Washington<a href="https://www.archysport.com/2022/01/campaign-appearance-trump-accuses-successor-biden-of-total-failure-our-country-is-being-destroyed/" title="Campaign appearance: Trump accuses successor Biden of total failure: "Our country is being destroyed"”>Kamala Harris has appeared in the Saturday Night Live and he’s acted like he’s been doing it all his life. She interpreted, with just the right amount of theater, the sentence in the script in which she had to reprimand her impersonator for making her laugh as if she wasn’t all there, she took the opportunity to sneak in “If you are not yet registered to vote in Pennsylvania.. .” and has been laughing and fit.
There are two days left in the campaign (on Tuesday, with the polls open, candidates can continue to travel the country asking for votes) and no one knows who will win.
That’s why Harris voters who are liberal Washington professionals or retirees with premium pensions will take an out-of-pocket plane this Monday to Milwaukee, Wis. indecisive), will act as observers at the polls and report any attempted cheating they can detect to Democratic Party lawyers. Some have been there for days, going door-to-door combing the list of registered Democratic voters to ask them, above all, to remember to go vote on Tuesday if they haven’t already.
Under the condition of anonymity, a former American diplomat tells me: “Of course I’m upset. We have to take Trump seriously.”
-In what sense?
-His victory would be a danger to democracy. I don’t mean that there won’t be an election in 2028, but we would lose a lot of sheets in this laundry. His tax cuts are tremendous for budgets, and if he raises tariffs by 50% or 60% all international trade will suffer.
– Can the United States withdraw from NATO?
-Not directly, but he wouldn’t need it to achieve similar effects. If Trump ends the war in Ukraine by forcing Zelenski to surrender, what can deprive Putin of daring with Poland or the Baltic republics? And in this Trump is not alone. There has always been an isolationist current in this country.
Carl Schonander is an ex-lobbyist of the technology industry who also does not dare to say who will win. “Tell your readers that elections are not a day, they are a process, because 60 million people have already voted in 50 separate elections with different rules depending on the state. There are states where you can register to vote on election day, just by proving with a receipt that you’ve lived in that state for more than 28 days. It’s so fair that both Harris and Trump could win the presidency without winning the popular vote. And be patient, because we won’t have the results on Wednesday morning.”
Few undecided
There are very few undecideds. The swing-voters they have disappeared Trump’s divisive politics and social media have locked voters into their respective bubbles of ideological comfort and it’s hard to convince anyone of anything. In the 1960s, a television reporter like Walter Cronkite went to Vietnam to do a report and when he came back he said that that war was unwinnable. They attribute to Johnson the phrase “If we have lost Cronkite, we have lost the war”. That’s why they called him “the most reliable man in America”. Today there is no news source shared by two corners that are already two sides.
At the same time, there are many voters who are nostalgic for the march of the economy in the first three years of Trump, before the pandemic. Instead, post-covid inflation has sunk so many economies that Harris could pay for it in defeat. Meanwhile, Biden, the only one who has defeated Trump, harbors his resentment towards the Obamas, who in 2016 maneuvered so that the candidate was Hillary Clinton. Now they have ended up improvising a candidate who has done better every day under the spotlight that was previously forbidden. That is why, until Tuesday itself, there is still a game.
