UJane nami ngifuna ukuthatha leli thuba ukukufisa wena futhi ube nomnyaka omusha onempilo futhi ujabule kakhulu.

Akusho ngaphandle kokuthi i-2019 izoba yisikhathi esibaluleke kakhulu futhi esiphuthumayo sezwe lethu nonke iplanethi. Njengoba uyazi, kukhona ukungqubuzana okuvelele okwenzeka manje phakathi kwemibono emibili yezepolitiki ehlukene. Akungakutholi ukwethuka, kodwa ikusasa lezwe lethu nezwe lixhomeke kuloluphi uhlangothi olwinawo lo mzabalazo.

Izindaba ezimbi ukuthi e-United States nakwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba, izisekelo zentando yeningi zihlaselwa kakhulu njengoba izidemokhrasi, ezisekelwa yi-oligarchs yezigidigidi, zisebenzela ukusungula imibuso yezinhlobo ezigunyazayo. Lokhu kuyiqiniso eRussia. Lokhu kuyiqiniso e-Saudi Arabia. Lokhu kuyiqiniso e-United States. Ngenkathi abacebile bezuza kakhulu lezi zikhulu zifuna ukusishukumisela ukuba sibheke enkampanini futhi sibeke iqembu elilodwa ngokumelene nomunye, sibheke ukunakwa ezimpikisweni zangempela esibhekene nazo.

Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi, kulo lonke leli zwe, abantu bahlanganyele kwezombusazwe futhi balwa. Bamelela ubulungiswa bezomnotho, ezombusazwe, ezenhlalo kanye nobuhlanga.

Ngonyaka odlule sabona othisha abanesibindi, kwezinye zezifunda ezithinteka kakhulu kuleli zwe, zishaya impi njengoba zilwa nemali eyanele yemfundo.

Sibone abasebenzi abakhokha imali e-Amazon, Disney nakwezinye izindawo benza impumelelo ephumelelayo yokukhulisa inkokhelo yabo emiholo ephilayo - okungenani i-$ 15 ngehora.

Sibone intsha enesibindi esinesibindi, eyathola ukudubula esikoleni sayo, ihola imizamo ephumelelayo yemithetho yezokuphepha ye-gun.

Sibone imiphakathi ehlukene ehlangene ekulwa nokuboshwa kwabantu kanye nokuguqulwa kwamacala wobulungiswa obuqotho.

Sibone amashumi ezinkulungwane zamaMelika, kuzo zonke izindlela zokuphila, sithatha ezitaladini futhi sifuna ukuthi osopolitiki baphendule ubunzima bomhlaba wonke bokushintsha kwesimo sezulu.

Njengoba singena ku-2019, kubonakala sengathi kufanele sibeke isikhubekiso esinezintambo ezimbili. Okokuqala, kumelwe sithathe amanga ngokuqamba amanga, ukuhlukumezeka kanye nokuziphatha kleptocratic komongameli ongenakuziphendulela emlandweni wanamuhla wezwe lethu. Konke okusemandleni, kufanele sibhekane nokucwasa ubuhlanga, ubulili, ukuzonda abantu, ukucwaswa kwabantu kanye nokungahambisani nenkolo kwezokuphathwa kweTrump.

Kodwa ukulwa kwe-Trump akwanele.

Iqiniso liwukuthi naphezu kokuntuleka kwemisebenzi ephansi, amashumi ezinkulungwane zabantu baseMelika bazama ukuzama ukugcina amakhanda abo ngaphezu kwamanzi ngokwezomnotho njengoba isigaba esiphakathi siqhubeka sinciphisa.

Ngenkathi abacebile bezuza ngokucebile, izigidi ezingu-40 zihlala ebumpofu, izigidi zabasebenzi ziphoqeleka ukuba zisebenze imisebenzi emibili noma emithathu ukukhokha izikweletu, izigidi ezingu-30 zingenayo umshuwalense wezempilo, eyodwa kwayisishiyagalolunye ayikwazi ukukhokhela izidakamizwa zabo zemithi, cishe isigamu sabasebenzi abadala akukho lutho olulondoloziwe ngokuthatha umhlalaphansi, abantu abasha abakwazi ukukhokhela ekolishi noma ukushiya esikoleni ngokujulile esikweletini, izindlu ezingabizi kakhulu ziba nzima, futhi abaningi abadala bahlehlise izidingo eziyisisekelo njengoba behlala ezingenile zokuhlola i-Social Security.

Ngakho-ke, umsebenzi wethu awugcini nje ukuphikisa iTrump kodwa ukuletha i-ajenda eqhubekayo futhi ethandwayo ekhuluma nezidingo zangempela zabantu abasebenza. Kumelwe sitshele iWall Street, izinkampani zomshuwalense, izinkampani zezidakamizwa, imboni yamanzi, imishini yezimboni, i-National Rifle Association nezinye izithakazelo ezikhethekile ezingenakuqhubeka nokuvumela ukuhaha kwazo ukubhubhisa leli zwe iplanethi.

Izombangazwe ngentando yeningi akufanele kube nzima. Uhulumeni kumele asebenze kubo bonke abantu, hhayi nje abacebile nabanamandla. Njengoba iNdlu entsha neSenate zihlangana ngesonto elizayo, kubalulekile ukuthi abantu baseMelika bavuke futhi bafune izixazululo zangempela ezinkampanini ezinkulu ezomnotho, ezenhlalakahle, ngokobuhlanga nezokungcola esizibhekana nazo. Ezweni elicebile kakhulu emlandweni wezwe, nansi ezinye (kude nakho konke) zezinkinga engizozigxila kulo nyaka. Ucabangani? Singasebenzisa kanjani kangcono ukusebenza ndawonye?

Vikela intando yeningi yaseMelika: Repeal Citizens United, dlulela ekuxhasweni ngemali ngumphakathi okhethweni futhi uqede ukucindezelwa kwabavoti nokusetshenziswa kwamakhemikhali. Inhloso yethu kumele kube ukusungula uhlelo lwezepolitiki olunabantu abaningi kakhulu abavotayo emhlabeni futhi olulawulwa ngumgomo wentando yeningi womuntu oyedwa - ivoti elilodwa.

Thatha isigaba sababhiliyoni: Qeda i-oligarchy nokukhula kwemali engenayo enkulu nokungalingani ngokunotha ngokufuna ukuthi abacebile baqale ukukhokha isabelo sabo esifanele sentela. Kumele sihlehlise ikhefu lentela likaTrump losozigidigidi nokuvala izikhala zentela ezinkampani.

Ukwandisa Imali: Ukukhulisa umholo omncane ku-$ 15 ngehora, ukusekela abesifazane ukulingana nokukhokhela inhlangano yezinyunyana. E-United States, uma usebenza amahora we-40 ngesonto, akufanele uphile ebuphofu.

Yenza ukunakekelwa kwempilo kulungile: Isiqiniseko sokunakekelwa kwempilo kubo bonke abantu ngokusebenzisa uhlelo lweMedare-for-all. Asikwazi ukuqhubeka nesistimu yokunakekelwa kwezempilo engasebenzi kahle esithatha cishe ngamanani angaphezu kwamanye amazwe njenganoma yiliphi elinye izwe elikhulu futhi ishiya izigidi ezingu-30 ezingagunyaziwe.

Shintsha uhlelo lwethu lwamandla: Ukulwa nenkinga yomhlaba wonke yokushintsha kwesimo sezulu esivele ibangela umonakalo omkhulu emhlabeni wethu. Kule nqubo, singakha izigidi zemisebenzi ekhokha kahle njengoba sishintsha uhlelo lwethu lwamandla kude ne-fuel fuels kanye nokusebenza kahle kwamandla namandla okusimamisa.

Yakha kabusha i-America: Dlulisa uhlelo lwezingqalasizinda ze-1 trillion. E-United States akumelwe siqhubeke sinemigwaqo, amabhuloho, izinhlelo zamanzi, ezokuthutha izitimela, kanye nezindawo zezindiza.

Imisebenzi yabo bonke: Kunomsebenzi omkhulu okwenziwe ezweni lonke - kusukela ekwakheni izindlu ezithengekayo nezikole ekunakekeleni izingane zethu nasebekhulile. Eminyakeni eyi-75 edlule, i-FDR yakhuluma ngesidingo sokuqinisekisa wonke umuntu onamandla kuleli zwe umsebenzi omuhle njengelungelo eliyisisekelo. Lokho kwakuyiqiniso ku-1944. Kuyiqiniso nanamuhla.

Quality Education: Yenza izifundo zekholeji zomphakathi nezikole zamabanga aphansi mahhala, izikweletu zabafundi abaphansi, ukukhokhela ngokugcwele imfundo yomphakathi nokuthuthela ukunakekelwa kwezingane emhlabeni jikelele. Eminyakeni eminingi kakhulu edlule, i-United States yayinehlelo eliphezulu kakhulu lemfundo emhlabeni. Siphinde sithole leso simo futhi.

Ukuphepha Komhlalaphansi: Nweba Ukuvikeleka Komphakathi ukuze wonke umuntu waseMelika angathatha umhlalaphansi ngesithunzi futhi wonke umuntu onokukhubazeka angaphila ngokuphepha. Abaningi asebekhulile, abakhubazekile nabadala bezilwane baphila ngemali enganele. Kumelwe senze kangcono kulabo abakha leli zwe.

Amalungelo abesifazane: Ungowesifazane, hhayi uhulumeni, okufanele alawulwe umzimba wakhe. Kumelwe siphikise yonke imizamo yokuqothula i-Roe v. Wade, sivikele i-Planned Parenthood futhi siyaphikisana nemithetho yombuso yokuvimbela ukukhipha isisu.

Ubulungiswa Kubo Bonke: Ukuqeda ukuboshwa kwabantu bese uphazamisa ushintsho olunzulu lobugebengu. Akufanele sisebenzise imali eyi-$ 80 ngonyaka ngokuvala abantu abaningi kunanoma yiliphi elinye izwe. Kumelwe sibeke imali emfundweni nasemisebenzini, hhayi emajele kanye nasetilongweni.

Izinguquko ezihambelana nokufuduka kwamanye amazwe: Kuyinto engenangqondo futhi engapheli ukuthi izigidi zabantu abasebenza kanzima, abaningi babo abaye bahlala kuleli lizwe amashumi eminyaka, besaba ukuxoshwa. Kufanele sinikeze isimo sezomthetho kulabo abasesimweni se-DACA, futhi indlela yokuba yisakhamuzi kubangakabhalwanga.

Ubulungiswa Komphakathi: Ukuqeda ukubandlulula okusekelwe ebuhlanga, ubulili, inkolo, indawo yokuzalwa noma ukuziphatha ngokocansi. I-Trump ayivunyelwe ukuphumelela ngokusihlukanisa. Kumelwe simile ndawonye njengabantu abodwa.

Inqubomgomo entsha yangaphandle: Ake sidale inqubomgomo yangaphandle ngokusekelwe ekuthuleni, ngentando yeningi namalungelo abantu. Ngesikhathi esichitha okuningi empini kunamazwe ayishumi alandelayo ahlanganisiwe, kudingeka sibheke ngokungathí sina ukuguqula isabelomali se-Pentagon sonyaka we-Pentagon kanye nokulahlekelwa imali.

NgoNyaka Omusha, masizimisele ukulwa njengoba singakaze silwe ngaphambili kukahulumeni, umphakathi nomnotho osebenza kithi sonke, hhayi nje labo abaphezulu.

Ngifisa unyaka omuhle omusha,

UBernie Sanders
