Why Should We Stand with Jokowi Against Election Fraud?

The effective way to disable the tentacles of the octopus's henchmen is by making them entangle each other. This proverb somewhat depicts the chaotic situation in this country. Leadership succession doesn't stand alone, but rather accumulates a series of strategies over time.

The 2019 succession that gave birth to Jokowi's second term holds an agenda for 2024. The oligarchy octopus circle needs a rebirth after four terms in power but not having full freedom.

Take, for example, the Golkar party, which made a historical mistake during the reform era when they successfully brought down Soeharto, but not their beringin party. The party with a liberal ideology then split into several parties that grew with the strength of their oligarchic networks.

Gerindra, Nasdem, and Demokrat were born from the womb of the post-reform Golkar party convention. The founders and chairmen have all experienced wearing yellow suits, sitting together at the same table. The same goes for Hanura and Perindo.

Meanwhile, PKB, since Cak Imin's coup, has become an Islam-based party with a liberal orientation, no different from PAN and PPP becoming modern Islam-based parties, accelerating political freedom following the direction of the power pendulum.

Practically, only two parties remain truly committed to the struggle of ideology, namely PDI Perjuangan and PKS.

The cross-party network under the Golkar umbrella is currently competing for the leadership position in 2024 left by Jokowi from PDI Perjuangan. Through various traps of vision and policies, it becomes the initial strategy to distance Jokowi from PDI Perjuangan in the second term of his presidency.

Take, for example, the Omnibus Law, KPK Law, Minerba Law, and downstream projects. Almost all regulations are made with a bias towards investment and capitalism principles.

Jokowi has abandoned the people's principles of PDI Perjuangan with the excuse of refusing to become a party servant.

Now, Jokowi, with the highest level of public satisfaction, is in the same camp as the tentacles of the Golkar party. Jokowi, Prabowo, and Gibran ultimately become agents of Neo Orba's interests packaged as nationalism, no longer representing the people. Meanwhile, the camp of Anies Cak Imin, managed by Nasdem, is a scenario to divide the mass support based on militant ideological grounds between PDI Perjuangan and PKS so that they don't unite.

Nationalism is defined as a way for a nation to progress and develop by treating natural resources as commodities, no longer as assets. How can we sell our natural resources at the highest prices to improve the people's welfare but never think about self-reliance?

Human resources are seen as labor, not the creation of a generation that has the sovereign ability to be self-reliant in their own country. The increasing flow of subsidies is an important indication that the people are made satisfied but must not be intelligent, let alone independent.

The big coalition in Prabowo's camp, supported by Jokowi, was initially predicted to dominate the political machinery and infrastructure of the election. But as time went on, it experienced ego clashes and turmoil. They tried various ways to win, but it only created social chaos. The octopus tentacles that were supposed to spread and entangle everything are now tangled up and unable to move, blaming each other.

People are becoming more aware that the agenda is to justify any means to win one round, not Jokowi's grand idea. Fighting against Ganjar, who firmly sticks to emotional and rational approaches, has undeniably caused a shift in national support.

Let's put aside the ever-changing survey results for now. Look at the series of blunders in Jokowi's strategies to win over Prabowo and the neo Orba group. Whether it's one or two rounds, Ganjar can only be defeated by massive cheating from the election committee, which has been influenced by Jokowi's tricks.

Let's stand against cheating or else we'll let the pretenders in power.
