    My rational side wants to see Harris win, but the anarchist in me wants to see Trump win, just to see what would happen. Not living in the US, obviously.

    Trump winning could be a disaster for the whole world since US is such a major player in basically everything, but my anarchist side does not listen.

      Would U.S.A. foreign policy be drastically affected by who becomes the president?
      As a non-American, I think it’d have more impact on the people of the U.S.A and maybe immediate neighbours like Mexico.

        I don’t know, to quote someone I read here: “The world shits when the US farts”

        US electing an authoritarian might encourage authoritarians all around the world (even more)

          That maybe a consequence but US foreign policy might improve or remain unchanged under Trump.

            foreign policy might improve under Trump

            Let’s see, Israel kills all Palestinians, Russia takes over Ukraine, then North Korea and China initiate actions against South Korea and Taiwan. You have an unusual definition of improve.

      They’ll both be disasters for the USA.

      Trump will be a disaster because millions of Americans who are currently on the brink of poverty will sink into poverty under his policies, amplifying all kinds of social problems and civil unrest.

      Harris will be a disaster because she will escalate unpopular military conflicts, overextending the military, further lessening the prestige of the US, and encouraging countries to de-dollarize.

      The next four years are going to be rough. There’s no avoiding it.
