Why not a more aggressive animal like a crocodile, snake, jaguar, macaw, piranha or something like dat?

Guyana is good fo laughs!

I don’t take it serious.  I read some documents.   On economic plan his key initiative is to increase consumer spending.  It’s all bs.  

Vish, come home to the PPP and lets kick them PNC hoodlums out of power.  Embrace yuh coolie side of yuh duglaness.  Remember, that cup could carry milk and honey.

The AFC is still a wild card.  If they get a couple seats, they are  potent if they remain independent.  They should not merge with PNC.  

LOL,

Yo banna...you funny,

...you just cuss me out on another thread and accuse me of being a PNCite when I argued that the PPP Linden list could possibly be emblematic of tokenism, and that even if the people on that list might be credible (which is doubtful) I argue that this does not necessarily automatically translate into inter-ethnic or multi-ethnic support for the PPP. 

Now you want to extract the "coolie" blood from me.

 

While I understand that Indos here have issues with the PNC (and Afros have issues with the PPP), Guyana's problem is not going to be solved by removing the PNC and putting in the PPP. Both parties have a sordid history. The PPP getting in power in 2020 (also doubtful) will only continue the problem, represented in a microcosmic way by Guyanese who interact on this discussion board..

I will say this to you and all the Indos out here who seem genuinely concern about Guyana. This is is something that most Indos do not seem to understand, and which is sure to upset the Afros reading this. But I say this with confidence because I have the unique opportunity to integrate with members on both sides of my family who are Indo and Afro.

Here is what I am saying: The 2020 election will not be free and fair, more so, especially if the PNC feel the numbers are not in their favor.  The PNC and Blacks will make every attempt to retain power, largely because they are convinced that the PPP is the worst alternative. EVEN IF AFROS KNOW IN  THEIR HEARTS THAT THE PNC HAS RIGGED OR RIGGED IN 2020 THEY WILL SEE IT AS A NECESSITY AND WILL TURN A BLIND EYE AND GIVE THE PNC A PASS. 

Nothing is going to change that reality, including the ABCs...unless Indos become more radicalized and are willing to demand their fair share BY ANY MEANS or are prepared to roll up their sleeves and change the mindset of Indos (I am not advocating violence, lets not go there). As of now, those in power have no respect for any of your leaders in the PPP, some for good reasons. 

I have no horse in this race, except to find a solution to the problems Guyanese face. I still have family there. I live in NY and I cannot vote in Guyana.

The one ray of hope, a distant one, which you touched upon here relates to the AFC (or a possible Amerindian Party) If this party (or parties) can muster enough support to become the power-broker, and act independently of the PNC or PPP, then there might be a ray of hope for Guyanese to leave their racial bagage behind. 

Peace.
