Eagle-Eyed is brilliant and on point.I love that piece.Say it’s good when it’s good,Kamal blundered big time and to make matters worse America is a racist country and that Eagle-Eyed cannot deny.
Crispin, while I agree with you on the economic issues, I think you failed to discuss the real issue that racism and sexism played in the outcome of this election. America was not prepared to elect a Black woman to the white house. Take a look at the cabinet picks, not one black person has been made a cabinet secretary or any position of power.
Everything has to be race for some people and even then very superficial thinking, Kamala was a bad candidate and was setup to fail by Biden’s selfishness. 3 months to prepare and run a campaign that would have been a handicap for even the best candidate – which she was not, she botched nearly every interview she did.
Hilary Clinton won the popular vote in 2016 so its not that a woman couldnt be elected. Obviously Barack Obama won but if Michelle Obama ran and she just kept a decent campaign she would likely win, even against Trump especially against Trump so its not about black either.
As for the cabinet picks they are not done yet, the republicans have no reason to do the performative race pandering picks but reality is America is a predominantly white country most picks in Dominica for government posts are black people what we going to complain that not enough kalinago, asian and white people are in our government? come out dere with your silly thinking.
@prodigal
Biden (of the Democratic Party), spent four years fuelling war in Ukraine, the Middle East and arming Taiwan to fight China. He forgot about America. Neither Biden nor Kamala ever had a chance of winning.
I listen to a lot of these pundits post Trump`s election victory over Kamala Harris. And they all seem to repeat the same mantra: economy, immigration, open borders, Haitians eating their dogs etc. they all seem to be ignoring the elephant in the room “Gaza” and America’s settler colonial project “Israel”. Kamala Harris should have separated herself from Biden’s pro Israel genocide enabling policy and call for an immediate halt to Israel’s industrial slaughter of Palestinian civilians, half of which comprised of innocent children. But she doubled down on Biden’s policies promising more unbroken dedication to Israel’s Zionist expansion ideology, at the expense of the Palestinians extinction from their own lands. The result of the election shows that Trump bid not receive more votes from his last failed attempt but Kamala was denied the votes of millions of voters who would have voted Democrat because of America’s and Joe Biden’s hand in this genocide. Just saying!
Look there will never be a U.S. politician who goes against Israel. That group of people (who btw are the only people in the world to have a literal ethnostate where people are granted citizenship solely by virtue of their ethnicity), are in almost complete control of the U.S. government, Trump included.
Look up how much money AIPAC donates to U.S. politicians. Trump got $100 million from The Adelson family. That country is the first thing on the agenda for EVERY U.S. politician, republican or democrat. The only ones who are not with the program are never even given a chance to get anywhere near power, people like Ron Paul.
At least with Trump he can fix stuff like the border and the economy. But the Israel issue will never be resolved until God himself returns
