Uncertainty in the 2020 Election and Geopolitical Concerns
The 2020 election raises concerns about its potential closeness and the uncertain future insights provided by various analysts. There is significant confusion regarding the emphasis on mail-in ballots and the lack of voter ID requirements, which transcends traditional partisan lines and raises questions about accessibility and electoral integrity. The Electoral College may not adequately address potential issues stemming from a disengaged electorate that may not fully grasp international dynamics, specifically regarding the State Department and intelligence operations. There is a perception that those in power are operating without sufficient accountability to the public, overlooking how foreign policy decisions, particularly concerning Ukraine and NATO, are communicated and justified. This detachment may result in alienation of citizens who feel their interests are sidelined. Washington's leadership is criticized for potentially prioritizing political stability over democratic engagement, as exemplified by figures like Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., and Donald Trump, who represent challenges to the established order. The notion persists that these leaders' populism is perceived as threatening by the existing geopolitical management, further complicating the relationship between the government and the electorate.
