    This gives me hope, if people truly hate the populous figure head, then it’s not sustainable long term.

    Then again, people hated Stalin…

    Haley also told Brennan she hasn’t been asked to campaign for Trump and isn’t advising him or his campaign, but she remains “on standby.”

    and there you have it. happy to be his dishrag - pulled out and put away as needed.

      Edit: word, republican-lites


      It reminds me of the Republican-lites.

      Bernie Sanders fell in line in 2016, 2020, and now in 2024.

      As well as the squad and AOCPelosi.

        In the US Republican and Democrat (with a capital letter) aren’t used to talk about political leanings, it’s ok to call the Democrats by their name while also keeping in mind that they’re mostly conservatives by international standards, it makes it much easier to understand what you’re talking about than “Republican-lites”.

        At least Sanders and the likes don’t care much for the establishment so they do come out and say things that go against what the Democrats platform is. They’re much more like the Cheney (Dick and Liz) that announced they wouldn’t vote for Trump than they are like Haley that doesn’t have the guts to actually say she lost to a sociopath.

    backs his policies

    Which can be summed up as “do whatever puts more money into the pockets of rich people, especially Trump himself”.

    she already flat backed herself by endorsing the orange traitor / brain worm infected MAGA ticket. Her days in the GOP of the future are done.

      If trump is elected, she will be lucky not to be in a gulag of some sort within the first six months. They’ll retroactively remove birthright citizenship, including hers, and round her up with all the other undesirables.

    Trump is the most accurate representation of conservatives in U.S. politics. This has been proven time and time again for over a decade. He accurately represents them. He is them.

    Hey Nikki? Hey, maybe that’s not a good thing. Maybe that’s something you shouldn’t be happy about, and something you should push back against if you actually care about your party or your country.

    What’s that? You only care about your own skin?

      The reason there is a “party system” at all is because of our voting system. It forces a two party system and if you don’t listen to the parties you’ll throw your vote away. If we switch to Ranked Choice Voting this wouldn’t be a problem anymore and we’d be able to actually elect the most popular candidate.

        But then the corporations wouldn’t be able to control legislation and that just won’t work (for them).
