Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden

Poll ramifications for Asia and the world

While many world leaders would prefer former Vice President Joe Biden to win, President Donald Trump is undeterred and even buoyed that many foreign heads of state and policymakers oppose his “America First” policy.

After Trump?

The Occupy Wall Street movement, Black Lives Matter, the Bernie Sanders campaign enthusiasts and countless social justice groups are not going away and will continue to aim to move the members of the public from identifying with the aggressor to identifying the enemy, which clearly still has a way to go in Corporate America

What if Biden wins?

Police brutality against minorities will continue in Biden’s reign, as it did under Barack Obama’s. There will only be feeble attempts, if any, at police reform. Remember the beer summit during Obama’s time, when the black Harvard professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., was arrested because he couldn’t get into his own house.

Partisan Truths Amok

If anything approaches the status of a ‘law‘ in the slippery realm of politics it is that incumbent parties in election years spend heavily on gimmicks for the masses so as to boost prospects and worry about the bill later. Today, however, Republicans ideologues have plainly abandoned many millions of Americans who desperately need an extension of the original March unemployment bill in order to avoid eviction

One last dance on the Titanic?

Biden is taking no chances this time round. He leads in all three states. Florida has always been a swing state, and it’s a neck and neck race out there. Surprisingly, in the conservative state of Texas, Trump leads by just one point.

The Harris Campaign

Babu Jagjivan Ram in his 34-year-long career (1946-1979) in the Indian Cabinet, never once talked about his caste, or that he was a Dalit. His reasoning was that to become Prime Minister, he would have to have the support of all castes. The Dalits across India would not exceed 15 per cent. How far would that carry me, he would ask in private

Campaign games

“You sit behind a computer and do a debate ~ it’s ridiculous, and then they cut you off whenever they want,” Mr Trump has said.
