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.

I’m a conservative moderate independent. I very briefly considered Haley because I heard some good things about her. BUT, her views on abortion and pardoning Trump so we can “move on” as a country feel unconscionable to me.

I really don’t like Biden, but I can’t blame him for running for reelection. Incumbent presidents tend to have an advantage with voters. Part of the reason I dislike him is that my ideal candidate, Warren, is unlikely to run in 2028.

And the thing I admired about conservatives is no longer valid. I can respect that you have a different view than I do, and that you stand by your values. Republicans threw away their values and are set to throw away democracy to accomplish their goals.

And the thing is, I would vote for a literal flaming pile of poop over Trump and Biden certainly is better than that, as much as I don’t like him.

So you and people like you turned 1 of our 2 political parties into a giant dumpster fire that threatens world wide stability…

And now you want to lecture Dems on what kind of candidates we should be happy with?

Why would anyone care what your opinion is on political candidates?

Go fix your own house first instead of burning down half of the only remaining house.

Thanks for displaying what it looks like when one is siloed-off and can no longer muster the good faith required for a simple conversation across ideological lines.

Why would anyone care what your opinion is

Ironic.

good faith? HAhahahahahaha Man, the early 90’s called, laughed and hung up. Newt Gingrich much?

Yes, good faith.
You know, the thing you lack when skipping over the substance of a person’s argument, even while rushing to equate them with Newt Gingrich.

That’s some fine petard hoisting.

American conservatives haven’t done or said a single thing in good faith in the last half a century. You don’t get to ask others to do what you’re unwilling to do.
Such a sweeping statement is useless on its face. An educated look at an exit pool from within the last week leaves this analysis in tatters.
