{UAH} What is really wrong with USA?
The core problem of the United States of America is of being a successful white colony. The American Revolution was a white settler rebellion like the Unilateral Declaration of Independence of Ian Smith in Rhodedia. Theirs was successful. The problem with white settler colonies is their perpetual disdain for "non-White" people and Indigenous people. Democratization always fails to take root in a settler colony because of entrenched white supremacy. Democratization without Decolonization becomes empty. This is why Civil Rghts Movements could not achieve much. This is why its leaders like Martin Luther King and Malcom X underwent the same fate that befell Steve Biko. This is why there is consistent and systematic anti-black racism and the killing of black lives. This is why voting for Barack Obama did not change much. He sat on a white structure of power. This is why we are today witnessing insurgent and resurgent Black Lives Matter Movements. This is why USA ended up with self-proclaimed racist, xenophobes, patriarchy, sexists, and islamophobe as president (Donald Trump). Thus, a win by Biden in a successful settler colony might mitigate Trumpian lunacy and clownish politics but won't change the course and character of a settler colony. What is needed in the USA is a Decolonization struggle as an essential prerequisite for Democratization and Social Justice. Thus, the anti-systemic forces of liberation have to intensify the struggles. Its not yet Uhuru.
