Our lives depend on the upcoming midterms
Aggression serves no purpose. Insults, lack of restraint, denigration, wanting to punish others, and violence have serious consequences. intransigence has serious consequences on both the left and the right; it is the best way to loose elections. It creates enemies. Improving the world does not mean accusing others. We need more tolerance on both the left and the right. We must live together and stop fighting over every little thing. We must try to understand different points of view. We must support those who seek to unite, not those who seek to divide, those who are against others. We must commit to projects that bring us together.
Treating part of the population as deplorable, toothless, attacking a farmer or a driver because they are not green enough, treating people as undeserving or lazy, all of this is disrespectful and only serves to divide people. The victims of these insults are not going to support the projects of those who insulted them. They will lose sight of the big picture because of a detail.
JD Vance, the current vice president of the United States, comes from a modest family and was a long-time left-wing activist. He wrote a book called Hillbilly Elegy to defend the forgotten people of the republic. Unfortunately, after being rejected by some people, he was hurt enough to become a fierce opponent of the left. How many people like him have decided they will never vote green again because, for example, farmers are called polluters? How many retired people will no longer vote left because they were called fascists on the pretext that 60% of retired people voted for Sarkozy? How many young people have been called “snowflakes” for minor reasons? How many parents are criticized for their parenting? Insults are too quick to fly. If someone thinks differently, as long as it’s not hateful, it’s not a problem. We mustn’t exclude others because of every difference. In a democracy, everyone has freedom of expression and opinion. We must seek out what unites us in order to build a society.
On November 3, 2026, there will be midterm elections in the United States. If the Democrats do not seek to build a society and bring people together, there could be serious consequences. To get elected and block Donald Trump, they must stop pitting people against each other. They must stop trying to punish others. The population must unite around common values such as solidarity, equal rights, justice for all, sustainable development—and appeal to others. Universal human rights values must be defended.
We must listen to others and be curious about them. That doesn’t mean accepting everything, but seeking to understand. A society without tolerance is a intransigent society, whether it comes from the right or the left.
If Donald Trump wins, it will increase the risk that there will be no more elections in the United States in the future. It will increase the risk of war between Europe and Russia. The fight against climate change will be greatly reduced. With his economic policy, Trump will not honor American commitments, which will create too much uncertainty for companies around the world to invest and hire. Development aid will be minimal, even though American business leaders recognize the benefits of continuing development aid.

For a century, the United States has been a model for the world, with a policy defined as the “shining city over the hill” to which all the oppressed people of the world could turn, believing that a better life was possible. It is this model that is under attack, with people tearing each other apart instead of seeking common ground. It is this division that favors Trump and the right wing around the world.
This election concerns all citizens of the world.
