Regarding ethics and values, I generally follow the conservative Republican line of thinking. However, on social ethics and welfare, I align with the Democrats. I believe in a labor-first principle on economic and fiscal policies, ensuring that the working class lives a decent and comfortable life with equal rights.
But, I do not support the violators of human rights and dignity and the perpetrators of terror, violence, and genocide. I oppose the military dictatorship, monarchy, despotism, and religious bigotry.
In the forthcoming US elections, my priorities are clear. Any candidate who has supported the apartheid and genocide would not get my vote. I cannot betray my conscience.
I did not support democracy to promote genocide or the violation of human rights. I do not subscribe to democratic values that justify state-sponsored violence against unarmed civilians to please lobbyists.
I find the majority of Republicans and Democrats serving the interests of lobbyists who promote terror and genocide and consider the majority of the world unworthy of being called humans. They enjoy big perks and draw huge salaries to spill more human blood.
For almost an entire year, they armed a terrorist state determined to wipe off Palestinians from their land. I view them as hypocrites; they talk of Christian and Jewish ethics and wear human rights. But they willingly accept the money offered by lobbyists who rejoice to watch the blood of innocents.
The so-called religious elites are no different. Under an illusionary theology promoting the idea of a Messiah, they justify the blood of Palestinians and praise the Lord for the murder of children. They are hypocrites.
I also do not appreciate the Muslim leadership in the US that has betrayed justice by aligning with those who have supported genocide. They are not trustworthy because they are not transparent and accountable to the people they claim to serve.
Thus, I do not want to betray my conscience in this election. I do not wish to support Kamala or Trump, and I do not want to vote Democrat or Republican. I will vote for those who oppose genocide and stand for human rights and dignity.
Muslim Republicans or Democrats will come to their communities pleading for votes for their party. Democrats would argue for Kamala and suggest that a Trump Administration is disastrous for democracy. Trump supporters would talk of religious values and the promiscuous agenda of liberals.
Always remember, before you decide to vote, ask your conscience. Would you support merchants of death and the supporters of genocide? I spent several hours reflecting on this question. Initially, I was inclined to vote for Democrats, but their insistence on supporting the genocide of Palestinians forced me to change my initial intent. I value human life, and any attempt to destroy it by anyone is unacceptable. I believe that I have to answer to my creator for my decision, which is for human life.
