My summary of the video:
- A Harris presidency will allow the empire to continue to function smoothly. As a result, more harm will be caused towards the global south.
- A Trump presidency will cause less harm outside the US solely because Trump is incompetent and surround himself with incompetent people. However, life will be worse within the US due to the empire being dysfunctional, also the conservative social policies.
- So for the lives of Americans, Harris is better.
- For everyone else, Trump is better.
I'm asking because I don't recall seeing a lot of people with this take and this has been my take for years.
I should clarify that I am from the global south. And I don't agree with everything in the video, in particular the part where he said Americans should suffer because of the suffering the US brought to its victims. I don't see the vast majority of Americans having any control on its foreign policy, so I don't think they should be punished for it. Also, I know it's 100% hitler vs 100% hitler, both are equally bad, I agree, just that they are slightly different variants of hitlers.
Note: I'm not arguing that you should vote for Trump, hell no. If I'm an American(I am not), I would either not vote or vote PSL. This take is about the effect of one or the other getting elected.
I believed it mostly because nearly all US backed regime changes under Trump(Cuba, Bolivia, Venezuela, Hong Kong) has been failures. With exception of Pakistan being successful.
I'm not saying he'll have better policy, no, I firmly hold the opinion that US elections have zero impact on its foreign policy, rather Trump admin is worse at executing it.
