The hegemonic power’s domination of international financial institutions and systems, as well as its military dominance, puts it at the center of the geopolitical chessboard, as it has the power to suffocate the economy of any country in the world, or bomb its civilians, with almost complete impunity. This policy of international dominance, is one that has the consensus of both major parties, and one that is unlikely to have any major transformations in the event of a Donald Trump or Kamala Harris victory.

We spoke to left leaders and scholars from across the world to hear their perspective on the possible impacts of the US elections in their regions.

The Democratic and Republican parties have dominated electoral politics in the United States for over a century. Every election cycle, people in the US are forced to choose between whoever is the “lesser of two evils.”

In these elections, as both parties have pledged to continue the steady stream of support to Israel as it commits genocide in Gaza, there have been record high levels of interest in “third parties” which seek to break through the two-party duopoly and establish a new independent political pole.

Listen to activists and political leaders talk about why they have refused to vote for mainstream parties this election cycle.

As the US election comes to a close, momentum for a third party option grows.

According to Gallup, 63% of US adults agree that both major establishment parties are doing such “such a poor job” of representing the people of the US that “a third major party is needed.”

In the early hours of Wednesday, November 6, Donald Trump proclaimed his victory as next president of the United States.

“Democrats had every opportunity to win this election with ease. But instead, they chose to betray their base, to abandon the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, and to align themselves with some of the darkest figures in American history—like Dick Cheney. The Democrats made their choice, and they alone are responsible for what happened last night and the consequences it will bring to this country.”
