Kamala vs Donald - Trump vs Harris : Enlighting the 47th presidential campaign

Σταμάτιος Χ. Γεωργούλης

What is decided about the future of the USA in the presidential elections of November 5, 2024? They close exactly from this day of April 30, 1789, when the first President of the USA George Washington swore the sacred oath of the American President 235 years, 6 months and 4 days. Symbolic oath short and at the same time comprehensive:  (...) do solemnly swear (or affirm), that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will do it to the best of my ability, to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, (God help me)'. 46 Presidents took this oath in front of millions of American citizens, preserving it as the apple of the eye of a superpower militarily the largest on the planet, which makes each president and planet ruler. A symbolic term that demonstrates the important role that the top leader of the country undertakes to play in global events concerning security and peace at the global level. But at the same time, the role is decisive for the internal order and well-being of the 17 337 million American citizens today. Tomorrow's president is consistently called upon to respect the constitution and the democratic freedoms it imposes, to keep intact the quality of democracy in the country and to work for the equality of American citizens at all social, economic and political levels . It is well known that the contrasts at these levels are enormous. It may be that in the two previous centuries the USA in the eyes of the poor and downtrodden peoples of the earth seemed like a true land of promise. It may be that millions of people flocked as emigrants on boats and ships to reach this land that in their imagination flowed with honey and milk, but the conditions today remind us of a tragic deviation that could be described as a dead land of promise that is a illusion like a mirage phenomenon of the oasis in the desert; that the closer one gets to it, the more it recedes from one's field of vision. According to an OECD report on poverty in the US (2018) authored by Philip Alston, it is found with negative signs that: “US citizens live shorter lives and experience more disease than citizens of all rich democracies, that the higher rates of incarceration and obesity in the developed world. At the same time the mortality of 18 children born to African-American families is the highest among developed countries and twice the mortality of Thai children. Also, that the number of homeless children reaches 1.5 million and is three times higher than during the Great Depression in the 1930s. Simply put in practice, the United States is the only developed country that does not include in its fundamental human rights health care, as well as protection from hunger and from the prevalence of conditions of total deprivation and therefore it will be called the next or the next 47th president to deal with the almost insurmountable problems of 50 million Americans who cannot secure the basic necessities of life and have nowhere to turn their heads..
