The world stage will not be the same again

Dear Editor,
We are seeing a revolution in American Politics like never before.
The American voters are beginning to realize that they never had much of a choice in their democracy. Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump proved that America is truly divided and is disgusted by the status quo.
However, now that the candidates have been selected we are left pondering and scratching our heads. On one hand, you have a woman who is not really a true reflection of the woman struggle since she have a distinct track record of driving the agenda of the “good old boys club” and more so on the world stage, with her role in the “Arab Spring”, Benghazi, Corruption in Clinton Foundation and of course, the emails.
And on the other hand, we have the worst thing to show its head since Governor Wallace from the “Jim Crow” era. An era where we saw the southern states pushed aggressively to keep the blacks oppressed with no intention to release its noose from the necks of black people.
Narcissism, Ego, Machiavellian, Racial, Fear, Con are just some of the words that fairly sum up who Trump is.
I truly feel the disappointment of Sanders supporters, because I believe they are the future of a good America, an America that understands how to bridge the divide and pave the way for our children to secure a good standard of living that’s inclusive and multicultural in a genuine way.
On the international scene, the world is at a loss of words on what exactly is going on in the USA and is not sure what to make of this madness that America calls a “Democracy”. These countries must be wondering if this is the democracy that America has been exporting and enforcing on others for over eight decades, leaving bloodshed and despair in its path.
But we must not lose focus on what the outcome may be, because believe it or not, our future around the globe will depend on what happens next. Regardless of the outcome of this election, the world stage will not be the same again.
If Hillary wins, you can be sure that there will be many more Arab Springs coming to a neighborhood near you. And if Trump wins, his pure arrogance and stupidity will generate flash wars and conflicts that will create instability on a gigantic scale.
Now let’s watch the show!
