in her home state. There's next to no difference between the 2 parties. Democrats sound better.
