  For example, neither batshit tarrifs, nor insane dissolution of trust, if we’re talking purely about international economics.

    neither batshit tarrifs,

    That’s true. Harris, though, like Trump, wouldn’t be doing anything to regulate LLM’s or their financial fuckery, and that is going to be catastrophic when the game of financial musical chairs stops.

    insane dissolution of trust

    Also a good point. The American brand would be more or less intact, at least in the short-term, but I tend to think that all Harris would do is just maintain better PR, because her policies economically wouldn’t be different enough from Donald’s to keep the AI bubble from eventually popping.

      Not everybody is an AI single issue voter

        The point isn’t AI.

        The point is that Harris doesn’t differentiate herself enough from Trump’s politics for her election to mean a whole lot if you’re a working class voter or impoverished in the US, and that’s by her own admission. She literally said publicly she shouldn’t diverge from Biden’s politics.

    Only that chances are that it’s the other way round. Trump was installed to sell the tariffs to the world.

      This conspiratorial thinking is harmful and dangerous, be better

        I can’t believe that a madman could decide to remake global economic relations on his own.

  That’s a bit of a disingenuous question, no?

  What the hell do you think would not have happened?

  • Doge?

  • The unlawful deportations to random

  • Ice?

  • countries with torture prisons?

  • War crimes in the Carribean?

  • The multiple trade wars?

  • The absolute dumping of all US allies off a cliff?

  • Bombing Nigeria because reasons?

  • The entire Epstein thing and the US president being a pedophile for the entire world to see?

  And mind you, this is not a comprehensive list, I just gotta stop at some point or nobody will read it anymore.

  Take a pick?

  Have the day you voted for.

    I voted Green.

    We don’t ever get to have a positive political outcome because of the people you vote for.

      Green? As in Green Party? The environmentalist Republicans? That Green Party?
