Some Political Thoughts Post Election

 


I don't consider myself a political person, but here I go.

  • In my opinion backlash against Biden was a major reason Trump won.  Kamala could not answer the questions of how she would differ from Biden
  • Biden should have dropped out in late 2023 allowing for a primary season where several candidates could have run for the nomination.  I can't think of anyone else besides California Governor Gavin Newsome who would have run.  Many Democrats may have felt that there should have been a choice.  Kamala's truncated campaign likely hurt her chances.
  • To quote a Bob Dylan song title "I Pity the Poor Immigrant", only a few migrants are criminals.  These people who crossed the border are seeking out a better life.  The migrants should not be demonized, but they have put stress on New York City's resources.
  • I am afraid that Trump will cut aid to Ukraine so that his buddy Putin will eventually take over the country.
Let's hope for the best.
