and would she be any better than biden/trump/obama? i honestly haven’t paid her any attention.
I don’t know who Tom Pool is, but I’d stop listening to him if I were you. He’s an idiot, a crackpot or (most likely) both.
I know him, and you are indeed correct: He’s both, as well as other traits common in the right-wing shitmosphere.
he used to be a real journalist and he was great at finding conflicts on the ground and livestreaming them. something happened in the last 10 years, but he was, truly, a good journalist.
Dude. He never was a “real journalist” he’s a hack and a conspiracy theorist.
he was hired by multiple news organizations, and he livestreamed ferguson and j20. (though his political bent was already starting to become a problem by then).
he was a journalist. it’s sad what he’s become.
If he’s no longer a journalist, and it’s sad what he’s become, and his political bent is infecting what he says, then why the duck are you still listening to him?
hope.
It’s been three years, it’s time to move on.
that’s what my wife and friends tell me
Hope for Nikki Haley?
hope that he starts doing news again
Is he a gamergate moron? Timing would work.
i don’t recall him wading into that much at the time, but he’s definitely neck deep in culture war shit now.
Lol that’s never going to happen
Might be better than trump, in that she hasn’t pledged state sponsored political retribution and throwing out The Constitution, but Haley is still a Republican through and through and there is zero chance of a rational dem voting for her over Biden.
I think the idea is that they vote for her in the Republican primaries, not the general.
only actual answer so far. thank you.
Tim “gets his philosophy from Marvel movies” Pool doesn’t know shit about anything.
thanks
Why would you ever believe anything from Tim Pool? He does nothing but spout bs for engagement revenue.
He does nothing but spout bs for engagement revenue.
lately. once, he went fact-finding. but that was so long ago, most probably can’t remember.
ok… what he did once doesn’t matter, what he does lately is relevant to something he just suggested.
i was a bit incredulous, that’s why i asked here.
Yeah, any suggestion that Dems would switch their party to GOP just to get a more favorable candidate to probably vote against is likely nonsense. It’s difficult to believe a significant number of Dems would vote for her considering her laughable stances on historical racism and slavery.
Obama? What? Is that something else some dimwitted right wing grifter said?
obama was the last democrat i voted for for president. i was hoping haley might be better than him.
That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. What political positions do you hold?
fuck. I deleted my first reply while trying to edit.
I was a liberal inn 2008, fell for syndicalism for a while and now I lean heavily toward galleanist insurrectionism, though I also like black anarchism.
baby, I’m an anarchist
That’s cool, but why would you consider Nikki Haley? She’s an outright Republican fascist, which is the opposite of that.
as i said, i didn’t actually know anything about her.
I’m an anarchist. I was a liberal in 2008, fell for syndicalism for a long while and now prefer galleanist insurrectionism. I am starting to like black anarchism now, tho.
No, no and no!
Nikki Haley would likely win against Biden.
She’s (relatively) young, she’s a woman, she was born to immigrant parents, she’s taken a tough stance on Russia, she’s not obviously nuts.
If anything, the democratic establishment wants Trump to be the candidate. It’ll make a Biden re-election easier.
none of this really answers my questions. iguess the suggestion she would beat biden implies that democrats wouldn’t really want to nominate her, but who can say?
It does.
Democrats want Biden to win the election. Haley being nominated makes that harder.
If they don’t want her to be nominated, they’re not going to help her get nominated, are they?
5 second google:
A POLITICO analysis shows the former South Carolina governor is winning swaths of moderate voters who’d pick Joe Biden if Donald Trump wins the GOP nomination.

GOP’s Haley attracts non-Republicans … also regularly attracts swing voters who backed President Biden in 2020 … Leaning into her appeal to the political middle on the trail, Haley highlights surveys that show her leading Biden by double digits — 17 percentage points in one recent Wall Street Journal survey
43 percent of Haley backers in the state said they would vote for Biden if Trump is the GOP nominee …
Democrats acknowledge Haley could pose more of a threat to Biden than Trump, so they are tying her to the former president on virtually every issue … Democrats privately acknowledge that she would likely represent a worrisome opponent for Biden, citing polling that shows the former governor as the best-positioned candidate to unseat the sitting president in the general election.
