Expensive editor,
As a homosexual black Jamaican with Haitian-American kinfolk I wished a unique outcome on November 5. Nonetheless, regardless of the optimistic vitality generated by Harris’ historic run I felt that she wouldn’t win. Paradoxically, her largest hurdles weren’t her race or gender. It was the American Dream.
In lots of different democracies the a number of convictions and vulgarities of the re-elected President would have doomed him. However there may be one fact about American politics, which was summarized by John Steinbeck a long time in the past, “Socialism by no means took root in America as a result of the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat however as quickly embarrassed millionaires.” So, People voted for the convicted felon who promised to make them wealthy with obscure “ideas of a plan.”
In the meantime, Harris’ detailed plan to develop the center class merely didn’t seize the creativeness of ample People as a result of most of them don’t wish to be center class. They wish to be millionaires. Nobody believes that each American is usually a millionaire, however many need the possibility to develop into one. That’s the reason lotteries are so common.
Harris’ opponent was a billionaire with a well-documented historical past of exploiting his staff. Many of the billionaires who assist him have comparable anti-labour proclivities. But, hundreds of thousands of working-class People, even report numbers of Latinos whom he repeatedly vilified, have been keen to again him for the promise of untold riches. That’s their American dream. Sadly, there are quite a few historic examples of how the sort of satan’s discount has develop into a nightmare.
Yours actually,
Maurice Tomlinson
