American voters are confused: Trump or Harris?
At the moment, the Americans are facing a difficult choice . During the election process, most Muslims are forced to choose "one of two evils" . Some activists are urging voters not to vote for the two candidates - Donald Trump from the Republicans and Kamala Harris from the Democrats , but instead to support the candidate of the Green Party . Today, we can observe that English-speaking Muslim activists are promoting this idea in their speeches on social networks . So why is it that so many of the US population, both Republicans and Democrats , are reluctant to vote for the nominee, and are encouraging others to do so?
Such incidents are not new in US elections. Even if we look at the history we understand that the Americans faced certain difficulties in this regard . It is no exaggeration to say that the current rivalry between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris is a continuation of this .
Many believe that US foreign policy, especially war and peace issues, should be the most important criteria for choosing a president. Respect for civil liberties should come second. Taking these criteria into account , neither Trump nor Harris have high scores .
Many supporters of realism and compromise still follow the illusion that Trump will conduct a prudent and prudent foreign policy in the future . It is not surprising that Trump formed such perceptions about himself because he criticized the actions of George Bush and Barack Obama in the 2016 elections to fully manage third world countries. During his presidency, it became clear that Trump's foreign policy was almost no different from that of his colleagues . Perhaps, it would be more correct to say that his position in relation to Iran and China has become more severe. For example, Trump proudly highlighted the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani by his administration.
Moreover, despite the Democratic Party and its allies in the media portraying the former president as a puppet of Russian leader Vladimir Putin, US policy toward Russia has become more strident in the Trump White House .
However, those who hope that Harris will conduct a more moderate foreign policy may be more "naive" than supporters of realism and restraint who support Trump. After all, isn't he the second person of the administration supporting the bloody war in Palestine and Ukraine !? In the process, Washington weakened the EU's economy and antagonized forces that refused to join NATO's campaign against Russia. In particular, the full complicity of the Biden administration in Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinians is a major concern of the United States in the world. seriously damage his reputation .
Harris has also previously criticized Trump for even being willing to talk to Putin, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un or other autocrats. However, even at the height of the Cold War, US leaders negotiated with Soviet officials. Today, a number of major crises (including the tension on the Korean Peninsula) may become acute due to the refusal of the United States to negotiate .
Even more troubling , Harris is seen as the representative of an administration that has gone to great lengths to silence and harass political critics, particularly foreign policy critics. Sometimes these actions were carried out openly and rudely.
In any case, the Biden-Harris administration has put a chill on debate and dissent that has not been seen since the days of Sen. Joe McCarthy in the 1950s.
And Trump is openly showing his authoritarian tendencies. He does not hide his revenge on his political opponents, who organized a number of court cases against him. At one point, Trump even said he was willing to be a " dictator for a day " to implement important parts of his political agenda.
Thus, voters this year A difficult choice awaits . It is especially difficult to predict whether Trump or Harris will ensure peace in foreign policy and freedom of citizens in domestic policy .
