John Oliver: Joe Biden’s Speech Was ‘Light on Detail’ and Instead Kept Saying that He Was Not Donald Trump

‘It’s a mistake for the DNC to spend four days pointing out that Joe Biden’s not Donald Trump’

EXCERPT:

OLIVER: "Okay. Now, normally I’d point out that compassion and decency are not concrete policy agendas, but considering open authoritarianism is also on the ballot, sure, what the f**k, adequate versus evil, let’s go. And I’m honestly not saying it’s a mistake for the DNC to spend four days pointing out that Joe Biden’s not Donald Trump, it’s a very attractive quality. But, spending so much of their convention underscoring Trump’s unfitness for office may have been redundant given that Trump spent the entire week basically making that case for them by continuing to sow distrust of voting by mail, calling for a boycott of an American company that employs over 60,000 workers, and refusing to disavow the QAnon conspiracy theory.“
