    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.

        Same story we saw in 2016, Trump has no policy other than destroying American institutions and the status quo, so people get this sort of collapse fetish and pick him for that reason alone.

      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.

            Haha, u kidding?

            They will improve with authoritarians, where Trump can personally benefit from.

            For everyone else it will worsen and set global policies back by at least one decade.

      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.
