i think domestically, internationally in general, and possibly in gaza tbh:
gaza: trump has said directly that he wants to level gaza and take it over for the US; the democrats at least paid vague lip service to “red lines” and shit - i don’t know what was happening behind the scenes; it didn’t seem like much, but we can never know how much worse it could have been without that. i feel like trump is definitely worse for the palestinians, based solely on his rhetoric
internationally: people will die in ukraine; perhaps a lot of people, and who knows whether the conflict will escalate further from here given the fragmentation trump has and will cause
domestically: yeah i don’t think i even need to go there
however you slice it, trump is going to cause significantly more deaths… im not okay with “supporting genocide”; it makes me absolutely livid that no matter what happens genocide will be the outcome… but not making a choice definitively causes more loss of life
i understand for sure the argument that if you vote for democrats anyway, where’s the line? when do you punish them so that they learn? it’s frustrating as fuck for sure… and that’s a valid argument, but in that case you’re still making a choice: you’re sacrificing all those lives over the next 4 years to maybe teach them a lesson (that they didn’t learn last time with hillary)
granted, i’m not a US citizen so my “support” is limited to trying to convince people on the internet to not fuck over the world
gaza: trump has said directly that he wants to level gaza and take it over for the US;
Biden was leveling Gaza, and Harris said she’d keep giving Israel free reign to engage in a genocide.

That was going to happen, sooner, or later. It was going to escalate, because the aggressor was given very little reason to NOT escalate it.
however you slice it, trump is going to cause significantly more deaths…
Honestly, the raw numbers will likely be about the same. The difference is where. Right now, it looks like “mostly in the US”.

And this is why you never support things like genocide, or stripping people of their rights. Not just when it’s the other party doing it.

Its a great lesson for other countries to not rely on the US, a fascist state,.
