QAPHELA LAPHA.

Iqhawe lezombangazwe eDemokhrasi elisha elithandwa kakhulu kanye nomuntu ophakanyisiwe ukuba abe nesihlalo e-US Congress yase-Alexandria u-Ocasio-Cortez wayevame ukuba namagama kuye iwebhusayithi:
“Umnotho Wokuthula
“Kusukela kwahlasela i-Iraq ngo-2003, i-United States yazibambela ezimpini nasekuqothulweni kulo lonke elaseMpumalanga Ephakathi naseNyakatho Afrika. Kusukela ngo-2018, njengamanje sibandakanyeka ezenzweni zamasosha eLibya, eSyria, e-Iraq, e-Afghanistan, e-Yemen, ePakistan naseSomalia. Ngokuya koMthethosisekelo, ilungelo lokumemezela impi lingelesigungu Sezomthetho, hhayi uMongameli. Kodwa-ke, iningi lalezi zenzo zobudlova alikaze livotelwe iCongress. U-Alex ukholelwa ukuthi kufanele siqede impi yaphakade ngokuletha amasosha ethu ekhaya nokuqeda iziteleka zasemoyeni nokuqhunyiswa kwamabhomu okuqhubekisela phambili umjikelezo wobuphekula nokuhlala emhlabeni wonke. ”
Manje sezihambile. Ebuzwa ngakho kuTwitter, uphendule wathi:
“Hheyi! Uma ubheka lokhu. Akukho okubi! Isiza sisekelwa ngabasekeli ngakho-ke izinto zenzeka - sizongena ekugcineni kwaso. ”
Abantu abaningi baye bamkhuthaza obala ukuba baqhubeke nokufika phansi. Umuntu oyedwa uye waklanywa i logo ukuze ayisebenzise nombhalo ongenhla ukufanisa ama-logo awasebenzisile nezinye izingxenye ze- "Issues" zewebhusayithi yakhe. Amavolontiya e-Tech-pro ahlala ekulungele ukusiza ngomsebenzi wokufaka amagama kabusha kuwebhusayithi ngesikhashana.
Kungani kunendaba lokhu? Imisho nje emihlanu engacacile, engeyona eyokuzibophezela. Akukhombisi ngisho nangaphakathi, ukuthi, ama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-300 ukuthi lowo ophakanyisiwe angathanda kuphi kusabelomali sikahulumeni, yiziphi izinyathelo angazithatha ukuqeda ukuthi yiziphi izimpi, noma yiziphi izimpi, uma zikhona, abheka amacala angenakufinyeleleka, noma yiziphi izinyathelo angazenza ukuqhubekisela phambili ukuthula, idiplomacy, umthetho, noma ukuguqulwa kube ngumnotho wokuthula. Yini inkinga enkulu?
Okokuqala, ibha iphansi kakhulu kulezi zindaba. Angazi umuntu oyedwa ozongenela ukhetho lweCongress oye wakhomba kakhulu ukuthi isabelomali sikahulumeni kufanele sibukeke kanjani noma aze abuzwe ukuthi enze njalo. Ngiseshe amawebhusayithi omkhankaso weDemocratic DRM ngathola inani eliphelele labangu-8 lokho kusho noma yiluphi uhlobo lokuphikisana nempi. (Iningi alisho nokuthi kukhona inqubomgomo yezangaphandle.) Kulezo zitatimende eziyisishiyagalombili, imisho emihlanu ka-Ocasio-Cortez (yayi) ngandlela thile iqine kakhulu. Ubala izimpi ezinkulu zamanje. Ubabiza ngezenzo zokuhlukumeza. Uthi ufuna ukuqeda impi yaphakade, egcizelela ngokuqinile ukuthi ufuna ukuqeda ngayinye yezimpi aziqambe igama kanye nezinye ezifana nazo. Uthi ufuna ukuqeda ukuqhuma kwamabhomu, hhayi nje ukuthunyelwa kwamasosha. Futhi uphawula ukuthi ukuqhuma kwamabhomu akulutho ngokwemibandela yabo.
Yize ukubonakala ukuthi lezi zimpi zikhona ngempela izenzo zokuhlukumezeka ziyinkimbinkimbi, akunakwenzeka ukuqasha umxhumanisi wezombangazwe e-United States ongakukwazisa ukuba ushiye lokho kuwebhusayithi yakho. Izenzo zokuhlukumezeka azikho emthethweni, kanye nokuba yizinto ezithinta abantu abathintekayo nje kuphela uma bezama ukubamba umonakalo u-Ocasio-Cortez aphikisana nawo. Uma usebenzela iCongress uvuma ukuthi uhulumeni wase-US uhlanganyela ebhizinisini lobugebengu, ukuthi empeleni iningi lalokho uhulumeni akwenza yilokho okwakubonakala eNuremberg njengobugebengu obuphezulu emhlabeni wonke, abantu kufanele babe nelungelo lokulindela ukuthi wenze okuthile Mayelana nakho.
Manje sithola ukuthi kungani lokhu kubaluleke kakhulu. Ezinye ze-60% zezimali zombuso ezisetshenziswayo ziya kwezempi. Iningi labangenele iCongress likhankasela kuphela umsebenzi ongama-40%. Abasho lutho ngokoqobo ngenqubomgomo yezangaphandle, futhi akekho obabuzayo. Ngakho-ke, u-Ocasio-Cortez (waye) ovelele, kepha wehlukile ekuthinteni okungatheni ngobuningi bomsebenzi afaka isicelo kuwo. Wenze njalo ezimweni ezimbalwa engazi ngazo ngale kwemisho emihlanu esuswe manje. Ubhale kuTwitter ephikisana nokubulawa kwabantu basePalestine kwa-Israyeli, futhi wakhuluma esekela isikhundla esifanayo enkulumweni yevidiyo noGlenn Greenwald. Ubuye wabhala ku-tweet ephikisana ne-AUMF, kufaka phakathi lawa magama:
“Impi ayilethi ukuthula. Ukunciphisa ubuphofu kwenza. Imfundo iyakwenza. Uhulumeni omele lokho. ”
Lowo akuyena ozongenela ukhetho lukaBernie Sanders. Lokho kungcono kunomuntu ozobhapathizwa nguBernie Sanders.
Kepha kungani kubalulekile ukuthi uthini kuwebhusayithi yakhe? Ngizokutshela ukuthi kungani. Lapho abantu bekhankasela ukuthula bavame ukuwina, futhi lelo qiniso livame ukusulwa, kungaba ngokuthula noma ngesikhulu esikhethiwe esiphendukela empini ngemuva kokhetho. Lapho othile ewina umkhankaso oyinhloko wokuthula, abanye kudingeka bafunde ngakho. Futhi lapho bephumelela okhethweni olujwayelekile lokukhankasela ukuthula, abanye kudingeka bafunde ngalo. Nakhu ukuthi uthola kanjani abazobhapathizwa abaningi ukusekela ukuthula.
Umbono wokuthi othile uzohlela ngasese ukusebenzela ukuthula ngenkathi ethula noma ezenza sengathi uthanda impi aze akhethwe inezibonelo ezimbalwa zokusekela kanye nezinkulungwane eziphikisana nazo. Inqabile kakhulu yiCongressman Ro Khanna ukuthi iwebhusayithi yakhe ayithuli ngokuthula kodwa umsebenzi wakhe usebenzela yona. Okuvamile kakhulu kunomunye wabanye abayisikhombisa abafuna ukuthula kumawebhusayithi abo omkhankaso, uPramila Jayapal, onomuntu ozokwazi ukuzihlukanisa ngezenzo.
Ngenkathi labo abafaka umkhankaso wokuthula bangase bangenzi lutho, labo abenza noma yini ngenxa yabo bavame ukukhankasela kuso.
Umuntu ozongena naye ozungezile nabantu abasusa ukuthula kusuka kuwebhusayithi yi-candidate yokuzwa iseluleko esingalungile, futhi isikhulu esizayo esizoqhubeka sizwa iseluleko esibi.
Manje-ke, nginethemba lokuthi u-Ocasio-Cortez uzowasusa amagama akhe kuwebhusayithi yakhe. Ngiyethemba ukuthi abanye babasekeli bakhe abashisekayo abaye basho ngokungenasisekelo ukuthi ulungiselela isitatimende esingcono isikhathi eside ngomnotho wezokuthula bazolunga. Akukho okungangijabulisa kakhulu. Futhi ngingaqala ngokushesha ukukhuthaza u-Ocasio-Cortez weCongress. Ngemuva kwalokho, unobuhle kwezinye izindaba eziningi, futhi nezikhundla zakhe kwezinye izindaba empeleni zizoba nengqondo futhi zitholakale ngomnotho wokuthula.
Ngithemba ukuthi isitatimende esisha, esingcono kakhulu sisesayini lakhe ngesikhathi ngishicilela lokhu. Ngithemba ukuthi bonke abalandeli bakhe banethuba lokuthi ngingumuntu oyisiwula ngokusho into enjalo nhlobo. Ngithemba ukuthi bayangamukela njengengane engithandana naye naphezu kokuntuleka kwami kobuqotho obuphelele.
Kepha okuvezwe ngesikhathi imisho emihlanu isusiwe kuwebhusayithi bekuphazamisa impela, noma ngabe kujwayelekile futhi kungaqagelwa. Abantu abagcini ngokusungula izaba. Abanye bakusolile noma yikuphi ukugxekwa noma ukubuzwa njengokungafanele. Abanye bathi u-Ocasio-Cortez akufanele abekwe icala ngewebhusayithi yakhe nhlobo. Abanye baphakamise ukuthi akufanele abe nesikhathi sokubhekana newebhusayithi kuze kube yilapho esekhethiwe (futhi enomsebenzi obaluleke kakhulu okufanele awenze kunokukhankasa?). Abanye basebenzise i- I-Argumentum Obamatum okuphakamisa ukuthi noma yikuphi okukhethwayo oyithandayo kuyimfihlo yokuthula kodwa uhlakaniphile ukwenza sengathi ungeyena ngenkathi umkhankaso (mhlawumbe ngisho nalapho ulawula).
Ngakho-ke, lapho ngithi abanye badinga ukuzwa ukuthi umuntu ozongenela ukhetho ukhankasele ukuthula waphumelela, angisho nje ukuthi abanye abantu, ngisho abanye abantu ngokujwayelekile. Isizathu esiyinhloko, esikhulu kunenkohlakalo yezezimali kanye nemidiya yezinkampani, ukuthi abaningi abazongenela ukhetho abaphumeleli ngenkathi bekhankasela ukuthula ukuthi cishe akekho noyedwa kubo ozama lokho.
