John Oliver is doing a hell of a lot more to help than internet self-styled "revolutionary leftists" are.

I don't disagree on that. He has quite an audience and therefore influence and budget to do stuff and he does great stuff. Many Social Democrats can learn from him. I don't criticize him but at the end of the day he's a Left Liberal which is my favorite kind of liberal. But he won't fundamentally change the system.

I have a different perspective on him since I live in Europe. Many things he wants are no brainers for me (like universal healthcare, how is that not normal in a rich country). Still I live in a liberal, capitalist democracy just like the US, just degrees better.
