Beyond the U.S Elections
Beyond the U.S. Elections "Congratulations Kamala Harris on becoming President of the United States," "Kamala Harris, the first woman to lead the United States," or "Democratic candidate Kamala Harris wins against..." — these could be the headlines in November 2024, albeit with different phrasing. But why such a prediction? Expecting Biden to withdraw from the presidential race only required foresight, courage, and an impartial assessment of the future — qualities Biden, the seasoned politician, possesses. He aimed to end his political career in a way that history would remember as putting the country's interests ahead of his own. This, despite increasing calls for him to step down due to concerns about his declining health and doubts about his ability to serve another four years, as well as the fierce attacks from Trump on both his character and policies. The Democratic Party's policies are incompatible with the Republican mindset, which leans towards unbridled capitalism, an implicit bias towards European-origin Catholic racism, and a dominance over non-white races both within the U.S. and globally. The Republican Party also favors international political and economic domination, which Trump amplified by adding a utilitarian approach, pressuring other parties based on hidden weaknesses to serve U.S. interests without needing to put them on the negotiating table. The Republican Party also offers unwavering support for Israel, whether for ideological reasons or to secure the backing of Zionist lobbying groups within the U.S., which influence various political and economic spheres. These groups have significant media control, playing a key role in shaping public opinion in the U.S. and abroad, even if it means distorting facts to suit the narrative presented to the American public and the world. Any attempt to challenge this narrative is met with fierce counterattacks, as demonstrated by the American media’s portrayal of the Gaza war, where Hamas was accused of killing children, beheading them, assaulting women, and killing the sick. This narrative persisted, even when French newspapers like Le Monde exposed the falsity of Israeli videos, which the American media continued to validate. On the other hand, the Democratic Party focuses on social welfare, free competition, combating monopolies, creating jobs in an open market, and embracing all elements of American society, blending them into a unified force to strengthen the U.S. It also emphasizes, at least outwardly, freedom, equality, democracy, and working with international organizations to promote peace and cooperation between nations — which ultimately serve American values and culture, promoting the "American Dream" to the world. Trump made a critical mistake before the 2020 U.S. elections by revealing his inclination to amend the U.S. Constitution to give more power to the president at the expense of other institutions. But what really cost him was his attempt to influence the 2020 election results by inciting his supporters to storm the Capitol. This act shocked both the American public and its institutions, which hold judicial independence and majority rule sacred. The deep state in the U.S. fears any move toward presidential authoritarianism, a sentiment that will haunt Trump in the upcoming race. In foreign affairs, Trump and Biden hold opposing views on both the Russian-Ukrainian war and the Gaza conflict. Harris, aligning with Biden, shares a similar, if not sharper, strategic vision, though she cannot openly express it for electoral reasons. Trump claims that the Russia-Ukraine war would not have happened had he been president, and believes Europe should bear a larger burden in supporting Ukraine, both financially and militarily. His utilitarian approach seeks to pressure Europe into facing Russia, China, and North Korea, ensuring that the U.S. doesn't have to stand alone against their ambitions. Regarding the Gaza conflict, Biden has placed responsibility on Hamas for failing to reach a ceasefire agreement. Trump, however, during a June 2024 debate, openly supported Netanyahu's stance, stating that Israel doesn’t want to end the war until Hamas is eliminated, and that this is Israel’s right. This is a crucial point for Harris, who has affirmed the U.S.'s commitment to Israel’s security, though she has been careful not to express her concerns about Netanyahu's broader agenda of expanding the conflict to include Iran, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Hamas. Historically and religiously, Arab nations — in contrast to their governments — sympathize with Hamas and the Palestinian cause in their fight against Israeli occupation. Israel's rhetoric about the Iranian threat only resonates with Arab regimes seeking to maintain U.S. support. Harris's true position may become more apparent after securing the presidency, though any shift is expected to be measured, based on domestic U.S. balances. It’s anticipated that she will push for an immediate end to the Gaza war, especially as American university students increasingly reject Israel’s policies and the outdated religious claims of eternal rights to the "Promised Land." Additionally, young Arabs, with their modern methods of thinking and communication, are more adept at conveying the Arab perspective on the Palestinian cause to Western audiences through social media, countering the previously unchallenged narrative shaped by Zionist media. On the economic front, Trump seeks to intervene in Federal Reserve decisions regarding interest rates, bank reserves, liquidity, and tariffs, particularly on Chinese goods. In contrast, Harris supports policies that encourage housing demand, set price caps on food products, expand tax deductions, and reduce federal taxes. In conclusion, the American voter currently leans toward the Democratic platform, which emphasizes social welfare and healthcare, promising greater everyday well-being. This is part of Harris's campaign, which stresses reducing unemployment and expanding healthcare rather than spending on border walls and anti-immigration laws championed by Trump. This approach is gaining traction with the middle class, who are likely to throw their support behind her.

In our modern world, meeting the expectations of those around us, working tirelessly to the point of insanity, and racing towards the next big goal are all highly valued.
