#that if blue & red would functionally be the same wrt the middle east then it'd functionally be the same domestically as well

like, trump vs. kamala re: palestine, of course both sides are fucking terrible. of course, it was really dumb for people to think that trump would be Better, and i think it was marginally less dumb (still dumb, and i'm calling myself out here) to think kamala would be Better. i'm unsure whether trump getting his hands on palestine will be substantially worse than israel's continued occupation of palestine and don't know if it's possible that that would actually happen.. i do know that the administration is fixated on imperial development and that netanyahu's hands are possibly tied when it comes to diplomatic relations with the u.s. and he may have to concede to trump. there are people who are much more qualified to publish opinions on that than me. but when it comes to almost every other issue from the election - our relationships with canada and mexico, american education, wealth inequality, and pretty much all other domestic issues - we'd be substantially better off under kamala. like, i do hate to be dramatic and i'm sure some of you are reading my posts thinking i sound like a moron, but the facts and overall tone point to things getting really bad, really quickly for people who aren't white men in america. absolutely, the status quo would have been better than this.
