      Could be one reason we haven’t seen a running mate yet. That would give them a backup plan if they were already rallied behind somebody else.

      Though I suppose equally well, no one had wanted to be committed to partnering with him before they saw how these trials played out.

        Haley literally sharpied the words “finish them” on materiel being sent to Israel. Anyone swearing off Biden over his Israel policy is sure as shit not gonna support Haley. Or who knows, maybe they would, I think a third of them are cosplaying, another third accelerationists, and the remaining third severely misguided idealists.

            Fair points all around, except I can’t say the “acknowledging it” part has matched my experience. As I’ve seen it, they seem to be more content to shove their heads in the sand and pretend FPTP isn’t real and that the system isn’t set up to keep anyone without a [D] or [R] nomination from being electorally viable. Like, I tend to be very laissez-faire with political discussions if people aren’t using hate speech or blatantly acting in bad faith, but that crowd always has me teetering on the edge of reporting their comments for spreading misinformation.

            Predicable Republican Fuckery 2024!

            She’s terrible, but far more sane than Trump. I hope it works.

        but if the election were to be held today, I think Haley would beat Biden easily.

        Are you taking into account the write-in votes for Trump from people who think tuh meedya is lying to them about him being dead?
