In terms of Palestine? I don’t know how you yanked that interpretation out. If it doesn’t change with either party then the only reason to vote Trump is spite, followed by a leopard eating your faces.
In terms of everything else? Yes and no. I do know we would not have:
- Further rollback of civil liberties of women
- a tax plan (impending) intended to trap women in marriage
- brown shirt army stalking people and performing street executions
- war with Iran
- gas prices that will continue to rise long after the war with Iran is done
- A rollback on all solar and wind programs / projects
- rollback of consumer protections re banks, credit cards, junk fees
- halt on internet being made an essential utility
- a tax plan that pushes billionaires toward becoming trillionaires
- NIOSH gutted, good luck with work safety gear manufactured from here on out
- Elections being gutted for midterms via the US postal service
- Speech, now, you can’t even protest Israel without being arrested or booted.
- Impending collapse of the dollar
- Cuba
- All those dead fishermen in South American waters
- Further privacy erosion in favor of Google, META, Microsoft, etc
- Disrespect and disenfranchising military vets, like Kelly and all the randomly expelled career generals in an attempt to make the military another brown shirt brigade
- And I’m sick of listing this crap.
Arguably, 9 & 16 would probably still happen, but in slower subtler ways. The rest? Every spite vote or lack thereof made it happen.
I don’t like our two party system. But unless you have an actual solution that fixes it at the time of an election, then the spite play does indeed hurt all.
