Nikki Haley: America Is Committing “Suicide” by Voting for Trump - Lemmy.World

To use political jargon, Nikki Haley—who has lost primary contests in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, and her home state of South Carolina—does not have a snow ball’s chance in hell of winning the GOP nomination for president. Still, she is apparently intent on not going down without a fight, and to that end, the former governor has a message for voters: Anyone who votes for Donald Trump has a death wish for America.

Haley is just as crazy as trump. Which is why normalizing him by running worse Dem candidates than we normally would is so terrible.

Suddenly people like Haley and Liz Cheney start being called “moderates” because they’re halfway between trump and a neoliberals running with a D by their name.

“everyone I don’t like is all the same”.

How do you extremists get made, anyway?

Haley’s domestic policy stance is basically the same as Trump’s. They do differ on foreign policy, and Haley is arguably more sane as she isn’t obviously supporting Putin’s goals.

It’s not “extremist” to say that two candidates from the Republican party are similar - they are in fact, similar. Haley’s campaign tagline is basically “not Trump”.

Haley does not have the Heritage Foundation’s 2025 plan in the wings. She would probably not have done a Jan 6th. If you can’t see the difference between a fascist and a shitty Mitch McConnell type, the problem with our country is you.

Nuance and details are important. People’s bullshit gut checks based on their feelings are not.
