Nate: A true Believer in Kamala Harris ability to lead the US in tough times
(looking at the camera)
You ever think you’ve really messed something up? Like... you thought you had your life together and then—boom—world war breaks out. You’re just sitting there on the couch, watching the news, and it’s like, "Oh, this is my fault."
(gesturing to the TV)
Look at this—this is a disaster. Nuclear missiles flying everywhere, people raiding grocery stores, traffic is a nightmare, and I'm over here with this—(holds up his bowl of cereal)—thinking, “How did I get here?”
(pause)
I’ll tell you how. It's because I didn’t vote for Kamala Harris.
(stares deadpan, shakes head)
I know. I know. I should’ve done it. Should've gone out there and cast my vote. I was like, "Eh, she seems fine, but I dunno... I’ve got things to do." And now look. Look what happened.
(beat)
You ever get that feeling when you realize you didn’t do something and now it’s too late? Like when you realize you didn’t set the DVR and now you can’t watch the show you wanted? But this... this is a little bigger. It's not just missing your favorite show. This is... World War III. And it’s my fault.
(pause, more serious)
I remember in 2020... Kamala Harris was out there, talking about how we need to handle things. There were people saying, “She’s not ready. She’s not the one.” And I was like, "Eh, I dunno, she’s a little too ambitious for me." I went with... uh... well, you know who I went with.
(beat, looks away)
But now, I just wanna get on the phone and apologize. Like, I imagine Kamala’s out there, like, "I told y’all this was gonna happen." And I'm sitting here in my living room, holding a bowl of cereal like an idiot, thinking, “I should’ve put my trust in her.”
(leans back into couch, thinking)
You ever regret not making one decision? Like when you ate that slice of pizza you found and now, an hour later, you’re like, “That was a bad move.” But this time, it’s not pizza. It’s the entire world falling apart.
(pause, dramatically)
I feel like we’re in one of those dystopian movies where everyone’s just staring at each other, and I’m the guy who’s just like... "You know, if we’d just listened to Kamala, we wouldn’t be in this mess." Everyone else is like, "Shut up, Nate. We’re about to be bombed." But no, I'm right. You should’ve voted for her. You don’t realize it until the world’s on fire, and you’re like, “Dang, I missed the one chance to prevent this.”
(pause, looking around the room)
I’m in the middle of a war, and I’m thinking, "Man, it would’ve been so much easier if we’d just, like, voted right."
(pause, nodding)
I’m not even sure if Kamala would’ve fixed it, but I feel like she’d have had a plan. Like, maybe she would’ve been on the phone with other leaders like, "Alright, here’s the deal. You stop launching missiles, I’ll make sure everybody gets free healthcare, how’s that sound?" And I’m over here like, “Uhh, should I be stocking up on canned goods?”
(shrugs)
I think what happened is, I just didn’t take it seriously. I figured it’s one of those things that’ll blow over. Like when your WiFi goes out for 10 minutes, and you’re like, "Eh, it'll fix itself." But the WiFi is now the entire planet. The planet's down, and I’m like, "I guess I should’ve done my part."
(beat, shrugs)
I could’ve voted. I didn’t vote. I could’ve prevented it. But I didn't. And now, here I am, holding this bowl of cereal like it’s gonna save me.
(pause -- camera zooms in on the cereal and it is got worms and maggots floating in the milk)
I should’ve voted. That’s all I’m saying. Maybe if we all just voted for her, we wouldn’t be here right now.
(sighs, looking around)
But I didn’t. And now... (pauses, gesturing to the chaos outside) this is my reality.
(beat, a little more upbeat)
Well, at least I got cereal.
