      Kamala would have defended DMCA and Big Tech to the death. The only difference might have been a little less crypto grifting, but it’s nonsense to suggest there would have been a major difference on the issues this article is actually discussing.

        That’s a bit of a disingenuous question, no?

        What the hell do you think would not have happened?

        • Doge?

        • The unlawful deportations to random

        • Ice?

        • countries with torture prisons?

        • War crimes in the Carribean?

        • The multiple trade wars?

        • The absolute dumping of all US allies off a cliff?

        • Bombing Nigeria because reasons?

        • The entire Epstein thing and the US president being a pedophile for the entire world to see?

        And mind you, this is not a comprehensive list, I just gotta stop at some point or nobody will read it anymore.

        Take a pick?

        For example, neither batshit tarrifs, nor insane dissolution of trust, if we’re talking purely about international economics.

          neither batshit tarrifs,

          That’s true. Harris, though, like Trump, wouldn’t be doing anything to regulate LLM’s or their financial fuckery, and that is going to be catastrophic when the game of financial musical chairs stops.

          insane dissolution of trust

          Also a good point. The American brand would be more or less intact, at least in the short-term, but I tend to think that all Harris would do is just maintain better PR, because her policies economically wouldn’t be different enough from Donald’s to keep the AI bubble from eventually popping. Democrats are just as in bed with billionaires as the Republicans, they just don’t seat them front-and-center at public events.
