November 5th has finally here. Election day has finally arrived in America. It seems as if this campaign has lasted for an eternity. For me, this day is bittersweet. As I write this, I truly believe that Kamala Harris will be the next president of the United States. Her campaign has been full of hope and optimism, as compared to the dark, dystopian vision of Donald Trump. After suffering through a terrible pandemic, Americans are in search of a brighter tomorrow. They do not need to hear a prospective president insulting women and Puerto Ricans.
What saddens me is that so many Americans, especially men, will cast their vote for a racist, misogynistic wanna be dictator. The United States would never be the same if Donald were to end up in the Oval Office. Trump is a very sick man, physically and mentally. He should not be running in this election in the first place. It has become more and more apparent that he has some form of dementia or cognitive decline. It has already been documented that he slurs his words and can't speak coherently.
Most Americans are sick and tired of all the chaos, hate, division and rancour surrounding Trump and his supporters. It's time to move on. Kamala represents the future. Donald Trump represents an oppressive past dominated by white males. As Kamala says, it's time to turn the page.
By the way. I am certain that Kamala will win the popular boat. The only chance for Trump is the unfair, out-of-date Electoral College system. The majority of Americans prefer Kamala. They would like to move forward, not backward to the 1950s.
I live in Canada. As a Canadian citizen, I am unable to vote in this election. However, the whole world has a stake in this election. If democracy is lost in America, it will be a tragedy.
