Ubukhoboka, iMfazwe kunye nePolitiko kaMongameli

NguRobert C. Koehler, Iimpawu eziqhelekileyo

Njengoko ndibukele "umanyano" lubamba iQela leDemokhrasi kule veki, ikholwa kum lifuna ukulifaka i-bottom up.

Michelle Obama yavutha isihlwele. “Libali leli lizwe elo,” watsho. “Ibali elindibeke eqongeni ngobu busuku. Ibali lezizukulwana zabantu abaziva beva ubunzima bobukhoboka, ihlazo lobukhoboka, inxeba lokucalulwa, ababeqhubeka bezama, benethemba, yaye besenza oko kwakufuneka kwenziwe.”

Kwaye iQela eliKhulu lavula iingalo zalo.

Ukuze namhlanje, ndivuka rhoqo kusasa kwindlu eyakhiwe ngamakhoboka.

Amakhoboka?

Wowu. Ndikhumbula xa singathethi ngolu hlobo esidlangalaleni, ingakumbi kwiqonga lesizwe. Ukuvuma ubukhoboka - kwinqanaba elinzulu, kukho konke ukuziphatha okubi - kunzulu kakhulu kunokuvuma ubuhlanga, obunokunciphisa ukuziphatha kwabantu abangenalwazi. Kodwa ukuba imizimba yabantu kunye nemiphefumlo yabantu, ukulawula ngokupheleleyo ubomi bomntu kunye nobomi babantwana babo, kwakubhaliwe emthethweni. Kwaye ubunini obunjalo yayingumgaqo-siseko "welona lizwe likhulu emhlabeni," elizinze kuqoqosho, olwamkelwa ngabaseki abaSekiyo ngaphandle kwemibuzo ebuzwayo.

“Ayiyombali” kuphela le. Ayilunganga. Ngokwenene, iUnited States of America yaba nomphefumlo owonakeleyo. Leyo yayiyintsingiselo yamazwi kaMichelle Obama.

Kodwa hayi ngaphezulu, hayi ngaphezulu. Imigcobo engalawulekiyo awayifumanayo xa intetho yakhe iphela yabonakala ivuma umnqweno kawonke-wonke owawulibaziseke ixesha elide wokucamagushela. Sibe lilizwe elikwaziyo ukuvuma iimpazamo zalo kwaye lizilungise.

Kwaye ukukhetha uHillary Clinton njengomongameli-umyalezo uqhubekile-iyakuba linyathelo elongezelelweyo kolu hambo oluya kukulingana okupheleleyo kwabo bonke abantu. Iqela leDemocratic Party lifumene ubunye balo kwaye limele into ebalulekileyo.

Ukuba kuphela . . .

Ndingathatha inkalo yolwazi kuyo yonke le nto - amanqindi ampontshiweyo, ukugquma koloyiso, amazwi obungangamsha baseMelika aphuma kwintetho enye emva kwenye, nokuncitshiswa kwedemokhrasi okungapheliyo ukuya kwizibalo zomdyarho wamahashe - kodwa ndisekude ukuba ndikhwele i-bandwagon kaHillary. Kwaye nangona i-speter yokufihla i-Trumpenstein, ndihlala ndingaqiniseki ukuba kulo nyaka - yiza, ndoda, kulo nyaka - umgqatswa wobubi obuncinci nguye ekufuneka ndimvotele.

Kwaye andithethi kwanjengoBerniecrat ovukelayo.

Ngelixa ndihlala ndisothukile koko kuphunyezwe liphulo likaBernie Sanders kulo nyaka uphelileyo, noBernie akakayichazanga, kwaye uyasilela ukuquka, ukuzala koguquko oluqhubele phambili ugqatso lwakhe ngaphaya koko bekulindelwe.

“Ayiyomfihlo into yokuba mna noHillary asivumelani kwimibandela emininzi. Nantso ke into emalunga nedemokhrasi!” UBernie uthe ngobusuku bokuvula iNgqungquthela yeSizwe yeDemokhrasi, emi ngokuqinileyo kutshintsho lokwenyani lwezopolitiko nanjengoko wayefuna umanyano lweqela kwaye wavuma uHillary.

Kwakhona wathi: "Olu lonyulo lumalunga nokuphelisa amanqanaba aphezulu okungalingani kwengeniso" kwaye wabiza uhlaziyo olunzulu lweWall Street, ukugcinwa kweklasi ye-billionaire, ukufundiswa kweekholeji zamahhala kunye nokwandiswa kweenkqubo ezahlukeneyo zentlalo.

Oko wasilela ukuyibiza kukuba, ubuncinci, yingxoxo yeziphumo ezibi kunye neendleko zokopha kumatshini wemfazwe waseMelika, oyena nobangela uphambili wokuhlwempuzeka kwesizwe.

Into endiqinisekileyo ngayo yeyokuba uguquko olusungulwe nguSanders lusekelwe, ezintliziyweni zabaxhasi bakhe, ekugqithiseni imfazwe njengoko lusekelwe kubugwenxa besihogo sobuhlanga nobukhoboka. Oku kungalunganga akuyonxalenye yembali enzulu, eqala ekoyisweni nasekubulaweni kohlanga ngokuchasene nabemi belizwekazi lokuqala, kodwa iyaphila, izinzile ngokwezoqoqosho kwaye idala umonakalo kwiplanethi namhlanje. Kwaye asikwazi nokuthetha ngayo.

Kwisithuba sekota yenkulungwane edlulileyo, ii-neocons kunye nabezomkhosi-bemizi-mveliso bayoyisile iVietnam Syndrome kunye nenkcaso yoluntu kwimfazwe, befezekisa ukuqina kwemfazwe engapheliyo.

"Kwakukho inkcaso enkulu kwiMfazwe yokuQala yeGulf - iiseneta ezingama-22 kunye neereps eziyi-183 zabotela ngokuchasene nayo, kubandakanya uSanders - kodwa akwanelanga ukumisa imatshi ukuya emfazweni," UNicolas JS Davies wabhala ngo-Oktobha ophelileyo kwi-Huffington Post. “Imfazwe yaba ngumzekelo weemfazwe ezikhokelwa yi-US kwixesha elizayo kwaye yasebenza njengomboniso wokuthengisa kwisizukulwana esitsha sezixhobo zase-US. Emva kokuphatha uluntu kwiividiyo ezingapheliyo zebhombu 'yeebhombu ezikrelekrele' ezenza 'uqhankqalazo,' amagosa ase-US ekugqibeleni avuma ukuba izixhobo 'ezichanekileyo' yayiyi-7 ekhulwini kuphela yeebhombu kunye nemijukujelwa ewela e-Iraq. Abanye babeyibhombu yebhombu yakudala, kodwa ukubulawa kwabantu abaninzi base-Iraqis kwakungeyonxalenye yephulo lokuthengisa. Xa uqhushumbo luyekile, abaqhubi beenqwelomoya base-US bayalelwa ukuba babhabhe ngqo besuka eKuwait baye kwiParis Air Show, kwaye kwiminyaka emithathu elandelayo babeka iirekhodi ezintsha zokuthunyelwa kwezixhobo zase-US. . . .

"Okwangoku, amagosa ase-US enze iindlela ezintsha zokusebenzisa umkhosi wase-US ukubeka isiseko seemfazwe ezizayo."

Kwaye ibhajethi yomkhosi kaBarack Obama yeyona inkulu. Xa ujonga yonke inkcitho enxulumene nomkhosi, uDavies uthi, iindleko zonyaka zomkhosi wase-US zingaphezulu kwetriliyoni yeedola.

Phambi kokuba ixabiso lale nkcitho lijongwe, ubunyani bayo kufuneka buvunywe. Kwaye akukho mgqatswa kamongameli ngaphandle kwesibindi sokwenza oku ubuncinane - vula ingxoxo malunga neendleko kunye nemiphumo yemfazwe - ifanele ivoti yam, okanye yakho.
