Ubugqila, Impi kanye Nepolitiki Yomongameli

NguRobert C. Koehler, Izimangaliso Ezivamile

Ngenkathi ngibuka “ubumbano” bubamba i-Democratic Party kuleli sonto, okholwa kimi ubefuna ukukuthokozela - abheke phezulu.

Michelle Obama kwavutha isixuku. “Yindaba yaleli lizwe leyo,” kusho yena. “Indaba engifake esiteji ebusuku. Indaba yezizukulwane zabantu abazizwa beshaywa ubugqila, ihlazo lobugqila, umunyu wokuhlukaniswa, ababeqhubeka belwela, benethemba, futhi benza okwakudingeka kwenziwe.”

Futhi iQembu Elikhulu lavula izingalo zalo.

Ukuze namuhla, ngivuka njalo ekuseni endlini eyakhiwe izigqila.

Izigqila?

Hewu. Ngikhumbula ngesikhathi singakhulumi kanje phambi kwabantu, ikakhulukazi hhayi enkundleni yesizwe. Ukuvuma ubugqila - ngezinga elijulile, kukho konke ukuziphatha okubi - kujule kakhulu kunokumane uvume ukucwasa, okungancishiswa ekuziphatheni kwabantu abangenalwazi. Kodwa ubunikazi bemizimba yabantu nemiphefumulo yabantu, ukulawula okuphelele kwezimpilo zabantu kanye nempilo yabantwana babo, kwakulotshwe emthethweni. Futhi ubunikazi obunjalo babuwumgomo oyinhloko “wezwe elikhulu kunawo wonke emhlabeni,” eligxile emnothweni, elamukelwa oBaba Abasungula ngaphandle kwemibuzo ebuziwe.

Lokhu akuwona “umlando” kuphela. Akulungile. Ngempela, i-United States of America yaba nomphefumulo owonakele. Lokho kwakuwukuchayeka okugcwele emazwini kaMichelle Obama.

Kodwa akusekho, akusekho. Ukujabula okukhulu akuthola lapho inkulumo yakhe iphela kubonakala sengathi ivuma isifiso somphakathi esinesikhathi eside sibambezelekile sokubuyisana. Sesiyizwe elikwazi ukuvuma amaphutha alo futhi liwalungise.

Futhi ukukhetha u-Hillary Clinton njengomongameli - umlayezo uqhubekile - kungaba esinye isinyathelo kulolu hambo oluya ekulinganeni okuphelele kwabo bonke abantu. IDemocratic Party ithole ubumbano lwayo futhi imele lokho okubalulekile.

Uma kuphele . . .

Ngingathatha isici esingenalwazi sakho konke lokhu - izibhakela eziphonsiwe, ukubhonga kokunqoba, amazwibela obukhulu baseMelika aphuma enkulumweni eyodwa ngemva kwenye, ngisho nokwehliswa okungapheli kwentando yeningi kwabezindaba kuya ezibalweni zomjaho wamahhashi - kodwa ngikude kakhulu. kusukela ekungeneni kwe-bandwagon ka-Hillary. Futhi naphezu kokucasha kwe-Trumpenstein, ngihlala ngingaqiniseki ukuthi kulo nyaka - woza, ndoda, kulo nyaka - umuntu ozokhethwa ebubini obuncane nguye okufanele ngimvotele.

Futhi angikhulumi ngisho njengoBerniecrat ovukelayo.

Nakuba ngisamangele ngalokho okufezwe umkhankaso kaBernie Sanders onyakeni odlule, ngisho noBernie akakakuvezi, futhi uyehluleka ukuhlanganisa, ukugcwala koguquko oluqhubekisele phambili ukhetho lwakhe ngaphezu kwalokho obekulindelekile.

“Akuyona imfihlo ukuthi mina noHillary asivumelani ezintweni eziningi. Yilokho intando yeningi emayelana nayo!” UBernie uthe ngobusuku bokuvula iDemocratic National Convention, emele uguquko lwangempela lwezepolitiki njengoba ecele ubumbano lweqembu futhi wavumela uHillary.

Uphinde wathi: “Lolu khetho lumayelana nokuqeda amazinga amakhulu okungalingani kweholo” futhi wacela uguquko olungathi sína lwe-Wall Street, ukuqukatha kwesigaba sosozigidigidi, ukufundiswa kwekolishi lesifunda samahhala kanye nokwandiswa kwezinhlelo ezihlukahlukene zenhlalo yomphakathi.

Ahluleka ukukucela, okungenani, yingxoxo yemiphumela eyinhlekelele kanye nezindleko zokopha komshini wempi waseMelika, okuyimbangela eyinhloko yokuntula ubumpofu kwesizwe.

Engiqiniseka ngakho ukuthi uguquko olusungulwe nguSanders lusekelwe ezinhliziyweni zabasekeli bakhe, ekudluleleni kwempi njengoba nje lusekelwe emaphutheni esihogo obandlululo nobugqila. Leli phutha aliyona nje ingxenye yesikhathi esidlule esijulile, esiqala ngokunqotshwa nokuqothulwa kwezakhamuzi zakuqala zezwekazi, kodwa liyaphila, ligxilile ngokomnotho futhi lidala umonakalo omkhulu emhlabeni namuhla. Futhi asikwazi nokukhuluma ngakho.

Eminyakeni eyikota edlule, ama-neocons kanye nabezempi-izimboni baye banqoba iVietnam Syndrome kanye nokuphikiswa komphakathi kwempi, bafinyelela ukuqina kwempi engapheli.

"Kube nokuphikiswa okukhulu kweMpi Yokuqala YeGulf - izigele ezingama-22 kanye nama-reps angu-183 avotele ngokumelene nayo, kuhlanganise noSanders - kodwa akwanele ukumisa imashi eya empini," UNicolas JS Davies wabhala ngo-Okthoba odlule ku-Huffington Post. “Impi yaba yisibonelo sezimpi ezizoholwa yi-US futhi yasebenza njengombukiso wokukhangisa wesizukulwane esisha sezikhali zase-US. Ngemva kokuphatha umphakathi ngamavidiyo angapheli abona amabhomu 'amabhomu ahlakaniphile' enza 'iziteleka zokuhlinzwa,' izikhulu zase-US zagcina zivumile ukuthi izikhali 'ezinembayo' zingamaphesenti angu-7 kuphela amabhomu nemicibisholo ewela e-Iraq. Okusele bekungamabhomu ekhaphethi yakudala, kepha ukubulawa kwabantu abaningi base-Iraqi bekungeyona ingxenye yomkhankaso wokumaketha. Lapho ukuqhuma kwamabhomu kuyeka, abashayeli bezindiza base-US bayalwa ukuba bandize baqonde e-Kuwait baye e-Paris Air Show, futhi iminyaka emithathu elandelayo babeka amarekhodi amasha okuthunyelwa kwezikhali zase-US. . . .

"Ngaleso sikhathi, izikhulu zaseMelika zenze izindlela ezintsha zokusebenzisa amasosha ase-US ukubeka isisekelo sezimpi ezizayo."

Futhi isabelomali sezempi sikaBarack Obama sikhulu kunawo wonke. Uma ucabangela zonke izindleko ezihlobene nezempi, u-Davies uyaphawula, izindleko zonyaka zezempi zase-US zingaphezu kwesigidintathu samadola.

Ngaphambi kokuthi kubhekwane nenani lalokhu kusetshenziswa kwemali, iqiniso lakho kufanele kuvunywe. Futhi akekho umongameli ongenaso isibindi sokwenza lokhu okungenani - ukuvula ingxoxo mayelana nezindleko nemiphumela yempi - ofanelwe ivoti lami, noma elakho.
