Q1: What do you mean by "making your vote count"? Every vote is
counted. That is the law.
A: Your vote is numerically counted. However, t
he odds are ten thousand to one,
or more,
that the same
president will be elected, regardless of how you have
voted.
In that sense, your
vote does NOT count very much.
Q2: OK, agreed. Do you have a better way to make my vote count?
A:
To make your vote count
, if winning equal citizenship for yourself and your
offspring is your priority, then you may want to
vote according to 80-20's
recommendation.
Q3: Why? Why should I let 80-20 influence my vote?
A: For 2 reasons. First, you and 80-20 share the same goal. That is, to use the
presidential election as
a golden opportunity to get the next president to
help us achieve equal citizenship. Secondly,
80-20 can bargain with the
presidential candidates,
while most of you can not.
So, as 80-20 empowers you by getting goodies from the presidential
candidates
, you need to empower 80-20 by
always
voting in accordance with
80-20's recommendation. That creates a win-win
.
Q4: I am getting it. 80-20 uses the AsAm bloc vote as a tool to either
reward
the candidate, who share our concerns, or punish those who
don't. Right?
A:
Right. Your support gives 80-20 clout. That clout will help AsAms to win our
equal
opportunity sooner.
Q5: So how do you think 80-20 will recommend this time on Oct. 29?
A: 80-20 will recommend one of the following 5 ways:
(1) Endorse Hillary Clinton (HC); or,
(2) Endorse Donald Trump (DT); or,
(3) Endorse HC WITH RESERVATION, if 80-20 deems that she didn't help
us enough to have earned all our
votes; or,
(4) Endorse DT WITH RESERVATION, for the reason stated above; or,
(5) NO endorsement for either.
Comment: Wow, I love 80-20. Instead of being subservient, you have the guts
to
tell the presidential candidates what you think. I now understand
what you meant by "making my vote count."
Through 80-20, every
AsAm has been empowered to reward or
punish the politicians
depend on whether they are willing to help us back
or not. One
more
question, please.
Q6: What do you think of
a few small
groups of individuals doing
endorsement of
presidential candidates these days?
A: This is a free country, anyone can endorse. A point that every AsAm should
ask is
whether these endorsers
have
pressed the endorsed candidate to
publicly promise helping AsAms back
, if elected. That
is
the moral obligation
of any group that wants to publicly endorse candidates, when AsAms are
still 2nd class citizens. If that obligation was not fulfilled, then
shame on this
type of endorsers!
They
are placing their personal political interests ahead of
the interests of the entire AsAm community.
Comment:
Got it. I'll vote for our group interest so long as AsAms are not equal
citizens yet. That is, I'll vote according to what 80-20 will recommend
on Oct. 29.
