Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Just wait until she drops out:

"Trump is the leader we need, he's bigly strong, aced all his cognitive tests, he's super rich and therefore smart, Biden is too old, blah blah."

[–] LopensLeftArm@sh.itjust.works 62 points 9 months ago (4 children)

I'm hanging on to the pipe dream that she eventually drops out and endorses Biden. Can you imagine the reaction of Trump and his gang, the sheer apoplectic fury would like to make his head explode.

[–] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 40 points 9 months ago

Not really, they'll just say she was a plant the whole time, like Trump has done with his last 4 terrible lawyers.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Dude, back up off the pipe. She’s not going to throw away all her money.

[–] Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social 12 points 9 months ago

Things like that have happened a lot and nobody's head has exploded, so I'm not holding my breath.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 9 months ago

Omg, you just gave me something to dream about.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 36 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm hoping her strategy is to stay in until the bitter end just in case Trump gets disqualified from the ballot.

[–] aniki@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I voted for her in the primaries!

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

If nothing else, I want her to keep running because she's just causing further chaos for Trump and splitting the Republican votes

[–] GiuseppeAndTheYeti@midwest.social 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Why? She's also a racist bigot.

[–] deo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 9 months ago

i live in a red state, so much so that some races in the general election are uncontested. if i don't vote in the republican primary, i essentially don't have a say in anything because i will be out-voted in the general even if there are multiple candidates. so i hold my nose and try to find the least bad option in the republican primaries. I did vote in the democratic primary in 2016 and 2020, though, b/c i had to support the Bernie man, so it depends on the circumstances. This is what our FPTP voting system has reduced me to.

The only thing you can do is fuck things up in the primaries. Its a good strategy.

"He can grab my Pussy whenever he want, where ever he wants! My name is Nikki Haley, and I approve this message!"

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 11 points 9 months ago

When you're rich, they let you do it.

“Trump must go!”

“Who must go?”
