The U.S. election has come, but not quite gone as President Trump continues to resist the otherwise apparent victory of Joe Biden. Notwithstanding that drama, what did the voting tell us about America, Americans, and democracy?

Scott Miller, political and business consultant, and Josh Steiner, investor and adviser to Bloomberg LP, are deeply immersed in U.S. politics, from significantly different perspectives. In this episode of New Thinking for a New World, they dissect the voting and the candidates. Six months ago, in our “The American Condition” episode they were optimistic that the U.S. would cope with the stresses of a difficult, partisan year. Are they still?

Thank you Tällberg Foundation for an insightful and well balanced debate of the US Presidential election. My comment concerns two issues I have not heard much about in the US elections debates and commentaries; nothing in this podcast either. Does it mean that both Presidents/Parties agree on continuing business-as-usual on these two fronts : (1) What about the US military, its many bases around the world and its threats/provocations to Russia and China? What about actions such as killing an Iranian general on diplomatic visit in Iraq? What about the cheering of an Israeli state violating International law in occupied Palestine? – (2) And what about the hundreds of school shootings in USA and the quite appalling gun laws?
