I've never had much use for John Oliver, the former Comedy Central and later HBO liberal Limbaugh wannabe. I quote the following material with the caveat that it's a fan paraphrasing him.
I really like the way John Oliver put it. We elected Barack Obama and put Kamala Harris in the VP office, but in between we put a hateful white supremacist in office. All of that is who we are.
"We" elected Obama & Kamala the cop. Barack Obama bombed hospitals, droned weddings, imprisoned whistleblowers, let torturers & war criminals go unpunished, tried to prolong the US occupation of Iraq, tried to cut Social Security & Medicare, deported record numbers, turned Libya into a slave market, etc., etc. Yet liberals still see his administration as a brief shining moment of hope and change between Dubya and Drumpf. (To say nothing of their whitewashing of Dubya.) Yes, it's who "we" are.
P.S. And by the way -- seeing Obama's and Harris's skin color as a positive detail that overrides everything else about them and their political records is racist.
