Wdym you don't think Harris was better for the US? /s
To the downvoters: this isn't a Dems vs republicans issue, it's a US issue. It's a uniparty system that's working as intended, which is why it needs to be completely abolished and revolutionized.
If you don't think Harris would be better for the US than Trump or that she would only let in white people from South Africa, you're insanely delusional.
While it is definitely a US thing, it's also a Republican vs Democrat thing. Neither party is even good, but one is way worse in almost every facet than the other.
If Harris won, do you think we'd be engaged in a war with Iran right now, or that the straight of Hormuz would be closed, or that the Epstein files would be as blocked as they are? Do you think she would have signed a bunch of EOs that are illegal to enrich herself and her family? Do you believe that ICE would have invaded cities all over the country, illegally capturing minorities and murdering two people? No, none of that would have happened, because she is better than Trump, and that's a Republican vs Democrat thing.
Saying I'm "insanely delusional" isn't an argument. No, I don't think Harris would be better. Like I said, she's part of the uniparty that wants billionaire oligarchs in power with no real improvements for people.
The fact you think it's a republican vs democrat thing is strange because you should know it's a uniparty. Both republican and democrat leaders were seen in unison on Epstein Island. Obama bombed Pakistan and countries in the Middle East, other democrat leaders have been going on in their so-called war on terror in afghanistan, and so on. Each "democrat" leader that's been in power can be traced to atrocities as disgusting as the next.
It doesn't matter if Harris would differ on a specific, isolated policy (white genocide spiels), because the big picture is always the same: they are not for the people, they're for the concentration of money and power and maintenance of the status quo within a broken system.
I do indeed believe the Epstein files would remain blocked under Harris, no american leader in power (kept alive) would allow that. Democrats have been involved in insider trading to enrich themselves and their families too, so I don't know what you're getting at. Minorities? Harris was known for her mistreatment of muslims and brown people in general.
As pointed out by the other comment, I do believe the US would be involved in war w Iran or another country in the middle east. Let's face it: America is Israel's bitch and does whatever Israel wants. AIPAC owns the political system in the US.
Disclaimer, I don't think harris would have been as bad as Trump. But this is the US.
Yes, Israel is America's ally and this is Israel's war. The choice would be between letting Israel get absolutely destroyed which would have unironically happened by now if there weren't 3 carrier groups trying to intercept missiles and drones, or going to war with Iran.
Yes, as an AG she spent her time refusing to charge pedos and disproportionately arresting (and arguing against the conditional release of) minorities. She worked with a know pedophile for four fucking years and called him one of the best people she knew.
She went fairly middle class Californian to one of the richest women on Earth by the time she ended her tenure as Senator. You tell me. Maybe they would've been legal like how all other presidents massively enriched themselves in office. Maybe that'd be the difference.
It'd be way more than two, and it would be less invasion and more silent takeover based on how Biden and Obama used ICE to terrorize cities for decades.
The main difference is it would still be comfortable for the ever shrinking middle class, and it would be quiet since liberals by and large don't listen to unapproved news sources for information. Just like Obama's kills of US citizens across the world, just like Biden's record number of child arrests, many of whom are still detained in "Trump's" ICE facilities (or just missing).
Oof, this is certainly a take. I'll go ahead and just disagree and we can go our separate ways on this one.
Material analysis does tend to go contrary to liberal fantasy. Have a good life full of surprise and wonder at how the blue tie doesn't materially change things.
Don't you dare try to reason, mister!
