We
all know U.S media houses have party leanings, but they also have personal
leanings or favorite candidates within their parties, where their biases can be
self defeating. Since they are headed by humans, they are not above fear,
greed, and arrogance. The power of mainstream media is unquestionable, but
dwindling than many of them assume. They may speak and respect Truth than
Trump, but they still sadly lie. Above all, they sometimes play games with the
people, appealing to their fear, greed, and arrogance. In their own inadvertent
admissions, they said ‘people are largely voting Biden because they think he is
the one who can beat Trump’, or are told so?
The fear of Polls influenced people is very different from the love of
programs influenced people; the former can be controlled and deceived by the
media, but some will evolve and there is a natural price for cowards. In and
beyond the U.S, the Top four issues to contrast candidates are Justice, Health,
Education, and Foreign Affairs – of course, the money leaning folks may beg to
differ. Sanders outperforms both Biden and Trump on the mentioned four, even
among cowards, but some cowards think Sanders will destroy the economic, which
some people value more. The democratic leaning media are under estimating how
Trump may play out Biden’s weaknesses to win independents, convince some
democrats or keep them away for different reasons.
Justice:
Gauge which laws candidates plan to introduce and change, it may affect you or
someone you should not gamble and may never forgive you on ‘sins between
creatures’. The mindset of candidates about Justice should be studied and
analyzed beyond respecting the rule of law. The Executive have an influence on
the judiciary through appointing studied folks, blocking folks and laws for
changes, and introducing laws that are often likely to pass. Beside promises,
gauge candidates voting records where possible. For example, Sanders have not only promised to legalize
marijuana on ‘day one’, but he has condemned marijuana related injustices in
the strongest terms than any present and recent mainstream U.S politician.
Biden said, ‘we do not need a revolution’ on and beyond marijuana? Biden is
still echoing marijuana is a ‘gateway Drug’, despite all the latest scientific
and real life evidence that marijuana is closer to an ‘exit medicine’. So
millions of people are at the gate of hard drugs, but thousands are leaving
alcohol, cigarette, opioid, some dangerous pharmaceutical drugs, etc ? Trump
seemingly believes in medical marijuana, but doubting about recreational
marijuana. Although he partially failed on fulfilling marijuana promises,
imagine an action or stronger promise by Trump. Some polls claim over sixty
percent of Americans want marijuana legalized, myself and many others will
rather vote for an independent candidate than Biden, if he continue on his
standing. It is not because I think Biden can stop the marijuana momentum, but
because I understand conscientious voting and the test of our time. Just like
the vote of a law maker affects citizens, your vote affects others on judicial
matters and woe on to the indifferent. There are other issues of Justice where
Sanders outperforms Biden, and I promise to highlight some later.
Health:
Capitalism sadly over commercialized things and the U.S is the sad example of
refusing to repent. Some human needs should not be open to questionable
business folks, or should at least be regulated enough. The billions of dollars
people directly spent on health and indirectly spent through government
contributions, adds up towards who? Biden says, ‘we do not need a revolution’
on health and beyond? Since around 1991, Sanders was calling on Biden and his
cohorts to be more caring. Trump will attack Biden’s voting record than
sanders, on and beyond health. When Obama came, he had no choice, but to comply
and/or reduce the good Obama should have than wanted to do on and beyond
health? Biden is like a dangerous robot, who was explicitly dangerous as a
lawmaker, less so as vice president, and will be too dangerous as president.
What Sanders is proposing on health is very feasible as evident in many
countries, he just have to be brave enough to regulate the cost of the actual
products and services, or smartly open up the competition. Biden and Trump may
be very close on health, except Trump at least ‘believes in medical marijuana’.
Education:
Access to affordable quality education is one of the most essential
responsibilities of governments and parents. Like a good parent invests and
ascertains on education, so should good and great governments. Whereas the U.S
may not invest on education as in defense, the u.s does have many quality
educational institutes, but mainly for the rich. Like many things, the U.S
establishment over commercialized even health and education. They have created
direct and indirect loans for students, without enough guidance, and corrupt
investors unleashed against the poor who needs such loans. So over optimistic
youths sometimes abuse indirect loans, the none tuition related loans, plus
questionable interest rates. After graduation, family life and high taxes make
it hard for many to repay such loans. Biden says, ‘we do not need a revolution’
on and beyond education? Biden was reportedly among the guilty Democrats who
sided with the guilty Republicans to deny ‘bankruptcy option’ to student loans.
Imagine questionable millionaires and billionaires can file bankruptcy to keep
many assets, but poor folks who invested on education are denied the option of
bankruptcy by Biden, those like him, and those who vote for him? Even if
Sanders and Trump failed to sufficiently reveal the demonic aspects of Biden,
the spirits of his victims will
eventually hunt all who supported him.
Sanders rightly sympathizes with the poor on and beyond education, but
he may need a more realistic plan on education. Whereas healthcare for all may
work, because people do not get sick at once; education for all is great, but
should be regulated enough and eventually paid directly by the most direct
benefactor or their parents. Planned student housing, sensitization, and more
reasonable loan limits will be vital for
long term sustenance. For every thousand in hospitals, how many more
thousands are in higher learning institutions? Trump seems to be happy with the
injustices in U.S educational policies, built and nurtured by the Bidens and
cohorts.
Foreign
Affairs: In a global village, the foreign affairs mindset of even opposition
leaders of small countries like the Gambia is vital, much more the U.S, the
most powerful country on earth, at the moment. Journalists and voters often
under scrutinize the foreign affairs mindset of candidates, they focus on the
incumbent and on few issues. The social media
has made it possible for small countries to have a much stronger voice on how
the world sails, but it is often under utilized, especially by African leaders,
journalists, and ordinary citizens. The U.S have two main tools on foreign
affairs: Soft power (money or sanctions) and Hard Power (military bullying). So
you should gauge who leans more on soft or hard power on which issues? Since
they are tools, you have to gauge their mindsets on different other things.
Example, Biden says ‘LGBT rights will be his number one priority [in or outside
the U.S]’? Will he use soft or hard power to the defiant in or outside the U.S?
Biden believes in U.S dictatorship, but calls it ‘u.s leadership’. Biden
interfered in Ukraine’s judiciary, but claims ‘it was legal’, like slavery was
legal. So it is up to Sanders to strongly ask Americans was it conscientious,
or Trump will certainly ask it, with or without the senate’s investigations
against Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s son. If we OK foreign judiciary interference
if it is from the U.S, how can we condemn it if it is from Russia or an
internal pressure group? What kinds of precedents are we setting under the Just
God, who is testing who is best in character, ‘in exhorting each other to good
deeds and super good deeds (truth and patience) as per ch.103? Trump has the
‘Muslim ban’ and harder immigration stand, but less interfering in others’
countries. Sanders is not declaring much on foreign Affairs and not yet
questioned hard on it. I believe he will be better than both Trump and Biden,
but he may likely be worse on global trade, he focuses too much on u.s
interest, but will likely compromise when he sits. Like it is wrong for few
Americans to over own, it is also wrong for few countries to over own. We are
not asking for a hundred percent equal world, but there should be reasonable
difference for all who respect learning and working, in respect to money. The
Covid-19 is one example of how inter-dependent this world is, how fragile our
economies are, and why things like health,
education, and basic justice should not be seen as an individual’s issues or
even national issues, but universal
issues. The best route is neither soft or hard power, but strategic investments
for internal evolutions, not internal ruptures. May the Lord bless Showlove
