I'm not American but to answer your question: no, I don't care who Americans elect. The country is a corrupt terrorist state and won't get any better without being split apart and/or rebuilt from the ground up

Yep. I can't see a reformist answer to the core problems of the US. A US president is still beholden to haute capital who own the mass media, the tech industries, the supermarkets, etc.. A hypothetical socialist president would turn out worse than Allende. In order to solve the core issues of the USA, it would need to cease being the USA and become some other country.

I don't know what you're trying to get me to say but your country has repeatedly threatened us (Canada) with annexation and has tariffed us to the point where people I know are barely holding onto their jobs. The thing that angers me the most about it is the fact that Americans don't even seem to consider the annexation threats a factor in why Canadians are angry at them. The amount of propaganda your country pumps into its people means that a majority of even the most progressive people are thoroughly brainwashed into believing that getting to be American is actually a blessing

I can assure you that I don't have anything nice to say about the US no matter the hypothetical scenario
