Cassandra Steen: The future of the US "doesn't just depend on the president"

The fate of the USA "depends not only on the president", clarifies the German-American singer Cassandra Steen in an interview.

Like many millions of US citizens, singer Cassandra Steen (40, "City") also cast her vote in the US election campaign. An "extremely important choice," emphasized the Swabian-born American in an interview with the news agency spot on news.

"Every election affects human lives – internally and worldwide due to the country's still existing position. We as a people are obliged to live up to our 'freedom' and to preserve and rebuild humanity," she explains. "Allegedly we decide who will represent us with what we know or what we don't. That's why I think the elections are extremely important, but we have to learn from the results, otherwise it won't do anything."

Time under Donald Trump: "Shift more gears backwards than forwards"

She was "very critical" of the developments in the USA over the past few years. "In the last few years more gears have been shifted backwards than forwards," she draws her conclusion under the time of Donald Trump's (74) presidency. "It has become very clear that we would rather trust actual children to say and do the right thing than adults who have remained childish in the negative."

What does she think of the fact that Joe Biden (77) won the election? "I think it's very good that the confirmation, albeit scarce, is not in the direction of an obvious narcissist," replies the singer. "I think the election result shows us once again how much growth in the direction of humanity is necessary." How things will go on for the USA under Biden "doesn't just depend on the president," said Steen. "We Americans must all finally take responsibility and seek better solutions for a wider sense of wellbeing."
