作者：简（Jan）
离 2020年的大选只剩下不到两个星期的时间，我特意撰文分享我决定投票选谁的决策过程。我相信有不少人并不知道事情的全貌，因为媒体对于世界的事件总是选择性地有些报道，有些隐瞒。不仅主流媒体如此，包括像推特，谷歌和脸书这样的社交媒体平台也是如此。对于我这样一个来自社会主义国家的移民来说，这些通过使用笔杆和话筒来操纵民意的手段是太熟悉不过了，但是在美国这个国家看到这样的情况，却令我难以置信。今天美国发生的一切和美国极左派的行径，让这些来自共产主义和社会主义国家的移民感受前所未有的威胁。美国处于一个十字路口。这一次的大选极为重要。每个人都必须投票，每一票都不可或缺。在决定如何投票的过程中，我把我的思维过程分成三个层面。第2个层面，哪一个候选人会把国家带往我希望的方向？所以首先回答第1个层面的问题，就是国家该往哪个方向走。在2020大选中要决定的两个截然相反的方向是，美国当走资本主义还是社会主义道路。在美国出生长大的大多数人都没有机会在一生中经历过这两个相反的社会制度，但是来自CN，一个社会主义国家的移民，就对社会主义制度有过深刻的体验。所以我就想根据我自己的亲身经历阐述一下这两个制度的不同。资本主义制度给所有人以思想，言论和追求幸福的自由，给所有人以机会，让勤劳者能得到勤劳的报酬。信仰，传统价值观，常识和自由是美国成为了世界上最强盛的国家。世界各地的人都希望来到美国，不仅仅是因为美国是机会之地，更重要是因为美国宪法所保障的自由。自由加上传统价值观使勤劳工作和勇于冒险的精神得到回报，公平的系统鼓励人们不断努力，社会不断进步。正是这些资本主义的价值观使美国在每一次的工业革命中都取得巨大成就。相反，社会主义制度则截然不同。社会主义国家的政府通常通过政治强制，镇压和恐怖手段强迫思想统一。每个人都必须在政治上正确。社会主义制度剥夺人们的自由，禁言或取消了任何不符合其意识形态的声音。社会主义国家的人们通常生活在恐惧中，对绝望有着深刻的感觉。社会主义国家无视公平，强制执行平等，扼杀欲望和动力。在自由被禁锢的社会缺乏创新和进步的活力和创造力，导致经济停滞和贫困。社会主义国家或GC主义国家的例子包括前苏联，俄罗斯，朝鲜，古巴和委内瑞拉。他们美丽的口号包装MKS主义者。他们通过压迫或政治正确来压制不同的声音，强制思想统一。他们主张没有公平的平等，这会促进懒惰和依赖性。无一例外，社会主义所到之处都是经济崩溃，人民贫苦难。MKS主义者/社会主义者在这个国家正处上升势头，如参议员Sanders ，众议员 AOC / Omar 和ANTIFA 组织。他们相信通过破坏或暴力进行革命, 痛恨传统价值观和常识。他们的意识形态将导致充满痛苦，没有机会的社会。为什么失败是社会主义的必然结果？社会主义口号虽然听起来很美，但是却违背了人类的本性，因而从未奏效。社会主义要求重新分配财富，这扼杀了工作的动力。社会主义者通过以自由为名的暴力革命来获得权力，但他们垄断了任何自由/机会，却不让他人分享。他们将人们和创造力关在笼子里。我们已经看到了这两种系统，并且永远也不想回到社会主义，因为我们已经看到了社会主义的可怕破坏。我们经历了MKS主义者的谎言；我们已经看到了社会主义者漂亮的口号与他们的意识形态的悲惨结局之间的强烈对比。因此，像我这样许多来自GC主义国家的移民永远都不想看到美国成为社会主义国家。在选择了资本主义之后，接下来要考虑的是哪个候选人将继续带来美国走资本主义道路？在我看来，川普代表着传统价值观和常识。在过去的四年中，他证明了他加强了我们的资本主义。而拜登则与左翼民主人士联手试图将这个国家带向着社会主义的方向。事实显明，川普在短短四年内就大大改善了美国国内的资本主义经济，并在国际上取得了巨大进步。在国内，川普改善了经济发展，并实现能源独立。他推动了税收改革，吸引制造商回到美国，实现了数十年来最低的失业率，包括最低少数民族失业率，还有自统计记录以来的最低贫困率以及惊人幅度的股市增长。川普修建隔离墙以阻止非法移民。川普恢复了美国的太空计划并重建了美国的军队。川普到目前为止已任命两名最高法院大法官。这些国内成就激发了该国的高度信心和极大乐观。在国际上，川普消灭了伊斯兰国恐怖组织ISIS，斩杀了恐怖主义头目。他抑制了北朝鲜并困逼了伊朗。他迫使他国对不正当贸易行为负责。在美国，川普与加拿大和墨西哥达成了新的贸易协议。在中东，川普政府促成了历史性的中东协议。在欧洲，川普成功推动了塞尔维亚与科索沃的交易。由于这些成就，川普已三度获得诺贝尔和平奖提名。杂志经济学家将川普的成就与他的前任相比时有以下发现。非裔美国人的失业率，在布什任职的8年中，最低点为7.9％；在奥巴马的8年中，最低点是8.1％；在川普短暂的3.5年内，最低点是5.6％。在股市增长方面，纽约证券交易所在奥巴马任职的8年中增长率为7.3％，而在川普短短的3.5年中增长率为35％；道琼斯指数在奥巴马的8年中指数增长了32.3％，而在川普短短的3.5年中实现了105％的增长；道琼斯期货（Dow Futures）在奥巴马任职的8年中增长了28％，而在川普短短的3.5年中增长了101％；纳斯达克在奥巴马任职的8年中增长了86％，而在川普短短的3.5年中增长了243.3％。毫无疑问，川普在短短3.5年内为美国人民取得了巨大成就！现在，让我们看一下拜登的政职。他曾投票通过各种损害美国资本主义经济和就业的法案。从政治47年以来，拜登的政绩相当糟糕。但是现在，拜登正在与桑德斯，哈里斯，佩洛西，AOC和奥马尔等极端左翼人士合作，以推动社会主义议程。我在网上搜索拜登的政绩可谓凤毛麟角，而败绩历历在目。在国内，拜登早期投票反对种族混合，支持种族隔离。他支持的刑事法案导致入狱率大增。拜登在许多重要问题上态度反复。他谎报自己的证书和大学表现。他因抄袭被逮住多次。实际上，由于他被撒谎和剽窃过去被迫退出总统竞选。拜登（Biden）担任副总统时为其家人裙带得益。在国际事物上，拜登投票赞成伊拉克战争，他反对猎杀本·拉登。最近还发现拜登腐败的证据。他和他的家人从乌克兰获利4百万美元。他们从俄罗斯获得了350万美元。更有甚者，他们从他国那里收到了数千万美元的报酬。鉴于这些事实和担忧，哪个候选人将会继续推行资本主义？无疑是川普。现在，让我们看一下第三层面，哪个候选人更有可选性？过去，这通常是选民的关注焦点，因为两党之间的分歧通常不会那么大。鉴于此，候选人的选择必须与方向的选择保持一致。人们可以根据一个人希望看到的方向投票给候选人。也就是说，如果有人要资本主义，就应该选举川普。如果要社会主义，就选拜登。所以，我根据不同的可选性标准评估了两位候选人，并认为选择仍然是川普。价值观
政绩
领导能力
奉献给国家
能力与魄力
实干与空谈家
人格
多年来，自由主义者把“保守主义”变成了“肮脏”一词，因此人们常常不再想到“保守主义”的内容或含义。事实并非如此。 信念，勤奋的职业道德，家庭价值观，责任感，独立性，自律性和社区精神是保守主义的核心价值观。我的价值观与保守主义相符。从政绩来看，选择非常明确。我将投票给那些拥有良好往绩的候选人。领导力。川普明确领导，无论人们是否同意他所领导的方向。川普的领导力除决策外，还表现在巨大的活力，热情和迅速动员许多人的能力。反观拜登，从未真正领导。他47年的政治生涯说明了一切。他的记录显不出他有任何领导能力。他没有远见或领导才能。他缺乏活力和兴奋，无法动员他人。美国需要领袖；美国人民需要领袖。我将投票支持领袖。比较这两位候选人，川普明显为国奉献。他抛下了成功的事业，为美国而牺牲。川普每年将总统收入捐赠，显示出非凡的奉献精神。在新冠大流行期间，他愿意以身尝试实验性药物，对我而言，这是极高的奉献精神。另一方面，拜登没有如何为国奉献的明证。也许正好相反。最近的新闻报道说，他和他的家人利用他作为政府官员的地位，通过接受来自不同共产党国家的大量资金来获得商业利益证明他的腐败。在这一点上，两名候选人的区别昭然若判。由于他对这个国家的坚定奉献，我将投票给川普。首先，关于能力。川普表现出了言必信，行必果的领导力。他的政绩证明了这种能力。川普在在过去的四年中遭受不断的攻击下仍孜孜不倦地工作，政绩远远超过当代任何其他总统。但是拜登的记录不能显明他有能力成为总统。在他超过47年的政治生涯中，他自己没有任何成就。拜登作为副总统时对H1N1大流行的应对可以说是灾难性的，没有采取任何策略甚至没有测试，以致有7000万美国人就被感染。那显示了他的无能。美国需要一个能够使美国再次伟大的人。我们不需要那些除了利用自己的显赫地位为自己和家人谋取利益之外没有什么成就的职业政客。在魄力上，川普也是表现非凡。即使在面对不间断的攻击时，他也毫不气馁，始终专注于实现自己的目标。相反，拜登在身体和心志上都很虚弱。在他47年的政治生涯中，似乎从没有过作为坚强的领导者的表现。他的心理健康状况也令人担忧。他经常看起来很困惑，不合逻辑，词不达意，张冠李戴，甚至前言不搭后语。在竞选活动和新冠大流行期间，拜登大部分时间都躲在家里。拜登即使当选总统也没有足够的魄力执行。美国需要一个刚强，坚韧的领袖。在两位候选人之间，川普当然也赢得了这一点。关于可选举性的下一个标准是实干还是空谈家。大多数工作都需要做实事而不是空谈。对于领导者来说尤其如此。美国需要一位强大而富有创造力的行动者总统，才能使美国再次变得伟大。不管人们喜欢川普是否喜欢川普，都不能否认川普是一个行动者。拜登不是实干家。在他47年的政治生涯中，他甚至不是一个很好的代言人。拜登（Biden）对自己的资格，他的学业表现撒谎多次，又被抓获剽窃。除了他实干的能力之外，他是否正直诚信也受质疑。美国肯定需要一个实干家。总统还需要成为有诚信的代言人。一些选民说，他们不会投票给川普，因为他们不喜欢川普的个性。坦白说，我也不一定喜欢川普的个性。如果我要选择一个人结婚，个性问题将是一个重大问题。但是我在这里投票支持管理国家，并带领国家朝着我希望看到的方向前进的领导。对我来说，国家有很多更重要的问题应比个性问题优先。有人抱怨说川普太张扬，有时近乎粗鲁，有时不合总统体统, 并且喜欢与媒体互怼。除了与媒体互怼之外，我同意这些观点。我有时看过川普举行的新闻发布会，看到新闻记者对一位当选总统的态度是不尊重到令人震惊。他们不是问实质性的问题，而是为了刁难和中伤。因此，我个人认为与媒体互怼是正确的做法。川普的性格具有积极的一面。他直言不讳，很多选民都喜欢。他精力充沛，努力工作，富有创造力，并且行动迅速。他言必信，行必果。实际上，川普的成就超出了他的承诺。拜登也有一些积极方面。他是一个圆滑的政客，因为他多年来一直是职业政客。他有时说话会比较好听，似乎是个正派的人。但有时他也会很粗鲁。但是，拜登的性格也有负面。被抓的谎言太多，剽窃屡见不鲜。拜登有时表现得像一个狡猾的政客。更严重的问题还包括他有时会出现脑雾，不明所以。他迟钝，缺乏能量。另一个大问题是，拜登对女性（包括成年女性和年轻女性）表现出出奇的行为。拜登有时无缘无故地跪下，可能是出于政治目的，而他似乎在做任何事情都是为了政治上的利益。在人格方面，尽管川普可能会令人讨厌，但这是在可以容忍的程度。而拜登，重要的问题是他常常撒谎，例如他的资历，奖学金，学业成绩等。如果一个人在撒谎，那么别人怎么能相信他呢？他还反复剽窃。他可能外表显得温柔，但这面具的背后是什么，这才是更重要的。拜登枯燥，常常心不在焉，无法激发人们的热情，不能动员他人。尽管川普在性格方面有些烦人，但在平衡了每个人的利弊后，我仍然选择川普优先于拜登，因为我只是不知道真实的拜登是什么样的。这种新型冠状病毒的袭击全球，有189个国家受到严重影响，而且影响仍在继续。有些人就新冠疫情指责川普。但回顾事实，我认为川普在联邦政府赋予的权限下做得很好。我们的评价必须基于事实。他在一月份与CN关闭边境，然后在三月份与欧洲关闭边境。当时包括拜登在内的许多人都在嘲笑川普。最初，川普政府依靠奥巴马/拜登制定的CDC检测制度，但很快意识到奥巴马/拜登CDC的检测制度没有用，并迅速对系统进行了升级。众所周知，川普动员私营部门以创纪录的速度在3周内开发了7代技术的测试。奥巴马/拜登政府留下的库存很少，因此处于新冠大流行初期全国个人防护装备短缺。川普援引《国防生产法》生产个人防护装备，并以创纪录的速度运往所有需要的人。在很短的时间内，川普创造了一个庞大的储存库，以致供给自己之外，还能开始支持其他国家。开发有效疗法的努力和开发多种疫苗的速度也属空前。他从未停止工作，实际上在大流行期间不懈地工作。川普首先尝试了羟氯喹。当他感染病毒时，川普亲自尝试了其他试验药物，这非常勇敢。在大流行期间，他大部分时间都躲藏起来。当国家面对危机时，拜登没有表现出领导才能，没有任何行动或建设性建议。拜登在大流行期间所做的唯一一件事就是将疫情政治化，通过攻击勤劳的川普和疫情专务小组来获取政治利益。查看拜登处理H1N1大流行的往绩就知道他在抗击H1N1病毒过程中做得很糟糕，有7,000万美国人被感染。CDC订立的检放措施很不实用，导致抗疫工作非常混乱，没有及时开发出测试。拜登唯一幸运的是，H1N1的死亡率极低。奥巴马/拜登政府知道供应链问题严重影响国家安全，却无所作为。最近，拜登再次剽窃英国首相鲍里斯·约翰逊（Boris Johnson）“在大流行后重建”计划。如果在新冠大流行期间奥巴马和拜登在白宫，他们将不会在2020年1月31日关闭边界。民主党反对在1月关闭与CN的边界。由于美国是联邦制，因此联邦政府的权力是具体法定的有限权力，而大多数权限则归属于各州，例如管理交通，医院和警察。即使在2020年3月，一些民主党控制的州仍然反对川普的测试策略。这些是新冠疫情的重灾区。民主控制州的死亡人数是共和党治理州的死亡人数的2.48至5倍。坦白地说，鉴于拜登过去的低楣表现，疲态，以及缺乏领导才能，如果他当选，将无法应对持续的大流行。他对H1N1流感大流行的处理力是最好明证。拜登最近提出了他当选后会如何应对这次疫情的战略–具有讽刺意味的是，他提出的正是川普总统及其疫情专务小组已经采取的行动。这种疫情已被自由派，左派媒体和拜登政治化，美国人民为此付出代价。他们指责川普没有强迫人们呆在家里并戴口罩。根据宪法，他没有那种权力。即使川普这样做，也可以肯定他会受到攻击。不管他做什么，左派都会对川普进行人身攻击。这种现象令人震惊，因为这与在专制国家发生的一样–当你与他人竞争不利时，想办法毁了他/她。考虑到新冠疫情波及全球，并且很多被认为做得很好的国家依然仍在起伏，对川普所做抗疫工作的公允评价就不应该是指责。毫无疑问，这次疫情被政治利益充分利用了。我相信历史将最终对2020年发生的事情，包括川普在抗疫过程取得的巨大成就做出公正的判断。因此，即使把关注焦点放在疫情上，我仍然会选择川普。最后一点是关于法律和秩序。当暴力暴动的抗议者抢劫我们的城镇并杀害人民时，对无辜者的伤害是最终的社会不公正。川普在法律和秩序上持强硬立场，坚决与执法部门和需要保护的人们站在一边。但尽管他立场强硬，他的权力仍受到宪法的限制。在州政府没有要求联邦政府介入的情况下，联邦政府就无法进入州内帮助制止暴力。我们都看到了结果–一些民主控制的州和城市被暴徒蹂躏。而这些地方民主政府则利用暴力作为权利杠杆：通过局势恶化，嫁祸于川普，以牺牲本应受保护的人民为代价，以图获得政治优势，行为令人发指。在仔细考虑了所有讨论的要点之后，选择就更加清晰了。我决定与任何愿意听的人分享我的思想过程，希望鼓励所有人根据事实，做出决定，而不是依靠主流媒体对选民操纵的头条。英文：It is about two weeks before the 2020 election in the U.S.
I am making this video talking about the important 2020 election and share my decision-making process to decided how to cast my vote. I noted that some people do not know the facts because the media is selectively reporting or hiding certain facts. This includes the traditional main-stream media and some online social media operators such as Twitter, FaceBook, and Google. As an immigrant from a communist country, it is all too familiar to us. Misuse pens and mouths to manipulate the general population. It is hard for me to believe what I observe now in this country.
Many immigrants from communist/socialist countries never feel so threatened by what is happening today in America and by the extreme left in this country.
America is at a crossroad.
This election is crucially important. Everyone should vote and every vote counts.
I deciding which candidate, I focused on three levels ofconsideration.
The first level of consideration is which direction that Ilike to see this country going.
The second level of consideration is which candidate will take this country in the direction I like to see.
The third level of consideration is which candidate is more electable.
The key is to prioritize these considerations. The first level takes the top priority andthe second level takes a higher priority than the third level.
I will start with the first level of consideration.
There are two opposing directions in 2020: capitalism and socialism/communism.
Most people born and raised in the U.S. have had no opportunity to experience these two opposing systems.
We are immigrants from China, a socialist country, and we know the difference deeply.
Before we left the China, we longed for capitalism.
Therefore, I would like to spend a few minutes to presentthe two systems, based on my first-hand knowledge and experience.
Capitalism provides its people the freedom or liberty to think, to speak, and to pursue happiness. It provides opportunities to all and rewards those who work hard. Such freedom and opportunity lead totechnological and social innovations and yield societal advancement.
Freedom is the hall mark of the Constitution of the UnitedStates. Faith, traditional values,common sense, and freedom made the U.S. the most wealthy and powerful countryin the world. People from all over the world came to the U.S. not only because it is a land of opportunity but more so, for the freedom guaranteed under the Constitution.
Freedom ensures independence. Traditional values reward hard working and risk taking. Equality with fair nesspositively motivates and incentivizes people. The result is a country that always moves forward. These capitalist values made America successful in each and every industrial revolution.
In contrast, socialism presents a very different picture. The government in a socialist country forces thought uniformity, usually through political coercion, suppression, and terror. Being politically correct is a must.
The socialist system deprives people of their freedom and silences or cancels anything that does not fit their ideology. People in a socialist country usually live infear and have a deep sense of hopelessness. Socialist countries enforceequality without fairness, which kills motivation and desire.
Without freedom under suppression, such a society lacks energy and creativity in innovation and progress, resulting in economicst agnation and poverty.
Examples of socialist or communist countries include the previous Soviet Union, Russia, CN, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela. Marxistsin socialist countries are masked by beautiful slogans. They demand uniform thoughts, suppress different voices via oppression or political correctness. They advocate equality without fairness, which promotes laziness & dependency. Without exception, socialism has driven every economy into the ground with human suffering.
Marxists/Socialists are on the rise in this country. For example, Sanders/AOC/Omar ANTIFA, some of them claimed to be trained Marxists. They believe in revolution via destruction or violence. They have intense hate towards traditional values and common sense. Their ideology will lead to a society with endless hardship without opportunity.
Why failure is the inevitable outcome of socialism? Socialist slogans, although sounding beautiful, are against human nature and have never worked. Socialism calls for re-distribution of wealth, which kills incentive to work. Socialist sattain power through revolution with violence in the name of freedom ，but they monopolizeany freedom/opportunity without letting others to share. They chain people and creativity in cages.
We have seen both systems and will never want to go back to socialism because we have seen the terrible destruction from socialism; we have experienced the lies of Marxists; we have witnessed the drastic contrast between socialists’ beautiful slogans and the tragic outcome of their ideology.
Therefore, many immigrants from communist countries will never want to see US to become a socialist country. I am one of them.
Having made the choice of Capitalism, the next consideration is which candidate will continue capitalism?
In my view, Trump stands for traditional values and common sense. He has demonstrated in the last 4 years that he has strengthened our capitalism.
Biden works with the left democrats trying to move this country in a socialist direction.
Examining the facts, it is evident that Trump has, in a short 4 years, significantly improved the capitalist economy domestically here in the U.S. and has made tremendous progress internationally.
Specifically, I made a list ofrepresentative achievements that Trump achieved in the last 4 years.
Domestically, Trump has improved economic growth to achievethe lowest unemployment rate in decades, including for minorities, lowest povertyrate since recording the statistics, and the impressive stock market growth. Trump built the wall to stop illegal immigrants and achieved energy independence. Trump revived the U.S. space program and rebuilt our military. He pushed through the tax reform to attract manufacturers back to the U.S. Trump has so far placed two Supreme Court justices. These domestic achievements have sparked a high confidence and a great optimism in the country.
Internationally, Trump eliminated ISIS and killed terrorist leaders. He curtailed North Korea and cornered Iran. He held CN responsible for the unfair trade practice. In America, Trump reached new trade deals with Canada and Mexico. In the Middle East, Trump administration signed the historic Middle East deals. In Europe, Trump successfully pushed through the Serbia-Kosovo deal. Because of these achievements, Trump has been nominated three times for Nobel Peace Prize.
Journal Economist compared Trump’s achievement with that of his predecessors.
On unemployment rate of African Americans, under Bush’s 8 years, the lowest point is 7.9%; under Obama’s 8 years, the lowest point is 8.1%; under Trump’s short 3.5 years, the lowest point is 5.6%.
On stock market growth, for New York Stock Exchange, during the 8 years under Obama, it grew 7.3% while duringa short 3.5 years, Trump achieved a growth of 35%; on Dow Jones index, duringthe 8 years of Obama, it grew 32.3% while during a short 3.5 years, Trump achieved 105%; on Dow Futures, during the 8 years under Obama, it grew 28% while during a short 3.5 years, Trump achieved 101%; on NASDAQ, during the 8 years under Obama, it grew 86% while in a short 3.5 years, Trump achieved 243.3%; on semiconductor industry, during the 8 years under Obama, it grew 14% while in a short 3.5 years, Trump achieved 174%.
There is no question that Trump has achieved tremendously for the American people in a short 3.5 years!
Now, let’s look at Biden. There is not much data that can be found to show Biden’s achievement. However, it is a fact that he has voted for various billsthat have harmed the U.S. capitalist economy and employment. In politics for 47 years, Biden’s record is pretty bad.
But now, Biden is working with people from the extreme left-wing, such as Sanders, Harris, Pelosi, AOC, and Omar, to push for a socialist agenda.
I searched online for Biden’s achievement but could not find any. But I did find different information that shows the opposite.
Domestically, Biden has vote dearly days against race desegregation and voted against busing for desegregation. He backed crime legislation that cause huge prison populations. Biden flip flopped on many important issues. He lied about his credential and university performances. He was caught plagiarizing quite many times. In fact, he was forced to exit the campaign for president early years because of he was caught lying and plagiarizing. Biden created jobs for his family members while serving as the vice president.
Internationally, Biden voted for the Iraq war and he was against killing Bin Laden. It was also recently revealed that Biden is corrupt. He and his family profited $400million from Ukraine. They received $3.5million from Russia. Worse yet, the yreceived millions from the CN.
Biden and his family gave U.S. technologies to CN to build the CN military and invested in CN nuclear power companies that misappropriated U.S. technologies. Biden and his family have significant ties to the CN and military.
Given these facts and concerns, which candidate will continue capitalism? There is doubt that it will be Trump.
Now, let’s look at the level III consideration on which candidate is more electable.
In the past, this often has beenthe focal point of voters, because the difference between the two parties wasusually not that big.
But, not this year.
We have two Parties and two opposite directions.
The two candidates personify two extremes.
The U.S. is at a crossroad.
Given this, the choice of acandidate needs to be in alignment with the choice of direction. One can vote a candidate based on the direction one wants to see. That is, if one want scapitalism, one should elect Trump. If one wants socialism, one will elect Biden.
Another way to vote can be still to select a candidate by assessing the candidates by looking at different criteria related to electability.
I assessed both candidates against different criteria and believe that the choice is still Trump.
Specifically, I looked at the following criteria related to electability.
1. Values
2. Track Record
3. Leadership
4. Devotion to the country
5. Ability & Strength
6. A Doer vs. A Mouthpiece
7. Personality
I will start with values.
“Conservatism” has, over the years, been made by the liberals into a “dirty” word so that people often no longer think of the content or meaning of “conservatism.” It should not be.
Faith, hard working ethics, family values, responsibility, independence, self-discipline, and community represent the corevalues of conservatism. My values align with that of conservatism.
Trump and the Republican Party represent conservatism.
Next, I evaluate the trackrecord of both candidates.
Trump has achieved much in ashort 4 years, both domestically and internationally, as I just walked through some of Trump’s accomplishments listed in a slide.
What About Biden?
There is not much data showing Biden’s achievements. Even his supporters could not really recount his distinct achievements. If anything, Biden has many negative records. It is a fact that he has voted for bills that have harmed the U.S. Capitalist economy and employment. In politics for 47 years, Biden had voted times that are against the American’s interests.
Looking at the track record, the choice is pretty clear. I will vote for a candidate who has a proven positive track record.
On the next criterion on leadership, Trump clearly leads, whether one agrees with the direction he is leading to or not. Not only he as the leadership, Trump also has tremendous energy, enthusiasm, the ability to mobilize many at a rapid speed.
On the other hand, Biden neverled. His 47 years political career say sit all. His record does not support any claim that he has the ability to lead. He does not have vision or leadership. He lacks of energy and excitement and not able to mobilize others.
America needs a leader; the people in America need a leader. I will vote for leadership.
The next criterion is on devotion to the country.
America needs someone who is devoted to this country.
Comparing the two candidates, Trumpis devoted to the country. He left his successful businesses behind and sacrificing for America. Trump donated his presidential income to the country every year. It shows quite extraordinary devotion. During the pandemic, he tried experimental drugs which, to me, is the ultimate devotion.
On the other hand, Biden has not demonstrated that he is devoted to the country. Perhaps just the opposite. Therecent news reported that he and his family exploited his position as a government official to gain business advantages and corruption by accepting large sum of money from different Communist countries. 47 years without much achievement also raised question about his devotion.
The facts clearly divide the two candidates apart on this point. I will vote for Trump because of his unquestioned devotion to this country.
The fifth criterion onelectability is ability and strength.
First, on ability. Trump has demonstrated his ability to lead, to direct, and to deliver. His track record evidenced that ability. Trump worked tirelessly under constant attacks, yet with creativity still delivered in the last 4 years tremendously more than any other modern president.
But Biden’s record does not support a claim that he has the ability or capacity to be a president. In over 47 years of his political career, there was no distinctive achievement of his own. Biden’s handling of the H1N1 pandemic as the responsiblevice president was disastrous with 70 million Americans infected without any strategy or even test. That shows hisinability.
America needs someone who is capable of making America great again. We do not need a professional politician who has not achieved much except using his prominent position to gain for himself and for hisfamily.
I will vote for a candidate who has been shown to be very able.
On strength, Trump has exhibited exceptional strength. He will not budge under any difficult situations. He is resilient and kept his focus on delivering what he has set out to do, even when faced with non-stop attacks.
These are the qualities of a strong leader. That is what we need.
In contrast, Biden is weak, both physically and mentally. Over 47 years of his political career, it did not appear that he was ever strong as aleader.
There are also concerns about this mental fitness. He often appears to be confused, illogical, has trouble to speak meaningful sentences, for gotidentities of people he has known for a long time, and called them by wrong names. During the campaign and pandemic, Biden was not active at all and hid at home most of the time. Biden does not have the strength required for a President even if he is elected.
America needs someone who is strong and resilient. Between the two candidates, Trump certainly wins on this point as well.
The next criterion one lectability is on a doer vs. a mouthpiece. Most jobs need a doer instead of a mouthpiece. This is particularly so when it comes to a leader.
The U.S. needs a strong and creative doer President to make America great again.
Between Trump and Biden, who is a doer?
Whether one likes what Trump does or not, it cannot be denied that Trump is a doer.
Biden is not a doer. In his 47 years of political career, he is not even a good mouthpiece. It is a fact that Biden lied many times about his credentials, his school performance, and got caught plagiarizing on various occasions. Such facts raise questions about his integrity and decency, on top of his ability to be a doer.
America definitely needs a doer. The president also needs to be a mouthpiece but not a dishonest mouthpiece who lies and plagiarizes.
The choice based on this criterionis also Trump.
The last criterion that Ievaluated on electability is personality.
Some voters say they will not vote for Trump because they do not like Trump’s personality.
Frankly, I don’t necessarily like Trump’s personality either. If I am choosing a person to marry, personality issue will be a significant concern. But I am here voting for someone to managethe country and taking the country to a direction I like to see.
To me, there are other more important issues in the country that should take a higher priority than personality.
Examining the personality of both candidates, each has pros and cons in their personality.
Some people complain that Trumpis too blatant, sometimes is rough, sometimes does not appear to be presidential, can be abrupt, likes to brag, and can be confrontational, e.g.,with the media. I agree with these except on being confrontational with the media. I have watched at times of the new conferences that Trump held. It is shocking to see how disrespectfully the journalists had treated a duly elected President. They asked questions that were meant to hurtinstead of being substantive. They are just so unbelievably rude. Given that, I personally think that being confrontational to the media is a right thing todo.
Trump has positive side in his personality. He is a straight talker and transparent. That is, what you see is what you get. He talks straight to the point which many voters like. He is very energetic, hard working, creative, and fast moving. He makes promises, he remembers his promises, and he keeps his promises. In fact, Trump has delivered more than what he promised.
On Biden, there are also some positive side. He is a smooth politician because he has been a career politician for many years. He sometimes talks nicer but sometimes he can also be rude and rough. Biden sometimes appears to be decent guy.
However, there are negatives score son Biden’s personality as well. There were just too many caught lies and repeated plagiarism. Biden sometimes acts like a sneaky politician which is the other side of being a smooth politician. More serious issues also include that he sometimes has brain fogs, he was often confused. He is sluggish. He has no energy and is not active. A big issue is that Biden exhibited weird behavior towards females, including both adult women and young girls. Biden sometimes kneels for no apparent reason, likely for political gain and he appear to do anything to gain politically.
In terms of Personality, although Trump can be annoying, it is tolerable.
As to Biden, big issues are his lying about things such as his credentials, scholarship, academic performance,etc. If a person lies about such things, how can anyone trust him? He also repeatedly plagiarizes. He may appear gentler but the question is what is behind that?
Biden has no fire power, he does not excite people, he is boring, and not capable of mobilizing others. When he is present, he is often not quite there.
Balancing the pros and cons of each candidate on personality, despite the fact that Trump has some annoying aspects in his personality, I still select Trump over Biden because I just don’t know who Biden is.
Another big consideration is the pandemic.
The whole world has been hit by thisunknown coronavirus with 189 countries being impacted significantly and stillon going.
Some blame Trump for the spreadof COVID-19. Examining the FACTS, I think Trump has done quite a job, within the constraint of the power vested in the federal government.
We should all focus on FACTS.
Trump led the nation to fightthe virus within the confine of the federal power.
He closed border in January withChina and then in March of the boarder with Europe. Many, including Biden, made fun of Trump atthat time.
Relying initially on the CDC testing protocol set by Obama/Biden, the Trump administration quickly recognized that the Obama/Biden CDC’s testing protocol did not work and re-vamped the system at a rapid speed.
Left with an empty stock pile by the Obama/Biden administration, the country in early stage of the pandemic lacked PPE. Trump mobilized the private sector to develop testing, as we all knew, 7 generations of technology in 3 weeks at record speed.
Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to produce PPE and shipped to all in need at a record speed. Not a single patient died without the medical supplies needed.
In a short time, Trump created a big stock pile and quickly started to support other nations as well.
The effort of developing effective therapeutics was also impressive and multiple vaccines are also being developed at a unprecedented speed.
Trump also started to work on supply chain issue during the pandemic.
The BLM and the subsequent protests had destroyed the properties and lives of many. Trump was strong on law & order.
Trump tried HCQ for the peoplein this country. He never stopped working and in fact worked tirelessly during the pandemic. When he contracted the virus, Trump tried different trial medicine himself, which is very courageous.
What about Biden?
He hid most of the time during the pandemic. When the nation faces withthe crisis, Biden exhibited no leadership, no action, no constructive suggestion of any sorts. The only thing Biden did during the pandemic is to politicize the pandemic against hardworking Trump and the task force, still trying to gain personally by leveraging the pandemic.
Looking at the track record ofBiden on his handling of H1N1 pandemic. He did a terrible job on H1N1 virus and 70 million Americans were infected. It was chaotic with a non-functional CDC protocol, no testing developed, and still has no clue on what happened. The only lucky thing to Biden is that the death rate of H1N1 was extremely low.
Experienced with H1N1, Biden still left an empty stock pile, which initially caused problems during COVID-19 pandemic.
Knowing the serious issue of supply chain impacting national security, Obama/Biden did nothing to addressit. Recently Biden again plagiarized again of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on “rebuilding after the pandemic.”
Journal Economics reported:
If Obama and Biden were in the White House during the COVID-19 pandemic, they would not have closed the borderon January 31, 2020. The democrats were against closing the border with China in January. Since the U.S. is a federated system, there is limited and enumerated powers for the federal government, while most authority is vested in the states, such as managing transportation, hospitals,and police. Even in March of 2020, some Democrat-controlled states were still against Trump’s testing strategy. Those are the very states that were negatively impacted by the coronavirus the most. The deaths in Democratic controlled states are 2.48 to 5 times that in Republican controlled states.
Frankly, given Biden’s past performance and sluggish energy, and lack of leadership, he will not be able tohandle the ongoing pandemic if he is elected. His handling of H1N1 pandemic speaks for itself.
Biden recently proposed his strategy on how to handle the pandemic if he is elected – ironically, what heproposed is exactly what President Trump and his task force have already done.
Perhaps another plagiarism?
This pandemic has been so politicized by the democrats, the left media, and Biden at the expense of PEOPLE or US.
Trump was blamed not to force people to stay home and wear masks. Under the constitution, he does not have that power. Even if Trump forced to do that, it can beassured that he would be attacked. It did not matter what he does, the left’s goal is to attack Trump personally. I am completely shocked that this is happening here just like a communist country – when you cannot compete with someone, you ruin him/her.
Given what is going on in theworld on COVID-19 and up and downs even in the countries that are considered have done a good job, knowing what Trump did, it is not fair to blameTrump. No doubt that the pandemic is so heavily leveraged for political gain.
I believe that history will eventually judge fairly on what happened in 2020 and Trump achieved tremendously during the pandemic.
So, even on the note of the pandemic, I will still select Trump.
The last point is on law andorder. The ultimate social in justice is the harm to the innocent when the violent rioting protesters looted our citiesand towns and killed people.
Trump took a strong position on law and order and stands by the law enforcement and the people who need protection.
Despite the strong position Trump takes as the president of the federal government, his power is limited by the Constitution.
Without a state requests the federal government to step in, the federal government is prevented from entering into the state to help to stop the violence. We all see the result – some democratic controlled states and cities are still raped by violence.
These local democratic governments are leveraging the violence: make the situation worse so that theycan take advantage of it politically at the expense of the people they are supposed to protect. It is truly unbelievable.
After careful consideration of all the points discussed, the choice cannot be more clear.
I will vote for President Trumpfor 4 more years.
I decide to share my thought process with whoever will listen, hoping to encourage all to make their decisions based on FACTS, instead of relying on the manipulated headlines them ain-stream media throw at voters.
Thank you for listening！
