Why are Americans angry?

-

This is a very short article based on popular social media discourses I encounter every day. I am not going to make a judgement on them but just going to enlist them. These are multiple perspectives handpicked and aggregated.

Americans are angry because-

  • 1.1 million Americans died during COVID-19 which is much higher than the number of deaths during World War II.
  • The exit of the USA from Afghanistan was chaotic and many were shocked by the lack of proper execution on the ground which led to the fall of Kabul in the hands of the Taliban which was a massive costly affair for the  American taxpayer.
  • On January 6th Insurrection and Aftermath.
  • The high inflation in the country has pushed the cost of living.
  • High Gas Prices Aftermath Russia-Ukraine War.
  • Roe vs Wade was overturned. 
  • They hate guns and gun violence but no one is doing anything on that. \
  • Politicians take money from gun lobby only do nothing. 
  • Billions are being spent on Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan while Americans are struggling. 
  • A convicted felon is still not in prison and able to do anything due to privilege. 
  • They have to choose between an Old Man and a Con Man.
  • People need a solution to the Southern Border. 
  • The current judiciary is the most conservative ever and their agenda is pretty much clear.
  • The president and ex-President are now going to have immunity for certain actions. 
  • They need an alternative to both the Presidential candidates. 
  • Biden is too old and Trump is always lying.
  • The first Presidential Debate was a sham. 
  • CNN failed to do fact-checking. 
  • Project 2025.

On 1st July, the results of the New York City Mayoral Democratic Party Primary were out. Whoever wins the democratic primary is likely to be the mayor of NYC. Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic Party Primary. The City follows a ranked choice system where votes are transferred to a higher candidate until someone achieves at least 50% of the vote. Mamdani was leading in the first round before the transfer of votes. He defeated the long-time veteran of New York Politics, Andrew Cuomo, 56-44 in the second round. Hence, now Mamdani will head towards the final New York Mayoral election in November.  This article is not about him, his ideology or whether that will help New York City; rather, it is about how he managed to win the election and what both parties of the USA, as well as any political enthusiast, can learn from that.  Founded by the Dutch in 1624, New York City is the largest city in the USA and is the heart of Wall Street, the symbol of free market capitalism...
