Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Kamala vs Trump
Kamala is Afro-Asian. She can
proudly claim her Indian and African
heritage. What is wrong with that? She is
a "woman of color", as they say,
anyhow you flip the coin.
Having said that, let me also say
that she is probably a neocon and
even a ziocon and in my political
dictionary that is a negative trait.
believe in American exceptionalism,
and think that they have some
inherent right to rule the world.
Some are still in the Cold War
so, to instigate wars, beef up
the military-industrial complex,
and then blame the other party.
The main reason why I will vote
for her is because she is not
Trump. Someone said that he will
vote for a ham sandwich right
now just in order to keep
Trump out😃.I would n't go
While in office, Trump deployed
the world's largest bomb in Syria;
assassinated Suleiman of Iran;
encouraged a man named Guaido
to declare himself the Venezuelan
leader; sent a band of miscreants
to Venezuelan shores; played
the nepotistic game of having his
daughter and son-in-law in the
White House; hosted foreign
leaders in his private hotel in
violation of ethical rules;
masterminded an insurrection
at home; and instigated anti-
Chinese, anti-African and
KKK rhetoric, domestically.
He may probably encourage
negotiations in Ukraine, a point
in his favor, but he no doubt would
totally annihilate Palestine.
I am not sure of what Kamala
would do but by preventing
speak at the convention they
sent out some negative vibes.
By trying to convince Covid
patients to drink bleach Trump
displayed his idiocy. BTW, If
anyone thinks that that is the mark
of someone with a high IQ,
they should check their own.
Both democrats and republicans
are somewhat distasteful, but
one is definitely worse than the
other. Relatively speaking
in terms of domestic politics,
democrats are more caring,
less misogynistic, less racist
and definitely more aware of
the need to offer social safety
nets. Their foreign policy is
militaristic, belligerent and
callous, however, and the killing
of unarmed civilians abroad,
going to a wedding party, is
day of fun and video games.
