Now I know how to articulate that thought I have but couldn't name. Our HUMANITY is on the line.

Mr Porter, thank you for your words which should be shouted from the rooftops and highest mountains in our great country. Much respect...

I've voted every 2 years since I was 18--4+ decades. If you don't vote you have no stake or right to complain. Thanks for reminding us Billy Porter. It's the bare minimum. Vote for Joy and democracy !

[mareMjpt]

Billy Porter you are carrying the debate fully. Brilliant.

[ElegantlyYours]

Billy Porter 🎯💯 Every. Thing. He. Said! 💯 Vote! 💙🇺🇸

[denisehumphrey]

I needed to hear his logical reasoning. He was on point!!!!

[MrMisuma]

In a healthy country, the polls shouldn’t be this close.

[patrickkaye]

You go, Billy Porter! What he said is what ALL media should be saying. Network tv stations shouldn't even be selling air time for Frump campaign ads.

Love this! Not only is Billy Porter a delight to watch, but he really brings the drama and inspiration to the battle.

[veronicaclark]

Great job!! Hope is the word and standing on it🙏🏿

[epochchange]

Billy Porter is spot on. This election has to be partisan, that is vote blue up and down the ballot! Once we win, then we can look at compromising with republicans. But now is not the time to compromise!

[grannydharmony]

I love Billy Porter! He's great in every way!

Billy, thank you. Speaking TRUTH. Wish everyone was. Thanks to The Weekend Show for this segment. This is increasingly my fave show on this network.

[haletparnther]

Billy Porter is speaking facts and truth. I hope that all you, Americans are listening

[raymond]

Dems need to get this guy on every channel. As much as possible. What a democratic spokesman.

[Linda-tzos]

Thank you Billy. I can't understand why this is a difficult choice either. Vote Blue! Vote Democracy! Vote Freedom!

[MaryDoe-wrmu]

The word I needed to hear. It’s partisan for me today and for the next 30 years 🎉🎉🎉

[NovaRuner]

Up front I am going to say that I am a Canadian, so call me an outside observer.

Having said that… form my point of view, Miss Harris is a saint who is all about freedom, and democracy, and helping the common people! On the other side you have Mr Trump may as well be a villain who seems to stand for corruption, absolute power, and condemning anyone he doesn’t like.

I first read ‘The Rise And Fall Of The Third Reich’ when it was published in paperback in ‘63. I began protesting the Vietnam War in ‘67. I have never backed away from my perspective. Harris/Walz has my vote, and Blue all down the ticket. I’m 77 and I want US to go on as a wonderful meeting point country where we can all be the best we can be, where we can enjoy many traditions, foods, music and ideas. Let’s get it done. Into the 21st Century. We’re NOT going BACK!
