Dollar Democracy
THINKING about America makes me ponder the first word of the country’s official name: “United”. Various American states that were not united at one point and fought over the right to keep slaves: that is American democracy for those who have only known the US through Hollywood films, fancy Ivy League colleges and pop culture. But wait, that’s just the beginning.
A few days ago, someone commented while talking about the American election, “Just imagine, the issue of right to abortion is not even discussed in this election properly.” I smiled. I am an immigrant in this country with no voting rights. For me, It is a shame that the political conversation is about whether voters should elect someone (Donald Trump), who instigated a mob of rioters to storm the Capitol Hill building to support Trump’s attempts to overturn his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. But then American politics is a big circus.
