1216 independent candidates for US president unknown

The US has had presidents for more than 230 years, but only the first -- George Washington -- is known in history as an independent candidate. Candidates of two major parties -- that Republican and Democratic -- dominate on each list and cover almost all media products with political themes. Therefore, the chances of an external candidate winning, or at least, being recognised in America are almost zero.

From what did we say above, the question is “who would run for president against Trump or Beden knowing that victory is just a dream?

Well, there has been a list of 1,216 candidates for presidents since 9 October. It should be mentioned that most are not serious at all, but their name is added to the Federal Election Commission lists anyway.

In an interview for the BBC, three of these candidates have come up with arguments and reasons why they should be voted on by American citizens.

A pianist and at the same time motivating speakers, a multimiliarder and a technician IT is the protagonists of the interview in question.

Americans will see that Biden and Trump are not choice

Jade Simmons, is a mother, professional pianist, former model and a rapper. She says she's an unconventional candidate, “but these are conventional times”.

I'm the daughter of a civil rights activist and my father's ideology was that if you see emptiness, if you see injustice, you should ask yourself if it might be you who should be backed up. ”

It says its goal is to create equal opportunities, through economic, educational and criminal justice reform. And in that spirit, she's aiming to lead the least expensive <x0fudage in America's history“.

We remember that the candidacy criteria are: age over 35, U.S. birthplace and living there for at least 14 years.

Simmons says an candidacy costs at least $1 billion and she prefers to spend that money on citizens.

So is it liberal or conservative?

It's up to who you ask!”, she said. All of us, from Bernie's unhappy brothers to conservative Christian pastors, are enjoying our policy”.

Her arrival as minister and a person of Christian faith does not automatically indicate conservativeism, she says. Jade also strongly supports the rights of colored people.

Coronervirus' pandemic has overthrown this year's event at the White House, dominate the news headlines. But for Jade, the main challenge of her campaign has simply been recognition by people.

While the Republican nominated and Democrats will be on the polls in all states, the “independent” must meet a set of state criteria and entry requirements.

Mrs. Simmons's name will appear on the ballot sheets in Oklahoma and Louisiana, but in 31 other states it has been registered as “a non-written candidate”, which means that if voters physically write its name on the list, their vote will be counted. She admits that the chances are absolutely against her, but she still believes she can reach the Oval Office and if not this year, then at another moment.

I have made a decision to live my life in the service of the people

Another candidate for president is Brock Pierce, a former film actor for children and now a billionaire who is a successful technology engineer. He says that his reason for running is closely related to his concerns about America and its problems as a state.

I think we lack a real vision of the future, I mean, in what kind of world do we want to live in, in 2030? What's the plan? Where are we trying to reach, you know? You have to target something. And I see mostly a lot of mud jumping around, not many people throwing ideas to change the country. I believe in myself! I have a vision for the future“, he added.

For the last four years, Mr. Pierce has concentrated on Puerto Rico's Puerto Rico philanthropic work, where his foundation raised a million dollars for anticonvid clothing.

Asked what America's priorities should be for the next four years, he suggests that the country stop following baseless and productive ideologies. Pierce measures his success with the importance of life, freedom, and happiness.

I have a lot of liberal tendencies, just as I have a conservative presumption”, says Mr. Pierce. And I think it's time to take a collective spirit and a bold step towards the future, because all these ideologies have something to teach us”.

The life of 39-year-old has not been so unclear. When he was 19, three male actors accused him and two business partners of sexual assault. Pierce denied any charges and never had another criminal record. The three plaintiffs withdrew their cases against him and never received any personal compensation. But inevitably, the main titles of this episode have made a critical presidential election.

“We must change the foundations of this nation”

One common of these candidates is that they do not have to satisfy a majority party to get a majority vote so they run and talk about issues they represent individually.

Mark Charles is a prime example.

Professionally he worked as a computer programmer, but he is also a fiery social justice activist on issues affecting local Americans and colored people.

Its goal is to be an alternative candidate for voters who do not feel represented by Trump or Biden.

Charles is from Navajo, a small independent province south of America.

We were six miles from the nearest asphalted road, living in an Hogan chamber of traditional Navajo dwellings. In our community, there was no running water, no electricity, our neighbors were carpet weavers and shepherds“.

Our “In people “...] never mention women, specifically excludes locals and counts Africans as three fifths of one person, says Mr. Charles.

And my campaign will achieve this: if we want to be a nation where “people” really means all people, we have to do a basic job. We can't say it and want it to be this way: we have to change some of the things that this nation was founded on, such as racism, sexism and clear white superiority “. / BBC/Mapo/Mapo/
