Iidemokhrasi kunye neRiphabhlikhi ziye zabiwa iimpahla zomnye njengoko zizama ukuphumelela abavoti baseMelika.
Umbuzo okhawulezayo: leliphi iqela lezopolitiko laseMelika elithethe ngemicimbi yezentlalo, iintsapho zomkhosi kunye nomgaqo-nkqubo wangaphandle kwindibano yawo? Leliphi iqela lezopolitiko laseMelika elibhiyozele impumelelo yoyena mongameli walo wamva nje kwaye lathetha ngelifa lakhe? Kwaye ngowuphi umgqatswa womongameli waseMelika owathi, "Andizange ndibenalo ithemba ngeMelika?" Ukuba uyaqikelela "Republican"kwisibini sokuqala kunye"Mitt Romney” kwesesithathu, ubuya kuba uphazama kakhulu. Kwaye yayiyinto engaqhelekanga malunga neli xesha leeveki ezimbini zendibano yezopolitiko yaseMelika: imiyalezo ephambili yamaqela iyafana njengakuqala, kodwa indima yabo ngoku iguqulwe ngendlela emangalisayo.
Kwindibano yeRiphabhlikhi eTampa, eFlorida, uClint Eastwood wathetha ngesitulo esingenanto. Mhlawumbi isitulo sasinokuzaliswa yenye yezikhanyiso ezininzi zaseRiphabhlikhi ezazingekho. Owayesakuba ngumongameli uGeorge W Bush wayengabonakali ndawo. Owayesakuba ngumongameli uGeorge HW Bush, utata wakhe, wayengekho naye. Owayesakuba ngusekela-mongameli u-Dick Cheney wayephuma ekuzingeleni amadada. Owayesakuba ngusekela mongameli uSarah Palin wayengekho eholweni kwaye engabonakali nanjengomntu ophawula kwiFox News, isikhululo sikamabonakude esimqeshileyo ngoku.
Kwaba ngathi iminyaka esibhozo yolawulo lweRiphabhlikhi ye-White House ayizange yenzeke, nangona ingenzeki ngokupheleleyo. UCondoleezza Rice uye wavela, wathetha ngomgaqo-nkqubo wamazwe angaphandle, kwaye uye wafumana imigca embalwa elungileyo: "Asinakuthandabuza ukukhokela kwaye awukwazi ukukhokela ngasemva." Kodwa ngaphandle koko wanamathela kwizinto eziqhelekileyo, kwaye wanikela inxalenye yentetho yakhe ebuntwaneni bakhe eBirmingham, Alabama. Igama elithi "Iraq" alizange lidlule emlonyeni wakhe.
Enyanisweni, nangona wayengumgqatswa weqela abantu abaninzi baseMelika ababekhe bathembela ekuphatheni ubudlelwane nehlabathi langaphandle, uMitt Romney wanikela kuphela umhlathi omnye weyona ntetho ibalulekileyo ebomini bakhe kumgaqo-nkqubo wangaphandle. Kwaye ngelo xesha lo mhlathi, akazange asilele kuphela ukukhankanya i-Iraq, kwaye wasilela ukusebenzisa igama elithi "Afghanistan", ngaphandle kokuba phantse i-70,000 yemikhosi yaseMelika isathunyelwe apho kwaye iya kuba ngumongameli. Kwaye akazange anikele nayiphi na intetho yakhe "kumadoda nabafazi bethu abanxibe iyunifomu", njengoko abaviwa baseMelika beqhele ukwenza. Ngokubhekiselele kumgqatswa womongameli weRiphabhlikhi, uPaul Ryan, akazange akhankanye nawaphi na amazwe angaphandle okanye nawuphi na umgaqo-nkqubo wangaphandle okanye imiba yomkhosi kwaphela.
Kwakukho amanye amagama awayengekho, nawo. Amabinzana aphambili aseRiphabhlikhi anjengelithi "ilungelo lobomi" kunye "nemilinganiselo yosapho" ayengavakali kakuhle, ubuncinci hayi ngexesha eliphambili, nangona ayebaluleke kakhulu ngexesha leprayimari yaseRiphabhlikhi kwiinyanga ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo. Okona kumangalisayo kukuba, kwakungekho themba lininzi ekubonisweni eTampa. Nangona uRomney ehlala ethetha ngokuncoma kwakhe uRonald Reagan, kwakungekho rhetoric yeReaganite "Morning in America", akukho ntetho ye-US njengesixeko esikhanyayo entabeni. Endaweni yoko, umgqatswa waseRiphabhlikhi uzobe umfanekiso ombi woqoqosho lwase-US kunye namathemba alo. Wathi: “Abantu baseMerika ngoku bayathandabuza ukuba abantwana bethu baya kuba nekamva elibhetele.”
Ngokwahlukileyo, i Democrats - ngokwembali iqela elingenamdla omncinci kunye netalente encinci kwimicimbi yangaphandle - yanikela intetho emva kwentetho kwindibano yabo eCharlotte, kuMntla Carolina, malunga nomgaqo-nkqubo wezangaphandle. UJoe Biden noJohn Kerry bathethe ixesha elide malunga nehlabathi langaphandle. UMichelle Obama kunye noJill Biden bathethe ngomsebenzi wabo neentsapho zasemkhosini. Xa ekugqibeleni umongameli waphakama ukuba athethe, eneneni waqhayisa ngezinto azifezileyo. “Kwiminyaka emine eyadlulayo,” uMongameli Obama wathi, “Ndathembisa ukuphelisa imfazwe eIraq. Senze. Ndathembisa ukuba ndiza kuphinda ndigxile kubanqolobi abasihlasele ngokwenene nge-9/11. Si. Siye saqhatha amandla eTaliban e-Afghanistan, kwaye ngo-2014, imfazwe yethu ende kakhulu iya kuba iphelile. Inqaba entsha iphezulu kwisibhakabhaka saseNew York, i-al-Qaeda isendleleni eya koyiswa, kwaye u-Osama bin Laden ufile.
Kude nokuphepha yonke imiba yasekuhlaleni, akukho mongameli okanye nabani na ongomnye eCharlotte owayeyifihlile ngakumbi imigaqo-nkqubo yeDemokhrasi malunga nokuqhomfa okusemthethweni okanye ubufanasini. Kwintetho yakhe, u-Obama ukhankanye ngokucacileyo kumgaqo-nkqubo wakhe othantamisayo malunga namafanasini kwimikhosi exhobileyo, echaza ukuba "amajoni angazingciyo awazukukhutshelwa ngaphandle emkhosini ngenxa yokuba angoobani okanye abathandayo". Wayephindaphinda izimvo ezenziwe ngumfazi wakhe, uMichelle, kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, owathi umyeni wakhe wayefuna wonke umntu eMelika abe namathuba alinganayo, "nokuba singobani ... okanye siyamthanda". UMichelle uye weba ezinye zezithethe zezithethe zosapho lwaseRiphabhlikhi, ethetha ngendima yakhe njengo "Mama oyintloko". Kodwa kwangaxeshanye wabhengeza ukuba “abasetyhini bangaphezu kokukwazi ukuzenzela ukhetho lwethu malunga nemizimba yethu kunye nokhathalelo lwempilo yethu… yiloo nto umyeni wam ayimeleyo”.
Ekugqibeleni, iiDemokhrasi azizange zizise umongameli wabo wamva nje eCharlotte, bambeka embindini weqonga ngobusuku bangoLwesithathu kwaye bamcela ukuba atyumbe ngokusesikweni uMongameli u-Obama, emnika indima edla ngokugcinelwa usekela-mongameli. UBill Clinton, ekhangeleka ekhulile kwaye ekhulile kunokuba sikhumbula, naye waziqhayisa ngerekhodi lakhe. Wahlala kuqoqosho “olugqumayo” lwango-1996, isandulela “solona lwando lude loxolo kwimbali yase-United States”, uninzi lwalo waye wanethamsanqa lokuyongamela. I-Optimism kunye ne-American exceptionalism - yohlobo esasiqhele ukuva kubantu baseRiphabhlikhi-yaphuphuma kwi-podium, ngexesha lentetho yakhe kunye nabanye abaninzi.
Ewe, ngoku ukuba zombini iindibano ziphelile, kuye kwacaca ukuba sibukele umdlalo wokungcakaza kabini: omabini amaqela amakhulu ezopolitiko aseMelika athathe isigqibo sokuphinda azenzele, ubuncinci ngeenjongo zoku. Unyulo lwaseMelika. Ngokucacileyo, amaRiphabhlikhi ngoku acinga ukuba awona maplanga agcina intlalo-ntle eqonga lawo awadumanga phakathi kwehlokondiba labavoti abaguquguqukayo abamisela isiphumo sonyulo lukamongameli wase-US. Nabo abongameli babo bamva nje, okanye inkqubo yabo yangaphandle yakutshanje.
Ngenxa yoko, uRomney uye waba ngumgqatswa womcimbi omnye. Unempikiswano enye ekuthandeni kwakhe, nangona evunyiweyo ilula kakhulu kwaye inamandla kakhulu: uqoqosho ayisiyiyo le nto bekufanele ukuba yiyo, ukuchacha kuphelile kwaye uRomney, ngerekhodi lakhe leshishini kunye namava akhe olawulo, uya kuba ngcono. iyakwazi ukuyilungisa. Xa yena okanye abaxhasi bakhe bebuza, njengoko uRyan wenzayo kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, "Ngaba ungcono ngoku kunokuba wawunjalo ngo-2008", bangcakaza ukuba uninzi lwabantu baseMelika baya kuphendula ngokuthi "hayi" - kwaye baya kwenza isigqibo sokuba ndifuna umongameli omtsha.
Kodwa iiDemokhrasi nazo zithathe ukugembula . Babheja ukuba uninzi lwabantu baseMelika, xa bebuzwa ukuba "Ngaba ungcono ngoku kunokuba wawunjalo kwiminyaka emine eyadlulayo" banokuthi "ewe" okanye ubuncinci "hayi ... naye kwakhona, kwaye ikota elandelayo ingaya ngcono”. Ngamanye amazwi, iiDemokhrasi zicela abavoti abaguqukayo ukuba bamkele imigaqo-nkqubo yenkululeko yentlalontle, bamkele umongameli wabo wangaphambili owayenempikiswano, ukuvuma kunye nokuncoma irekhodi yabo yenkqubo yangaphandle kwaye, ukongeza kuyo yonke loo nto, ukukholelwa ukuba uqoqosho luyakwenza. ngcono kule minyaka mine izayo, nokuba ngumongameli omnye ophetheyo.
Leyo yingxoxo entsonkothileyo, kodwa ibanzi kwaye inzulu, eyilelwe ukutsala umdla kubantu abacinga ngezinye izinto ngaphandle kwezoqoqosho, ukuba kusekho naziphi na. Ikwayeyona nto ikufutshane kwithemba elikhoyo ngoku - ukuba, ngeli xesha lonyulo elibi nelingaqhelekanga, abantu baseMelika basafuna ukuva ukuba izinto zingalunga.
