‘Terminator’ supports Harris to end “anger” in the United States

Actor Arnold Schwarzenegger has announced his support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in the November 5 presidential election. The protagonist of the ‘Terminator’ saga was Governor of California for the Republican Party between 2003 and 2011. However, he has clarified that he will not vote for Donald Trump due to his temperament and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden. In one of the most honest accusations to emerge from the Hollywood milieu, the Austrian artist says he doesn’t like either party, but he believes American society has become divided and polarized in recent years, and he believes ​That supporting Harris is the only way to reduce the “anger” among citizens.

After his trip to California, the actor immediately returned to Hollywood with ‘The Expendables II’, a true revival in honor of the action film veteran with Sylvester Stallone, Jason Stahm, Jean Claude Van Damme and Bruce Willis. All these years he has continued to act in films and has shown a love-hate relationship with politics, in fact in 2015, he said that he would love to compete for the presidency of the United States, but the fact That he was born. Stopped outside the country, he gradually distanced himself from the corridors of power. Although he does not forget his previous “job”, as he usually calls it: his house is often visited by candidates, journalists or political researchers seeking to become advisors, senators or governors.

One of his capital interests at this time is the Schwarzenegger Institute (USC), which he founded a year after leaving the governor’s office and which focuses on promoting public discussion and developing programs of general interest. , especially related to energy and climate change, is one of the great passions of the most famous cyborg on the planet. Prominent political leaders and academics have passed through its center with whom it tries to reach an agreement after partisanship, a stream that puts citizens ahead of policies.

It was probably this perspective that led him to issue a public letter which, surprisingly in this time of cancellation, goes like this: “I generally don’t support. “I’m not afraid to share my opinions, but I don’t care about politics. And I don’t trust most politicians.” And he says the fact that he “hates politics more than ever” shouldn’t come as a “surprise.” “If you’re a normal person who cares about this shit If you’re not addicted, you probably understand,” he says.

question of sympathy

The interpreter shows deep discomfort with the way parties work and leaders who “manipulate the system against the people”. In his opinion, “public policy” requires “working with the other side to win the next election, not insulting it”, and he deplores that “I don’t like either side right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, increased the deficit, and rejected the election results. “Democrats are no better at tackling the deficit, and I worry that their local policies will hurt our cities by increasing crime. “

However, in his letter he said he would vote for Kamala Harris and her vice presidential candidate Tim Walz because it is the way to “move forward as a country” and calm the “anger” caused by polarization. . This is the first time that Schwarzenegger has spoken out in favor of the Democrats in an election contest in which there is a high probability that his party’s candidate will win. However, this is not the only occasion when it shows its independence from the actions of Republican leadership.

While his representatives in Congress vetoed Barack Obama’s economic stimulus plan in 2009, Schwarzenegger showed his unconditional support and even appeared publicly with the former president to support this, while he He was the Governor of California at the time. In 2020 he also toed the party line and appeared at Dodger Stadium to promote vaccination against the coronavirus and encourage the use of masks. He has a nearly three-meter-high replica of the Statue of Liberty in his home and drives a Hummer with a biodiesel engine.

‘Arnie’, as many of his fans know him, encourages voters to “turn the page” and forget about Trump, because his arrival in the White House would mean “four more years of garbage without results”. Which would leave the country “more”. Divided.” And full of hatred. In 2016 he justified that the magnate became a tenant of the Oval Office due to the “fatigue” of voters in relation to traditional politicians. Later he confessed that he was a distrustful one. Now he is running in the elections in 2020. He does not forgive Trump for refusing to comply with and respect the U.S. decision because it is “the least American thing to do,” nor does he forget that he “provoked his followers” in the days that followed. In fact, he warned that, if he loses this election, “he will send his followers to attack the Capitol.” “We have to close the door on this chapter of American history,” he concluded. Took it out.

Biden’s surveillance

Schwarzenegger’s support is important for Kamala Harris. Apart from being an actor with powerful popular dominance, he represents the perfect example of political turnaround. He left the Governor’s office at the following point. After two consecutive terms, he left with only 27% approval from Californians. However, over the years his image and his work from that platform have been raised to popular levels. Harris has the support of Liz Chaney, another Republican dissatisfied with Trump, and the new endorsement of ‘Terminator’ on the eve of the election adds to her aspirations. A perfect solution to the headache Biden is getting from his latest mistake.

The president made a new mistake on Tuesday when he made a statement in which he described Trump’s followers as “trash”, a situation that Republicans took advantage of to rile up their base and turn against Harris just days before the election. This Wednesday, the Vice President was forced to distance himself from the man who is still his boss in an attempt to put out the fire. He declared, “Let me be clear: I disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for.”

However, the damage has already been done. Many media outlets remember this Thursday that, for some reason, Biden has been removed from the campaign. And they also focus on a situation that the Democratic Party wanted to ignore regarding its candidate’s most symbolic rally. Harris celebrated her election finale on the Ellipse in Washington with full honors and epicness in front of 20,000 supporters, while a few meters away Biden remained locked in the White House, alone, presumably listening to the cheers and applause, without inviting anyone to join him. Have been asked to participate in this program.
