It’s not like any candidate was actually good but they did pick the worst one.

Honestly, picking Trump again is a good thing for the rest of us. We know he can lose and because of the last presidential election and his base is just getting smaller.
It's not like any Republican is a good candidate. All of them think abortion is a crime and will appoint shit supreme court justices. So give me the one I know loses because they lost before.
Isn’t Nikki Haley a lot more moderate on abortion and stuff? She even called for competency tests for politicians over 75.
Nope.
That’s history, and not what she’s campaigning on. People can change quite rapidly, see Kari Lake for the opposite end. There is a solid chance that she’ll ally with republicans, but we also know what happened to bushlips.
Edit: I’m not really sure what the heck I meant this to say lol
"Believe what she says now, not what she's actually done in the past" is a terrible way to evaluate potential leaders.
Sure, people can change sometimes, but that's a reason for giving someone with a bad resume a shot at an entry level position, that's not a good reason for handing political power to someone with a long track record of being an asshole.
