Who will you be voting for in November and why?

Between Dems abhorent treatment of Tulsi, whitewashing the looting/burning/destruction of small businesses, advocacy for open borders, advancing an anti-Hindu agenda by anti-Islamist elements , nosy interference on India's democratically passed laws (e.g. anti-CAA resolutions in Seattle and Minneapolis city councils), I don't know what disgusts me more about the Dems. I can't vote for this party of radicals, and I say this as someone that once campaigned door-to-door for Obama. If anyone has any doubts how deep the rot goes with Biden family and Kamala, I highly recommend you read Ch. 1&2 of Peter Schweizer's "Profiles in Corruption". Add to all this, big tech and lefty media going out of their way to hide Biden's corruption and being compromised to China, there is no way I will vote Joe/Kamala, or any national-level Democrat for a long time.

Curious words from Ajay Jain Bhutoria, who is a member of the National Finance Committee for Biden (see https://www.india.com/news/world/heres-what-democratic-presidential-nominee-joe-biden-thinks-on-kashmir-nrc-and-caa-4067977/)

“There are groups within various elected officials groups in US pushing language and agenda’s highlighting misinformation and damaging facts on how India handled its own internal matter on Kashmir, Ladakh or immigration reforms related to NRC.”

India too has a right to define its own Immigration policy to support its population and economy, he said.

“I grew up in Assam, Guwahati and I have seen the influx of people across the border and taking away important jobs, resources from local people in northeastern states,” he said.

“The immigration reforms and NRC are welcome steps. Execution of these reforms and strategies need to be improved and India needs to do better in change management and rolling out of reforms,” Bhutoria said.

This is the best description of Joe Biden that I've read:

He is an old centrist who forged a Faustian bargain with socialist Bernie Sanders and his hard-core leftist supporters. That alliance was felt necessary to win the Democratic nomination and the general election.

Lovely to see so many Hindus have internalized western values that clash with Hindu values.

There's even someone who says vote for Harris/Biden as they are 'centrists'. I have a Taj Mahal to sell to that guy. De-funding the police is centrist? Believing all women except when they accuse Democrats is centrist?

Supporting Antifa and BLM both of which are overtly Marxist is centrist? I could go on and on...

I cannot vote for democrats after what they did to Tulsi Gabbard, Aarti Tikkoo Singh, their position on Kashmir, CAA & their general disregard for the plight of Hindus in Pakistan, Bangladesh. The Afghanistan development is good, but nothing can undo their general Hinduphobia. Besides, the party is no longer the broad tent for people with different political beliefs.

*The party is growing more authoritarian left which is scary. Folks like Harris, AOC proudly flaunt their authoritarian tendencies like their disregard for first amendment.

*The squad wear their anti capitalism like a badge of honor, which essential means that they don't care for the American Dream either.

* Nancy 'eat your cake' Pelosi, went to a salon to get her hair done, when most salons in her county are forced to close and are on the verge of bankruptcy

* Pelosi's congress is on recess while many in the country are worried for their jobs, their families, their businesses.

* The democrats cannot as much as denounce the riots and continue to call them 'peaceful protestors'.

*Harris gleefully called for the protests/violence to keep going on after the election day. What does that means? Should we now worry for the safety of our children? of arsonists at our door? For god sake, there is a pandemic to worry about and a thousand related worries. The last thing I need is the fear of arsonists at my door.

At the same time, my beliefs don't have a place in the scheme of things on the Republicans either. Their pro-life, pro-war, profits-over-everything-else, anti-environment stance is not good for Americans or the Planet. In short I see a leadership vacuum during critical times. History has shown us that such leadership vacuum lead to destruction of mighty civilizations. Unfortunately, this leadership vacuum is not because we do not have exceptional people around us. It is only because the system prefers compliant mediocre over exceptional people with a mind of their own.

In short, I am not voting either for Democratic or Republican nominee. I will vote for the person, who I think genuinely deserves my vote.

We should have strong reason for whom and why we are going to vote, has he ever spoken in the interest of Hindus?

In 1992 US was anti India cus they were pro Pak post Afghan War for the help offered to win it.

Hindus need to learn lobbying and forget the past and look at the future. We get too triggered over the fact what someone did to us 30 years ago to suite their own geo political interest.

We need to stay engaged with the democrats to avoid giving pakistanis and muslims entire democratic field to play with.

IF Biden wins, you will see Pro India coverage in the left leaning West Media cus Biden and Modi will have to look like "friends" to defeat the bigger enemy ie China.

Good to see many Hindus in America waking up to the reality of Democrats being anti-India and anti-Hindu.

There are a couple of important points to ponder upon:

1. Being anti-India is essentially being anti-Hindu; the two are not separable. This is a more philosophical point but for the sake of conversation, you can be sure that if someone is virulently anti-Indian, they are almost always anti-Hindu as well. In fact, the former stems from the latter if you really think about it.

2. The Democrats, although pro-immigrant, have been anti-India for a long time. The Republicans were also anti-Indian (Nixon/Kissinger) but have slowly started to realize that India is a better ally than China or Russia; although America's policies still don't support this point (since billions of dollars of aid is still given to rogue nations like Pakistan).

It is interesting to note that in 1992, when the USSR collapsed and Russia was in dire need of aid, the US Congress passed a bill to support them. At the same time, India had negotiated technology transfer (of cryogenic engines to be exact to kick start its indigenous space program via ISRO) with the USSR/Russia. When the US Congress was about to vote on the Russia aid bill, it was a special someone who added a line-item in the bill stating that this aid (from the US to Russia) was contingent on Russia NOT transferring cryogenic technology to India! That special someone was Joe Biden! This was enforced by the then newly elected president Bill Clinton (doh!) and the Russian puppet Boris Yeltsin who instead sold (complete) cryogenic engines to India instead of transferring the technology as was previously agreed upon!

India developed the cryogenic technology from scratch and launched the GSLV. However, India's cryogenic program was delayed by almost 20 years due to the subterfuge and nastiness of the USA, especially the US Democrats and in particular, Joe Biden and the Clintons.

To summarize for Hindus in America, the USA has always been anti-India (because they are anti-Hindu). It is in our best interest to manage both sides of the political spectrum tactfully (as the Israelis do vis-a-vis Jews) to benefit India and consequently, Hindus in the long run.

Yes, and thats election Rhetoric. She was pertinently asked a question on Kashmir in a small townhall addressing muslim votebank in California. To gain votes, she gave the best possible answer. Unlike Bernie who actually goes to Jamaat E Islami backed ICNA conventions and rants against India.

Look, politicians have to be smart and sometimes not be too honest. We all like Tulsi Gabbard cus she is too honest and principled. No politician succeeds like that.

1. I would still encourage people to vote democrat because you still have centrists like Biden and Harris. And you do not want to give hard left all the playing field. Unless Republicans fix Green Card issue and fast tract Indian Americans on Green Card Waitlist.

2. There is also negative stories on Hindus because Modi and Trump. US mainstream hates Trump, and since Modi loving Hindus are pro Trump, they must be shamed. Coverage that Modi got during Obama was very positive. The PR was next level during Obama time because Modi/Obama had great personal chemistry. Modi shared stage with Zukerberrg, Elon Musk and even shared stage with Hugh Jackman in 2015

3. Although I am on the fence with Biden/Harris, if you want to see Hinduism being promoted in MSM with positive stories, Biden/Harris will have to win. Its pure politics. Harris mother is a hindu, there was alot of joy amongst "liberal" indian community about celebrating diwali on lawns of WH, Holi in WH, etc.

Couldn't post the last two points and getting an error, so posting an image.

6. AOC got 90 seconds to speak in DNC> Tulsi a delegate winner did not even get an invite. It is against Convention tradition not to let a Delegate winner speak let along invite. AOC endorsed Bernie

7. Coterie of Pramila Jayapal, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, AOC will enforce Bernitva in congress. Which means socialism , islamism and bad news for hard working hindus. AOC wants to tax rich people 70%. How is AOC better than Tulsi ? Tulsi dressed down Kamalarkey in the debates, may be that's why they didn't let her in debates when sleepy and berni were the ones left.

Y'awl voting for Trump is fine, how are you going to sway your relatives to vote for him ?

Start the campaign and be loud and post in every forum as possible. Use insult of Tulsi as a trump card.

I dumped the democrats last time around coz.

1. Bernie gave a tough fight to Hillary but Donna Brazile tried to fix it for her. So Tulsi left the DNC vice chair post to endorse Bernie although Bernie berned her this time around.

2. After clinton's usage of personal emails got exposed one of her staffer was killed in DC. likely guy who exposed that. So if you do anything against Clintons, you disappear. She was the clean up girl for her Bill's excesses.

3. It is rumored Hillary tried to sabotage nuke power plant in India thru scandinavian countries.

4. George Soros is really George Sorrows for countries like India . bankrolling in the shadows to sabotage projects for development.

5. This time in primaries Tulsi was rejected in debates even though She, Sleepy and Bernie were the ones left in the field.

Convince your friends and family to vote for Trump

A first time voter, I wanted to vote for Democrats. But their loony leftist approach doesn’t work for me. plus their dangerous stand towards India and pandering to extremist elements is a path to war. I will be voting for Trump.

Trump, there is very little options now. With leftist running wild in the Dem's, they are going to be quite opposed to strategic relations with India. Trump will be marginally better.

A former Democrat now turned Republican. I can never vote for a Party that has been taken over by Pro Pak members that are brainwashing the Dem politicians with Anti India thinking.

Agree. The #Dems haven't shown that they are worth voting for this time around. Trump is obviously no angel but he's the only other option at this moment in time.

I have always supported the Democratic Party in every election. Recently, I have noticed that the Democratic Party is being more and more overrun by extreme leftists that go under the title of Progressives. It is a dangerous movement that even Obama last September called out. I don't have much to say about Biden, but if the leadership of the Democratic party can't recognize that their party is moving in a dangerous path all together....well, I hope and pray they stay out of power until they fix it.
