Have Respect For The Presidential Candidates
They are human beings too.
These are tweets from both presidential candidates.
I read a tweet from Joe Biden:
It's time we remember who we are as Americans: we treat each other with dignity and respect, we leave nobody behind, and we give hate no safe harbor.
We are everything that Donald Trump is not.
- Joe Biden
A tweet from Donald Trump:
Corrupt Joe Biden and the Democrats don’t want to open schools in the Fall for political reasons, not for health reasons! They think it will help them in November. Wrong, the people get it!
I don't like those tweets partially.
What bothers me the most, is that in both tweets is that they both address things about one another. They both are not just state what they are standing for.
They both always must say something about one another.
What that person does and who that person is. Is that part of the presidential election?
I think it is not really necessary to address issues towards one another, because I believe you will downwards yourself too. What happens when you address issues the other person has done? You will get hate towards yourself. And it doesn't matter if the reaction are correct or not. Giving guilt to the other person - when it is true or not - is not necessary, that makes you being a jerk or going low on the level of the other person.
This is election year in the USA. There - for as I understand - are two candidates who are prior for being elected as the next president.
As a Dutch woman, I follow it from distance, but the more I follow this election thing, the more I understand about the characters of the sitting candidate president, and the possible president.
During this presidential election you have to stand for what you believe, you have to act like the way you think, and you have to be kind to everybody, including the other presidential candidate. Even you are not on the same boat.
Reading Tweets, quotes, articles and other opinions about presidential candidates, makes me think about the way this presidential pre-election goes.
I feel that it is going about personality instead about content. I feel that there are issues that has been stated by both candidates, but not has been acted towards to that.
That is maybe the distance between the ocean, but still... I feel that there are more issues that can be done at this right moment and address it to the other candidate than just saying that someone does this or that.
When you read pieces and tweets online, there are such things that it will be too much sometimes. Can you fight a presidential election without addressing each other issues?
I believe it can. And doesn't matter if the issue is true or if this issue is not true at all, I think.
Tweeting is such a thing, and this is such a thing, in a way, that you can just say anything what you want to say, as it is your right to speak out - as it is our freedom too.
You can say anything in a way that it could take as a fact. A lot of people take those statements as true. When Trumps says I am dumb, his followers take that as a fact. As Joe Biden says that I am a bad writer, his followers take it as a fact.
Back to the tweets of Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
I agree with the part Joe Biden said:
we treat each other with dignity and respect, we leave nobody behind, and we give hate no safe harbor.
Do you read what I read?
We treat each other with dignity and respect, we leave nobody behind, and we give hate no safe harbor
If you treat each other with respect, you don't address such statements towards Trump (or anyone else), why are you saying:
We are everything that Donald Trump is not.
You're addressing hate towards Trump, Mr. Biden, and your followers will read that.
I don't like that, addressing such a thing towards someone else. Your program for your country could be a great one, but addressing some sort of hate doesn't fit a democrat, my opinion.
Mr. Biden, you also wrote:
Donald Trump needs to do his job.
It is not nice to say this, Mr. Biden. Although, I do agree with the message, but that doesn't mean you have to say these statements.
What I also don't like is the hatred Tweets from people about his past. There are reactions in every post from him and about him.
If you want to have a decent president, then have the least a decent respect for the presidential candidates. Even if you don't like what they stand for.
I also want to state that people, the citizens, from which country, must have any respect for the leader of the country, or for other fellow politicians.

Iran and Israel: Dangerous Game.
Israel and Iran have been locked in a deadly duel for decades. Ever since Ayatollah Khomeini came to power in 1979, both nations have been at loggerheads. Israel did help Iran briefly, in the First Gulf War of 1980 - 1981. Iraq was a common enemy of Israel and Iran. Israel helped the Iranians with weapons. Sadly, that moment in history is a blip in an otherwise confrontational relationship.
