The choice in the American presidential election couldn’t be easier. On one side stands a prosecutor who has devoted her life to helping the American people, who offers her opponents opponents a seat at the table, campaigns with republicans and vows to bring republicans into her administration. A person who works tirelessly against racism, women’s rights to decide over their own bodies and LGBTQ+ rights. On the other side a convicted felon, failed businessman and life long grifter that constantly spews out hateful speech against minorities, women, the LGBTQ+ community and the disabled, who praise dictators, threatens to prosecute opponents and to pull the license from TV stations he doesn’t approve of and who has devoted his life to enriching himself and the super rich.
When those are the choices, how on earth could the election be a tossup? And how is it possible that a man who has filed for bankruptcy six times and raised the American National Debt with $7.8 trillion during his last term is considered by many to be better at looking after the nation’s finances?
Maybe the American voters should listen to the people that knows Trump best like John Kelly, the former Marine general and Trump’s chief of staff, who labeled Trump as a “fascist” and criticized his admiration for authoritarian leaders. Or Mark Milley, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who described Trump as “fascist to the core” and a threat to democracy.
The world holds their breath waiting for the results of the election, fearing the worst and hoping for the best. The choice really shouldn’t be that difficult.
