CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

Variety reports:

John Oliver got emotional during the final “Last Week Tonight” episode before the U.S. election, urging his viewers to vote for Kamala Harris.

“Elections alone aren’t efficient for large-scale change, but they’re absolutely necessary for it to ever happen,” Oliver said. “Because it’s the day you essentially get to choose who you’d prefer to be pushing for the next four years and where you’ll be pushing them from.”

Holding back tears, Oliver continued: “Look, I love this country. I’m an immigrant. I chose to be here. In the words of the late, great Lee Greenwood: I’m proud to be an American. And I’d argue there is nothing more American than having a healthy, adversarial relationship with those in power, even if you voted for them.”
