President-Elect Joe Biden is ready to start a new career with Kamala Harris at the White House11/7/2020
According to election results reported by the Associated Press, Joe Biden won 290 votes against Donald Trump with 214. This victory was predicted by Barack Obama when campaigning for Biden and Kamala Harris. This big win was a new record for Biden that led the former vice president to start a new career with Harris at the White House.
The citizens of the United States sincerely hope that this country will reunite for the welfare of its people, especially during difficult times due to the global pandemic caused by this Corona Virus. Joe Biden had a lot to do to start his first 100 days in charge of Washington DC. Celebrating victory as the 46th US President doesn't have to be an exaggerated euphoria, even the honeymoon period as the new president should be shortened. Biden and Harris with the new administration must start working in a real sense.
There will be many congratulations in the next few days to Joe Biden as Chosen President and Kamala Harris as Vice President Chosen from the supporters and community who admire them with a hope for a better world. World leaders will do the same soon.
Biden and Harris should interpret this victory as an important mandate in the four years of their administration to the welfare of the American people. The world is also tired of various conflicts and trade wars between the USA and China.

In contrast to the attitude of Donald Trump, who expressed his suspicion about the potential for vote fraud in the 2020 presidential election, Joe Biden was calmer and asked his supporters to be patient.
The response of the former vice president in the era of President Barack Obama was expressed in his tweet on his Twitter account, "Be patient, folks. Votes are being counted, and we feel good about where we are". Meanwhile, ft.com reported that Joe Biden called for "patience" and said "we feel good about where we are" even as the Trump campaign has filed several lawsuits in states that are still counting ballots.
Joe Biden's two-term experience as Vice President in President Barack Obama's administration has made him understand how to behave as a real statesman. His long experience as a senator also gave him a lot of insight into the importance of communication, both politically and with fellow human beings.
Biden's calm demeanor seemed to be needed by the American people, who are divided because of political problems and the impact Covid-19.
In a domestic and global context, Joe Biden can be more cooperative and friendly as a new leader, because of the Covid-19 issue that has serious implications for human health and the economy.
Donald Trump considered having underestimated the dangers of Covid-19. As we know that he was hospitalized for exposure to the Corona Virus, Donald Trump's attitude did not change. Meanwhile, Biden shows empathy for the community for the impact that occurs on human safety because of this Corona Virus. The world can hope that the leadership of Biden and Harris will lead the world in a better direction.
Terkait pro kontra antara setuju dan menolak UU Cipta Kerja sudah terjadi sejak dibahas dan semakin heboh setelah DPR mengesahkan Omnibus Law itu pada 5 Oktober 2020. Tejadi pula demonstrasi yang dilakukan para serikat pekerja, mahasiswa, juga para pelajar yang masih di bawah umur.
Sempat ada vandalisme dan perusakan terhadap fasilitas umum di Jakarta dan kota lainnya. Para pendemo sudah diingatkan untuk mengajukan gugatan namun unjuk rasa tetap terjadi.
Akhirnya Presiden Jokowi meneken RUU tersebut sehingga sah menjadi UU Nomor 11 Tahun 2020 tentang Cipta Kerja. Mereka yang menolak UU Cipta Kerja pun mengajukan gugatan resmi ke Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) di Jakarta.
Para hakim MK memang punya kewajiban konstitusional untuk menerima gugatan dari pihak yang punya legal standing dan didasari alasan logis yang kuat untuk. Para hakim berwenang menolak kalau gugatan tersebut tidak memenuhi syarat dan ketentuan yang berlaku.
Penting difahami bahwa UU Cipta Kerja adalah sebuah undang-undang yang menyatukan 79 UU menjadi satu UU sehingga disebut Omnibus Law. Istilah resminya setelah diundangkan adalah UU Cipta Kerja. Para pemohon (penggugat) harus membaca UU tersebut dengan cermat dan memilih pasal mana yang akan dijadikan dasar hukum gugatan.
Hakim Konstitusi Wahiduddin Adams mengingatkan pemohon agar berhati-hati dalam mencantumkan pasal yang dimohonkan untuk diuji sebagaimana dilaporkan liputan6.com (5/11/2020). Hal itu dinyatakan oleh Wahiduddin ketika memeriksa permohonan uji materi Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja yang diajukan DPP Federasi Serikat Pekerja Singaperbangsa itu. Wahiduddin Adams menilai ada ketidaksinkronan antara objek yang diuji dengan tuntutan pemohon.
Menutur laporan rakyatsulawesi.com (5/10/2020) Federasi Serikat Pekerja itu keberatan dengan Undang-Undang Cipta Kerja klaster ketenagakerjaan, yakni Pasal 81 angka 15, angka 19, angka 25, angka 29 dan angka 44 UU Cipta Kerja.
Permohonan ke MK adalah upaya pamungkas yang bisa dilakukan oleh para pihak yang menolak pasal-pasal dan ayat tertentu yang ada pada UU Cipta Kerja. Keputusan MK adalah final dan tidak bisa diajukan banding atau PK seperti proses hukum di Mahkamah Agung (MA).
Agar permohonan dapat diterima maka para pemohon harus cermat dan teliti, bukan hanya didasari semangat saja. Logika hukum dan alasan yang diajukan harus kuat dan tidak tumpang tindih dengan kepentingan politik misalnya.
Para pemohon juga perlu memilih pengacara yang hebat dan ahli di bidang hukum konstitusi dan ketenagakerjaan, sehingga bisa membuat argumentasi yang kuat pada saat persidangan. Penasihat hukum yang mumpuni pasti mahal biayanya, baik untuk konsultasi maupun saat tampil di sidang MK.
The presidential election in the United States is just a few days away. The international community is also waiting for who will win the elections that will take place in the era of a global pandemic. Maybe Donald Trump will remain in the White House, or Joe Biden who will be based in Washington DC with Kamala Haris as his vice president?
Television and social media viewers have watched the Biden VS Trump debate, which is considered not to reflect how a debate should take place, especially in the first debate.
It looks like the intelligence of US citizens is being tested by the universe before they make a choice. Will there be an inner battle in their hearts, between logic and emotion.
Meanwhile, communities outside the United States also have a unique view of their choice if they are US citizens. There are citizens in Asia who prefer Donald Trump to win the presidential election. The opinion of Iranians is divided.
Some of them don't have a particular preference for Joe Biden or Donald Trump. But some prefer Joe Biden because he comes from the stronghold of the Democratic Party. They consider that the policies of Barack Obama and the Democrats are more friendly towards Iran, which gives Iran a gradual opportunity not to continue its nuclear weapons program. The citizens of Taiwan and Hong Kong are more comfortable if Trump wins because he will still tough on China.

*Sumpah Pemuda Meneguhkan Inklusivitas*
@pmsusbandono 28 Oktober 2020
_“Mumpung masih banyak yang bisa dihubungi, ayo kita reuni via zoom”._
Pesan dari seorang teman SMP, yang saya terima melalui WA, tadi pagi. Persis peringatan Sumpah Pemuda, yang ke 92. Tiba-tiba imajinasi muncul. Kumpul teman-teman lama selaras dengan semangat Sumpah Pemuda. Sekaligus mengingatkan suasana masa lalu di Semarang, 60-40 tahun lampau. Asep, Amsal, dan Made adalah teman SMP. Terasa mereka sama dengan kebanyakan dari kami. Baru kemudian tersadar bahwa Asep orang Sunda, Amsal dari Minang dan Made, tentunya, asli Bali. Dulu kami belajar dan bermain tanpa ingat asal-usul mereka. Asep dan Amsal jelas Muslim, tapi Made Hindu. _“So, what gitu lo”?._
Didik, Sigit dan Onky kawan SD. Dua pertama asli Jawa, pintar main bola dan beragama Islam. Onky berayah Sunda dan beribu Jawa, selalu ramah dan mudah berteman. Tak saya ketahui apa agamanya. Ada juga Hinza Simanjuntak yang Batak, Protestan dan Gwan Kiem yang keturunan Cina, Katolik. Bing Sien beragama Budha dan pintar main bulutangkis. Ayahnya pedagang kaya-raya, dan sering nraktir teman-teman pribumi yang sangunya pas-pasan. Semuanya mengalir begitu saja, tanpa paksaan, tak ada tekanan.
Kadang-kadang kami berkelahi karena salah satu curang saat main kasti atau sepakbola. Biasanya, Sioe Bing, yang bapaknya pengusaha krupuk, menjadi penengah. Perselisihan segera usai dan kami berangkulan lagi. Sekali lagi, perbedaan primodial tak pernah melahirkan masalah.
Tahun 1990-an, saat tingggal di camp, daerah operasi perminyakan di Lirik-Riau, hari-hari raya keagamaan selalu dinanti kedatangannya. Hari raya apa saja, agama apa saja. Hari raya identik dengan silaturahmi dan makan kenyang, sampai tak ada ruang kosong di perut kami.
Tak kecuali setiap Natal tiba. Rumah kami penuh tamu sejak pagi hingga malam. Semua bergembira, bernyanyi, tertawa dan tentunya mengucapkan selamat kepada yang merayakan. Tak ada perbedaan, meski suku dan agama kami berbeda-beda. Gantian, saat Idulfitri atau Imlek, kami berputar keliling kota, mengunjungi sahabat-sahabat yang merayakan. Lontong opor di saat Lebaran atau kue ranjang ketika Sin Chia menjadi makanan favorit yang ditunggu-tunggu. Itulah persaudaraan, itulah persahabatan, itulah tebaran cinta-kasih. _"Barangsiapa yang suka diluaskan rizkinya dan ditangguhkan kematiannya, hendaklah ia menyambung silaturahmi”._ (Shahiih Al-Bukhaariy). Itu dulu, bagaimana sekarang?
Semakin ke sini, semakin banyak orang lebih mudah memilah sesamanya berdasarkan perbedaan, bukan persamaannya.
Suku atau agama yang tak sama dianggap beda identitas dan dikeluarkan _(to exclude)_ dari komunitas. Bahkan asal daerah dari suku yang sama atau beda aliran dalam satu agama pun, menjadi persoalan besar untuk berdampingan hidup. Kesadaran hidup inklusif semakin luntur. Padahal, menjadi fitrah manusia Indonesia untuk cenderung berkumpul dan bersatu, _“zoon politicon”._ Paham dari luar, sering muncul membubarkannya, sifatnya _"outside – in"_. Masuk dalam pikiran dan hati manusia Indonesia, yang kemudian memporak-porandakan nurani dan akal sehat. Jurang perbedaan semakin lebar dan dalam. Bahkan sengaja digali. Yang semula dianggap “biasa-biasa” saja, kini dibangun untuk menjadi penghalang. _Moves_ yang jelas membahayakan kehidupan berbangsa.
Inklusif adalah terbuka bagi siapa saja. _(open to everyone : not limited to certain people)_ Sekarang mulai dipagari dengan perbedaan-perbedaan parokial yang semakin lama semakin dipertajam.
Melibatkan sebanyak mungkin orang - apa pun identitasnya - melahirkan suasana yang menyejukkan. Perbedaan adalah sumber energi dan memperkaya. Ia membuat sistem berkinerja lebih tinggi. Menyeragamkan adalah membunuh perbedaan, mendegradasi level energi menjadi lebih rendah. Perbedaan yang inklusif tidak hanya membuat kelompok menjadi lebih “hidup”, tapi juga lebih sejuk, bertahan dan awet. “Kita” lebih “tahan banting” dibanding “kami”. Sikap tenggang rasa dan toleran membuat “kita” lebih bermakna dan bermartabat. Memisahkan atau mengeluarkan orang lain dari “kita”, tak mencetak manfaat apa pun, sia-sia. Bukan kebetulan kalau para pendiri bangsa sudah mencanangkan prinsip inklusivitas dalam bentuk Sumpah Pemuda. Menyatukan tanah-air, bangsa dan bahasa dalam ikatan yang kokoh adalah strategi yang jitu. Pengingkaran yang dilakukan oleh siapa pun terhadap Sumpah Pemuda, tak hanya mencederai _dignity_ bangsa. Perbedaan adalah satu hal, mengkhianati kesepakatan bangsa adalah hal lain. Yang terakhir itu tak bisa dibiarkan, kecuali kalau ingin bangsa Indonesia bercerai-berai. Inklusif adalah merayakan perbedaan, mengucapkan “selamat datang” kepada semua orang, karena kasih-sayang adalah inklusif, bukan eksklusif. _“All are welcome. Love is inclusive, not exclusive”._ (anonim)
Setelah menyimak artikel karya Pak Sus di atas, dan menyaksikan tayangan video ini, apakah masih perlu kita bertanya tentang relevan atau tidaknya Peringatan Sumpah Pemuda di tengah ketidak pastian yang disebabkan oleh pandemi global karena serangan Covid-19 alias Virus Corona ini?
Mungkin Pak Sus siap untuk memberikan kajian yang lebih mendalam jika ada di antara kita yang mengundangnya sebagai pembicara pada webinar. Mungkin ada topik menarik lainnya yang bisa dibagikan kepada kita oleh Pak Sus.
