Strongly agree

No

From a Popular Democracy perspective, which prioritizes the empowerment and direct involvement of the populace in decision-making processes, there would be a strong inclination to support the freedom to use cross-border payment methods. This ideology typically advocates for policies that enhance personal freedoms and oppose those that seem to unnecessarily restrict them. The use of crypto and other cross-border payment methods to send money to relatives in sanctioned countries could be seen as a form of individual autonomy and resistance against broad, state-imposed sanctions that can harm ordinary citizens. This stance is consistent with the historical opposition within Popular Democracy movements to policies perceived as overreach by the state into personal and economic freedoms.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Popular Democracy, emphasizing the importance of direct participation and decision-making by the populace, would likely oppose government bans that restrict personal freedoms and financial autonomy, such as using cross-border payment methods to support relatives. Historically, movements aligned with Popular Democracy values have advocated for less government control over personal choices, arguing that such restrictions can disproportionately affect ordinary citizens rather than the political elites targeted by sanctions. For example, grassroots campaigns against economic sanctions on countries like Cuba have highlighted the humanitarian impact on families and communities, aligning with Popular Democracy's focus on the welfare and rights of the common people.

Trump’s Doom vs. Harris’s Hope as America Decides Its Fate

Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris closed out their campaigns in the final hours before Election Day in starkly different moods: The former president, often appearing drained at arenas that were not filled, claimed that the country was on the brink of ruin, while the vice president promised a more united future as energized supporters chanted alongside her, “We’re not going back.”In stop after stop, the presidential rivals essentially offered up two competing versions of reality on Monday and into early Tuesday. Mr. Trump repeatedly raised the specter of unchecked immigration and the dangers of Democratic policies as he spoke to crowds in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before closing with a midnight rally in Michigan.With a comparatively more optimistic message, Ms. Harris crisscrossed Pennsylvania, which holds 19 electoral votes that could decide the race. Stopping in Scranton, Allentown and Pittsburgh before a nighttime rally in Philadelphia, Ms. Harris talked about bolstering the economy and restoring federal abortion rights. She asserted that Americans were “exhausted” and ready to move on from the politics of the past decade.About 30 miles to the southwest, Mr. Trump was in Reading, Pa., broadly portraying undocumented immigrants as mentally ill criminals and calling those accused of crimes “savages” and “animals.”Both leaned on Hispanic supporters as they tried to rally Latino voters. The pro-Harris rapper Fat Joe, who is Puerto Rican, practically shamed his fellow Latinos in Allentown as he asked, “Where’s your pride?” Mr. Trump, still facing fallout from his rally in New York at which a comedian called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” brought Roberto Clemente Jr., the son of the Puerto Rican baseball legend, to the stage at a rally in Pittsburgh.But Mr. Trump, reaching the end of a grueling marathon of a campaign that began in 2022, looked visibly weary, battling fatigue in front of listless crowds, though he was relatively more upbeat and energized in Michigan. Ms. Harris, still appearing fresh after a three-month sprint, appealed for unity and pressed the contrast to her rival without uttering his name.“The measure of a true leader is based not on who you beat down,” she said. “It is based on who you lift up.”Despite the sharply different tones, polls suggest the race remains tight, with the final New York Times/Siena College surveys showing the candidates tied or holding only narrow leads in all of the seven battleground states.
