If you're part of any Hmong organization, church, clan meeting, etc. then you know what I mean.
Nobody actually puts their name into the ballot box and says they want to hold the position. They don't put effort into running a campaign. I guess according to the culture, that would be too arrogant.
And super embarassing if they lost.
Therefore, what happens is OGs will nominate people who have money, formal education, is an elder, and for other nonsensical reasons. The nominees always have to put on a show of humility by saying, "oh, nominate someone else. I don't qualify, etc. etc." All the wives will be super excited at the potential of being ib tug niam phaj thas. lol
It is only more recent that the Hmong try to hold formal elections where people do have to turn in signed names and run a campaign.
But anyways, this is why it doesn't surprise me that many Hmong liberals don't see anything wrong with the Democrat stepping over them and installing Kamala Harris.
And this is the REAL REASON WHY THE HMONG DON'T HAVE A COUNTRY. They're like blacks. Too easily conned and persuaded by the liars and the cheaters. Meanwhile, combative and suspicious of the honest people.
Like blacks, the Hmong easily fall for flowery words. They don't want true leaders. They want someone who will nurse their feelings.
