That's why Biden while being a relief to north-americans(and i completely agree) its worse for the rest of the world at least from the perspective of enforcing north-american policies and legislation worldwide (read big-co, intelligence agencies).
Given Trump focus on the internal affairs of the US, while the political climate was toxic at home, at least it let all others breath a little.
Now with Biden it will star all over again.. North-american companies, intelligence agencies, basically the status-quo interests being enforced all over..
At least now the government is caring about the environment and as while at home the policies are more left-leaning, i bet the will not be the same for foreign countries, and i expect things like copyright enforcement to gain more strength (basically all the traditional corporate and government bullies)
From the perspective of international political affairs its the resurgence of the good'ol "United Corporations of America" policy enforcement.
- lucian1900 5y agoNot sure Biden should be a relief to US citizens either, he’s the author of the crime bill after all. The only significant difference between him and Trump is aesthetic.
- officeplant 5y agoNah as an American its a massive relief to have someone more predictable in office. Even if he stands for a lot of what is wrong with the status quo and weak center politics. It has been kinda nice to wake up these last few months and not open my phone to check on how the clown in charge was continuing the circus acts on a world stage.
- lucian1900 5y agoAesthetically, sure. Materially, nothing has changed.
- mrandish 5y agoI agree completely. Strangely, the term "two party system" might lead one to assume there's a meaningful difference in real-world policy outcomes. Sadly, this is all too rare and, in practice, the differences are mostly in the claimed intentions and not the delivered results. As an American, please accept my apology for all uninvited interference in the economic and political affairs of other nations.

This is all super complex, gigantic, out of our hands mess that is hard to make it advance even a little. I know how it feels. But its good to know that you care, and that's the reason why we should never fall for cheap generalizations.
