I actually do think we'd have gotten a couple more regime changes under Kamala, just not Iran specifically. And everybody would be pretending they weren't USA-executed regime changes under their pathetic democratic leader, like Syria.

@sun I’ve gotten to the point where, as someone who would never in a million years vote for Donald Fucking Trump as president, I think I finally get it. to the extent I’m able as somebody who is left-aligned at a bone deep level anyway (although still sorting out whether that means center-left statist or something more anarchist in nature.. I’m woefully deficient on theory)
@clawfulneutral there is a reason people tried trump, especially over kamala. there was a pervasive feeling that she was just the same old shit and people gave up and wanted a completely different thing.
@sun for me the tipping poi t was understanding that one doesn’t have to Be Racist™ or Be Fascist™ or even have strong authoritarian leanings to do that, because people exist in different epistemological bubbles, it’s literally possible to not be a piece of shit and come to the conclusion Trump is worth a try, even when he has a large bloc of pieces of shit backing him 1000%

@clawfulneutral I know someone who voted for trump the first time because hillary fucked over bernie in the primaries and she realized that actual democracy was impossible
