  1. Good to see. Anyone who respects women as more than breeding machines will vote for Kamala. Vance made it clear that to him, women are only suitable or useful for biological imperatives.

  2. Most Indians are Democratic. Ignore Nikki, she said Trump was unfit, then endorsed him. She is one confused Desi.

  3. “Least issues” is on point. No political candidate will be perfect, and no one will agree on every policy. Trump is full of baggage, but more than anything, he won’t solve anything for the 99% long-term.

    Dems were smart to wait until after the RNC to announce Biden’s drop out. I wonder if Nikki Haley would have been Trump’s VP otherwise.

  5. “Least issues” is a generous damn way of putting it. Trump has an “issue” every other day.

  6. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/20/nikki-haley-voters-for-kamala-harris) reduced by 92%. (I’m a bot)

    > With the president out of the race now, some of those former Haley voters have organized behind Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in a political action group called Haley Voters for Harris.

    > As a result, Haley Voters for Harris is primarily targeting center-right voters by engaging in direct communication and education on political issues.

    > Last month, Haley's lawyers sent a cease and desist letter to Haley Voters for Harris, urging the Pac to refrain from implying Haley's "Support for the election of Kamala Harris as President of the United States".

    I’m glad to see that at least some of the ex-Nikki-Haley voters aren’t following her on her path to being a total sell out.

    Don’t assume anyone is crossing the partisan voting line. Vote and sign someone else up to vote.

  9. [From the story:](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/20/nikki-haley-voters-for-kamala-harris?referring_host=Reddit&utm_campaign=guardianacct)

    Craig Snyder, the campaign director for the Haley Voters for Harris Pac, told the Guardian that the impetus for the group came after seeing how other Haley supporters continued to support her even after she was no longer a candidate.

    “When we cast our votes in the primaries we weren’t really voting for her as an active candidate,” he said. “But we wanted to send a message that this was not the kind of Republican party that we wanted, that Trump’s period as the spirit-bearer of the party needed to come to an end.”

    Snyder wondered what would become of Haley voters in the general election, and homed in on those who have made the decision, however reluctantly, to support Harris.

    “For those of us in this group, our feeling has been that while we may disagree with the Democratic party on certain policy issues, the better choice is to continue our opposition to Trump by voting Democratic,” he said. “When President Biden made the decision to withdraw, we made the decision to continue along those lines and to support Vice-President Harris.”

    If confusing people’s names in press conferences and going on incoherent ramblings at times is enough to disqualify the current President from running for re-election, the litany of things that Donald Trump has done should disqualify him for running for re-election.

    Vote Kamala not because you agree with her policies, or even because you like her, but because she’s literally the only candidate with the table stakes to be President.
