Zomwe tili kukumana pakali pano ndi mbiri yakale. United States pakadali pano ilibe kazembe wakuda m'modzi - palibe m'modzi. Florida, Georgia, ndi Maryland sanakhalepo ndi kazembe wakuda. Palibe munthu wakuda amene adasankhidwa kukhala bwanamkubwa wa Democratic Party ku Florida kapena Georgia. Koma zikuwoneka kuti zatsala pang'ono kusintha.

Lachiwiri usiku, Andrew Gillum adapeza chigonjetso chodabwitsa ku Florida Democratic primary kwa bwanamkubwa. Amalumikizana ndi Stacey Abrams waku Georgia ndi Ben Jealous wa ku Maryland monga mtsogoleri wachitatu wanzeru, wopambana, komanso wopita patsogolo wosankhidwa kuimira Democratic Party pa mpikisano wa gubernatorial Novembala. Chisankho chilichonse chimakhala chankhanza, koma kupambana ndikotheka.

Pepani ngati munandimvapo ndikunena izi kale, koma ndizovuta kumvetsetsa mphindi imodzi m'mbiri mukakhala momwemo. Mbiri imawonedwa bwino, kumvetsetsedwa, ndi kuyamikiridwa poyang'ana m'mbuyo. Komabe, tikhoza kunena kale kuti tikuchitira umboni chinthu chochititsa chidwi kwambiri. Sindidzafika poyitanitsa mphindi ino Kumangidwanso kwatsopano, koma sitinawonepo kuthekera kwa mtundu uwu wa kuyimira ndale pamlingo wa boma kuyambira zaka zotsatira za Nkhondo Yachibadwidwe.

Kodi izi zinachitika bwanji?

Choyamba, ndiroleni ine kujambula ndi zikwapu zazikulu kwa kamphindi, ndiye ife tikhoza kufika mwatsatanetsatane.

Otsatira atatuwa amadziwika kwambiri komanso amalemekezedwa kwawo. Sizinthu zongopeka za makina andale. Iwo akhala akugwira ntchito mwakhama kwa anthu a ku Florida, Georgia, ndi Maryland kwa zaka zoposa khumi. Ali ndi maukonde andale okhazikika kumeneko. Kuwunikiraku kusanachitike, aliyense anali atamenyera kale kusintha ndipo adapambana nthawi zambiri. Gillum, yemwe tsopano ndi meya wa Tallahassee, anali wamng'ono kwambiri yemwe anasankhidwa ku khonsolo ya mzindawu ali ndi zaka 23. Abrams ndi mtsogoleri wakale wa boma yemwe adatumikira monga mtsogoleri wochepa wa Nyumba ya Oimira a Georgia kwa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi. Jealous ndi ndale woyamba, yemwe adakhala wotsutsa pazaka zake za koleji, potsirizira pake akugwira ntchito yake kuti akhale pulezidenti wamng'ono kwambiri wa NAACP.

Amamvetsetsa momwe amawonera media. Iwo ali pa siteji yaikulu. Alankhula kwa omvera ambiri. Amamvetsetsa zovuta zamakampeni otuluka ndi malo oponya voti. Iwo apanga ndi kuyang'anira magulu ndi mabungwe. Aliyense amawoneka ngati achichepere - Jealous ndi 45, Abrams 44, ndipo Gillum 39, koma kwenikweni ndi ankhondo akale andale omwe akhala pagulu moyo wawo wonse wachikulire.

Muyenera kuyambira pamenepo. Chilichonse chidzayika mbiri ya kupambana kwawo komwe sikungakhale kwake. Gillum, Abrams, ndi Jealous anapambana chifukwa moyo wawo wonse ndi ntchito zawo zinakula mpaka pano. Sindikutanthauza kuti ndimveke mwamwano, koma ndi opambana. Iwo ankayembekezera kupambana. Adapambana kale. Ndipo ndizofunika.

Onse atatu nawonso ndi othandiza, omanga mlatho pansi mpaka pansi. Ali ndi malingaliro ndi mfundo zamphamvu, inde, koma onse atatu amamvetsetsa kuti kuti zinthu zichitike m'boma kapena mdera lanu, muyenera kupanga mgwirizano wogwira ntchito wamagulu osiyanasiyana. Maziko a mgwirizano umenewo ukhoza kukhala wakuda - aliyense wa iwo ali ndi maziko amphamvu kwambiri a chithandizo chakuda chomwe amamanga ndikugwira ntchito - koma adaphunzira kalekale momwe angapangire mgwirizano waukulu kuti akwaniritse zolinga zawo.

Lowetsani Sen. Bernie Sanders. Adavomereza Gillum, Abrams, ndi Jealous, ndipo adapitanso ku Florida ndi Maryland kukachita kampeni limodzi ndi omwe adasankhidwa kumeneko. (Sanders adavomereza Jealous pafupifupi chaka chimodzi chisanachitike pulayimale yake ya June, koma adalengeza kuti amathandizira Gillum ndi Abrams patatsala milungu ingapo kuti asankhidwe.) Khama la Senator wa Vermont linathandiza kulimbitsa maziko opita patsogolo kwa omwe akufuna. Aliyense adzakuuzani kuti zinasintha. Ndipotu, Gillum tweeted zambiri pasanathe maola atapambana chisankho chake. Thandizo la Sanders silinali lokwanira kuti apambane, inde, koma zidathandizadi. Maziko ake ndi odzipereka kwambiri ndipo amamukhulupirira. Iwo amapereka. Amawonetsa zochitika. Iwo amadzipereka ndi foni-banki. Ma network a Sanders adakulitsa kampeni ya atatuwa yomwe ikupita patsogolo.

Tiyeni tiyime pomwepo kwakanthawi. Izi ndizovuta kwambiri. Posonkhanitsa mavoti akuda omwe ali otanganidwa kwambiri ndi omwe a Sanders odzipereka kwambiri, Gillum, Abrams, ndi Jealous akwaniritsa zomwe a Democrats adzafunika kuchita ngati akupita patsogolo - agwirizanitsa maziko odzipereka. a Democratic Party ndi a Berniecrats. Sichinthu chaching'ono - ndipo sindikutsimikiza kuti wina aliyense kupatulapo atatuwa omwe akufuna kukhala bwanamkubwa akanachita izi.

Ndiye ndiye nkhani yayikulu. Gillum, Abrams, ndi Nsanje adapambana chifukwa ali ozama kwambiri, odziwa bwino ndale omwe ali ndi maziko omwe adakhazikitsidwa kale omwe amadziwa kuti, kuti apambane, adzafunika mgwirizano wanzeru.

Koma ndale ndi zakomweko. Ndipo chowonadi ndi chakuti Gillum, Abrams, ndi Nsanje adapanga zosankha zingapo zofunika zakumalo zomwe zidagwirizana bwino ndi ovota. Kwenikweni, m’malo mongodumphira pakati, osafuna kusintha kwambiri malamulo, iwo anachita zosemphana ndi zimenezo ndipo anaima mwamphamvu pa kuwonjezera kupeza chithandizo chamankhwala, kusintha chilungamo chaupandu, ufulu wachibadwidwe ndi ufulu wovota, malipiro amoyo, masukulu abwinoko. ndi malipiro abwino kwa aphunzitsi, ndi zina zambiri. Nkhanizi zidakhudza kwambiri ovota - kotero kuti Gillum adapambana ndi gawo limodzi mwa magawo asanu ndi omwe adayambitsa mpikisanowo, Gwen Graham, koma adapambanabe. (Gillum anali yekhayo amene sanali milionea pa mpikisanowu, koma thandizo lake lazachuma lochokera ku mabiliyoni omasuka a George Soros ndi Tom Steyer, kudzera m'magulu awo a Open Society Foundations ndi NextGen America, zidathandizira kampeni yake.)

Gillum nayenso anachitapo kanthu pa nkhani yomwe imagwirizana kwambiri ndi ovota a Florida, omwe adawonapo kuwombera kwakukulu kwapamwamba m'zaka zaposachedwa: kusintha kwa mfuti. Adakondwerera koyambirira kwa 2017 chifukwa chobwezera mlandu womwe waperekedwa ndi gulu lamfuti mothandizidwa ndi National Rifle Association. Palibe phungu wina amene anganene zimenezo. M’malo mwake, anapeza chichirikizo cha magulu osintha mfuti monga Amayi Amafuna Kuchitapo kanthu, yomwe inamuvomereza mu April. Omenyera ufulu wachinyamata omwe adapulumuka kuwombera kusukulu ya Parkland adamuchitira kampeni.

Zonsezo zinali zofunika.
