Are Indians rejecting Kamala Harris? | Faye D'Souza

[@harinidiasbandaranayake]

Slightly erroneous and misleading: Trump has stated he is against ILLEGAL immigration. That does not include NRIs who have legal means to be in the US.

[@Gaurav.P0]

This whole undocumented immigrant narrative is a blanket term that Trump will use against legal immigrants as well. Don't think Trump loves legal immigrants.

[@zerotoanime3953]

I was very curious to hear what Indians thought of Kamala. Great video.

[@nichen6966]

You nailed the main two reasons. With my family , friends and colleagues here in the US ( and in India) Modi supporters are also Trump supporters. ( Another reason for this is even though Democrat Presidents are trying to have a good relationship with India , but also time and again bring up issues of religious , and other issues, which angers Modi supporters who are hyper sensitive to any such criticism. Whereas Trump is least concerned with such issues and hence has further garnered their support. The very smart Jaisshanker has also being irked by this). In India you see the same reaction by Indian media who have a slant towards one political party. The other reason also is irrespective of Trump , higher income earning Indians who don’t want to pay higher Taxes ( as one of the major criteria even for Non Indians in America) vote Republican. So yes.. you have pretty much got the main reasons for Indians voting Democrats , Republicans, Kamala or Trump 👍.

[@sivasaikarthikeyavemuri8480]

TRUMP 2024!!!

[@prachiegohil760]

I wouldn’t say that ALL Indians are rejecting Kamala Harris. The American Presidency signals so much to the rest of the world. Having a president who is educationally qualified, has common sense, has balanced views of the world, can hold contrarian thoughts to find a middle ground - is a drastic step away from strongman politics. Political news is supposed to be boring as hell. I would like for the world to return to normal conversation of boring as hell policies instead of leaders who are invested in playing with the republic through inflammatory populist fears. From a policy perspective, we need US president who believes in climate change and continues to uphold the Paris Climate agreement. Also, reproductive freedom should be a given in the seat of democracy… reversal in progress of women’s rights in US signals that it’s okay to meddle with women’s liberties to the rest of the world. It’s also great to have a world leader talk about affordable housing and child care. For me, she wins on all these fronts.

[@FayeDSouza]

I agree with you. Climate change and inequality should be top of mind. And Gaza

[@prachiegohil760]

@FayeDSouza from what I’ve heard of Kamala Harris and rest of the Democrats, they are now supportive of a 2 state solution. Trump would probably wash his hands off the issue and let Netanyahu continue with his plans. It’s unclear whether he’d stop funding the war. So, I don’t think either side has a reasonably solid solution on Gaza. Solving that issue will require more global intervention and is an opportunity for the new world order to influence. But that’s just my perception of the issue. Looking to hear from trusted news veterans like you to bring more light to the issue!

[@paccciii]

So what were they doing in office from the past 4 years?

[@tanmay557]

Some polls show that the Indian community is still largely voting blue

[@VinnieOnlineChannel]

[@kirank5253]

[@ytubeguruji863]

I assume, Kamala is pursued as a Jamaican by indians and vice versa. While Trump is looked at as an American, which ultimately leads to the behavior.

[@pbshah106]

Think about gun violence, we need our kids to be safe in school. Kamala Harris will create laws to restrict easy access to guns.

[@dparamful]

There are already thousands of such gun laws. They're not enforced though. So, adding more laws is just for show. Besides, criminals get guns from the illegal market, which is massive and unaffected by laws (criminals are not looking for legal guns). Educate yourself on the issue.

[@ld1994]

because of Kamala and Biden The US has a WIDE OPEN BORDER with dangerous Mexico that bring in drug dealers , drug , gangs and GUNS

[@awara_aashay]

From what i have read, it seems the Biden administration was not on good terms with India, the canada situation attests to this fact as well. Trump might be rash but seems on better terms with India, so purely from Indias pov, I think it would be better if Trump wins.

[@user-vs5fj7dl6n]

Another correction regarding tax: Harris said she will increase taxes only for those who are earning greater than $400,000. Indian ethnicity earn an avg. of $100,000. Here tax increases won't affect 90% of Indians

[@josephinepolette8481]

[@GouthamPrakash1]

Seeing the poll that Faye had posted in instagram its quite evident that her channels audiance is with in a common echo chamber who is unaware of how popular trump is. For that matter we all form our own echochambers to be comfortable and surrounded with like minded people. That being said, these polls actually proove to be counterproductive and just reflects the trend of the echochamber in which the poll is beeing posted. Faye does a wonderful job and I follow her to gather news and not opinion.

[@aneeshmenon5885]

100% Agreed. Well said. These echo chambers (whether on the right or the left) are extremely counterproductive in today's democratic setup. We need to be willing to engage in good faith with people that we disagree with - which is something that's extremely lacking nowadays.

[@apuroopk]

Notice how she constructed her talking points..she thinks people are stupid and they can't see how she is favouring Harris..I hope it's just to please her followers and that she doesn't have the same opinion..cuz otherwise she is not that bright..

[@GouthamPrakash1]

@@aneeshmenon5885 I concur. When we evolve out of our echo chambers and atleast make an effort to understand people with different opinion may be we will evolve as a society. Also, I feel that Faye has made the effort to be apolitical but the question remains, can any body, for that matter any one of us be apolitical?

[@manisshthakur621]

A significant majority of men support Donald Trump, while a substantial majority of women back Kamala Harris. Trump's approach toward India has historically been more favorable compared to Kamala Harris, who has made various controversial remarks regarding India's internal policies, including the Kashmir issue.

It does look good for American women. Conservatives have been pushing Anti-choice (anti-abortion) policies in their states, and then winning would mean more reproductive rights being taken away from women. Harris win means they live to fight one more day to get their reproductive rights back.

[@FayeDSouza]

Kamala Harris or Donald Trump? Don’t forget to also say why.

[@carmelitafernandes6244]

If should be Trump for President as he will take action on illegal migrants and contain inflation. His past Presidency showed that his term improved the job scenario and contained inflation. He also resonates the American dream and is Catholic in his religious beliefs in not approving abortions. Faye is not only inexperienced but evaded all interview questions regarding her policy. Can't say whether she's pro Biden policies or wants to start a new generation of leadership. She hasn't kept ties with India despite being of Indian descent. She keeps changing her descent from Indian to Black and oddly attends Black church services when she's not even Christian. All to garner Black votes. She's not strong on illegal immigrants. And now promises to do something about it but wasn't it her who opened the US gates to them? They were responsible for much crime in the US. She's critical and bad mouthed and will stoop to any extent to win.

[@aswinvv666]

Trump. I think anyone in the left should support Trump. The control over mainstream media , the censorship attempts of social media platforms by democrats are eerily similar to what BJP is doing here in India. He has been facing a political witch hunt in the last few years. Trump's rhetoric are excessive and tiring but not that of a fascists as the MSM would want people to believe. With the likes of Dick Cheney endorsing Kamala its clear as daylight that she is the preferred candidate of military industrial complex. I find it baffling to find that anyone who protested for Palestine is willing to vote for a candidate who is 'honored' to be endorsed by someone responsible for the murder of 300,000 Iraqi civilians.

[@MsSourabh108]

Kamala Harris. Much more qualified in every way candidate than Mr Trump I think

[@anju5124]

[@partps25]

Indian-American US citizens support Trump because of shared Islamophobia. Where as aspiring Indian non-immigrants (F1 students & H1B employees) don't support Trump because he can make visa rules more stringent.

[@WhatsInAName222]

There is a section of the Indian-origin voting population that consistently votes Republican for a straightforward reason: lower taxes. Several bought into the idea that their taxes mostly go towards welfare for “lazy” people, which is also a reflection of their learned wisdom about black people. These individuals benefit from all the public services (roads, schools, social security, etc. ) but haven’t taken the time to understand America or what taxes provide in America. Trump delivers a tadka of Muslim bashing and a bro hug with Modi. There is also misogyny and bias against black people in play here. A word of caution, Faye. What will be will be but there is a good chance that the polls are way off. A simple explanation is that practically no one answers phone calls from unknown callers, so the population sample the polls are based on is probably very suspect. I have already voted for Harris because she is a conventional Democratic politician with whom I have no problems. I also consider myself an “over-informed” voter because I constantly try to understand my adopted country. The alternative is a nihilist who lacks a governing philosophy, a moral core, and basic decency. He is also a convicted rapist and felon. Character matters. Several commentators have mentioned Jill Stein. Jill Stein is that perpetual vanity candidate who shows up every 4 years, has never won so much as an election for county dog catcher, and is missing in action between presidential elections. She talks a good game but then gives it away when she reveals how she is funded by super PACs supporting the Republicans. I want more parties in the fray, but Jill Stein and the so-called Green Party barely make any contribution to the discourse and revel in playing spoiler. There is an obvious choice in this election, and it isn’t Jill Stein.

[@omkargavade]

I cannot vote since I am on my student visa-work visa yet…here is my perspective….i personally like Harris and I agree with most of her stand ranging from reproductive rights to taxes however her stand on undocumented immigrants is a bit disappointing…Biden administration is giving quick EADs to the undocumented immigrants however student population who applies for EAD (work authorizations) have to wait for months. Also, for accomodating undocumented immigrants, the fees for visas/forms that we apply for have been increased (is this fair with us?)… So in a nutshell, if I was a citizen like you I would have gone ahead and voted for Harris but as a struggling student I prefer Trump only because of the undocumented immigrants slowing down the work authorizations/GC processing with a hope that our lives might get easy!! Lets see!

[@Gaurav.P0]

​@@omkargavadeThis whole undocumented immigrant narrative is a blanket term that Trump will use against legal immigrants as well. Don't think Trump loves legal immigrants. He is an anti-immigrant whether it is documented or undocumented.

​@@omkargavadeThis whole undocumented immigrant narrative is a blanket term that Trump will use against legal immigrants as well. Don't think Trump loves legal immigrants. He is an ant!-immigrant irrespective of documents. Period

[@WhatsInAName222]

@@omkargavade Good point. And I empathize because I have been through the American immigration system and know how frustrating it is. The most significant difference between the 2 is that Harris can be expected to try and solve a problem, and Trump can be expected to milk the issue for personal gain. That doesn’t mean that Harris will solve it because if she wins and doesn’t have the House and Senate, then she is going to be stymied at every turn by the GOP. But I do get your frustration. Not having predictability in immigration is the biggest issue facing legal immigrants, particularly Indians in IT.

Thanks Faye. As a reminder to the Indian community, they need to be grateful and thank the Democrats for being here in the USofA! Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act on July 2, 1964. This landmark legislation aimed to end discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Indian immigration to the United States began to increase significantly after the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, which was signed into law by President Johnson on October 3, 1965. This act abolished the national origins quota system that had previously restricted immigration from non-European countries, leading to a notable rise in the number of Indian immigrants to the U.S. in the years that followed.
