A great president is someone who takes care of the American people, not individuals groups. If you care about America then you will vote for the person who takes care of every ethnic group in America, not a single racist group. Vote Blue 💙💙💙

She said Palestinians has the right to self Determination. What else they want.self determination is the right to rule yourself.

[arulsiva]

She cannotwaste her time on intervies, because it is not going to give any votes. She has on;ly 70 days and she has to camppaigning for votes and travelling all nooks and corners is more important than satisfying the reporters.

Majority of Asian, especially 1st generation Asian are conservative. The second generation Asian may shift to liberal or even progressive after indoctrinated by Marist educators. Economy is the major factor for first generation Asian voters. Progressive agenda is what most experienced and escaped from. Second and third generation younger Asians are prompt to be liberal due to influence from school and media. The older Asians tend to be wiser and hold dear to conservative value. On another note, you need to distinguish legal and illegal immigrations. Ali Velsh speaks from his progressive standpoint, not from majority of Asian hold dear to conservative value.

Not sure why folks living in a society need to be asked for their votes. Don’t they have a personal interest in the direction of the country they are citizens of. In any case Michelle Obama made a direct appeal to all in her speech. If everyone sits and wait to be directly engaged it says more about their appreciation of the right to vote that folks died for.

The discussion excludes the “the experience of South Asia “ in the Biden administration and how that will impact the voting pattern of that demographic. Let us say Bangladeshi, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and India in to consideration the people from these nations are well aware of the activities of Biden administration in these nations and how they tried to overthrow Iran khan in Pakistan, Haseena in Bangladeshi, so on in Sri Lanka and their efforts against the 3 rd term of Modi in India. You can say not Trump and dismiss the damage this administration has done to the world. Strong leadership in America is not in the best interest of China and they have been known to have handles on politicians and journalists too. Under Obama the whole of Africa was destabilized by social media induced revolutions under a Harris administration the whole of Asia will be destabilized and puppet governments will be placed in the whole of Asia . Indian should be worried and speak with your vote.

Just need one Vivek Ramaswamy to take on Ali Velshi with the amount of bull💩 comes out of his mouth.

Butch Ware is Jill Stein's running mate.

Sreenivasan must support his fellow Tamil relative in whatever form is posible.

[MVPSTUDIOBERHAD]

vivek ramasami can takle this group for sure....

[arulsiva]

What is the effect of huge reistration of voters.

[BheemKothur]

Send Trump to Jail, ASAP, bc he is accepting the election as a looser.

[boojava]

I think the root of all this issue is addressing the Euro Americans as Americans in the society and calling the real americans as Native americans.. We need to address the whites as Euro americans and natives as Americans it will have a huge impact in the society on how to deal with the word immigration

[MVPSTUDIOBERHAD]

the chinese american, arab american or indian american are diffrent but they united because their are immgrant and they know tht it better to make american a open border and change the poulation so tht then dontt look like alien in america in long run

[BheemKothur]

Vivek is Wrong time Wrong place. He doesn’t have any Clue, only Takative!
No experience, he is a big looser.
