In a hypothetical situation. As a pakistani-American,
Would you vote for candidate A, who was a bad choice for America but their foreign policy was good for Pakistan.
or would you vote for candidate B, who was good for America but whose foreign policy was bad news for Pakistan.
I am an American citizen but i would rather vote for Candidate A.
Share your views??
Re: Voting in the US elections
would you not vote on the overall picture? domestic and foriegn policy both are important. so on balance with health, education, economy, foriegn relations, etc et who is the better candidate.
If it does come down to all things being equal, one guy is good for US and one is good for pakistan. Obviously I will be picking the guy who is good for US.
^^ couple of things to understand;
It is not American president who dictates the vital strategic policies of the empire, its a immensely powerful nexus of business, military and religion; in other words vital strategic polices are made by the forces of the "empire", president in today's politics is just a stooge, who has a voice but words are borrowed from the dictionary of the nexus, however a very powerful and charismatic president can still either slow down a little or become a catalyst to speedup the journey dictated to him.
Now let's forget about the politics of power and argue about character, how a devil outside can play a role of an angel inside, it is unthinkable that a person who completely disregards humanity out side geographical boundaries of his own countries can be compassionate, merciful and benevolent, we should remember one who is bad about Pakistanis living in Pakistan, will never be good about Pakistanis living in US.

whoa whoa...lets hold off on the compassion, angel/devil, humanity stuff...lets make it simple
if one candidate says he will invest 10 billion dollars for education in Pakistan, and other says no sorry zero. that 10 billion needs to be invested in education in USA. Then my vote is going to the one who is investing it in US.
Living in USA I'll be voting for the one who is coming with best plans for USA. (candidate A)
