Those who had excess money to waste on a vote trip in DC may have represented others and themselves but not all US diasporans.Pole sana to the two who narrated their disappointment that most diasporans never registered to vote.But I wonder how a normal person can trash almost $1000(two trips) to vote for elite gangsters whose main job is looting your taxes.TOTAL RUBBISH.
Diaspora votes are a Joke; a Small drop😪 in a Big😭 ocean.
Diasporan communities with vowels at the beginning of their last/surnames and the gatundu relatives were the main voters hence no surprise
