I simply cannot believe that in the United States of America...

32. I've lived and worked all over the world, and I am ashamed of the USA

I spent many years in the Middle East, South Africa, Eastern Europe (Ukraine, actually), South America, and South Asia. I have worked closely with people from more than 50 countries, most major religions and ethnicities and political systems. Those experiences confirmed that the vast majority of the people on the planet want the same things: peace, opportunity, fairness, justice, and to be left alone to live their lives.

But since Trump burst onto the scene in the US, I've been overwhelmed with sadness and shame. In a country that has no excuse, tens of millions of people continue to support for president one of the worst human beings ever born.

The issue of Trump and MAGA have never been about politics. It's never been about Republicans vs. Democrats. The issue has been, and still is, as simple as it gets: Do you want decency or depravity? That's it. That's what every election since 2016 has been all about.

But one thing we should remember is this: without the travesty known as the Electoral College, Trump never would have been president, and this nightmare may have ended before it had a chance to begin. Many democracies around the world have modeled their systems after the US Constitution, but not one of them has adopted anything like the Electoral College. In every other democracy on earth, and in virtually every other political system, the candidate with the most votes wins. If that were the case in the US, Hillary Clinton would have won in 2016 by nearly three million votes. Instead, we ended up with Trump and MAGA despite the fact they were rejected by the majority of American voters.

So we need Kamala and Coach Tim to win for a million reasons, and one of those reasons is to abolish the Electoral College.

Let's fight, and let's win. We have no other choice.
