Haley for President

🇺🇸 She could run as an Independent. It's starting to sound like a great solution to many of us. I'm not voting for anyone that is pro-Putin or pro-Russian, so Trump is out of the question, since he refuses to support Ukraine. And his stance on NATO is absurd. But I'm not voting for a pro-China administration either.

The current administration is making moves on China that infuriates many Americans. We do appreciate some of the new strategic trade policies with China, but they could do much more. They created loopholes to allow imports of solar panels from the Uyghur region of China, allowing China to make huge profits off of slave labor from our green deal. They are letting China build battery factories in the USA to get around the legislation created to ensure China does not get any of our subsidies from the green deal. They invited Xi Jinping, the Chinese Stalin, to San Francisco to speak to our tech industry execs, many of whom, by the way, are engaged in the business of surveillance capitalism. They refuse to negotiate free trade agreements with our allies, the UK and the EU, but they spent huge amounts of time on negotiating free trade agreements with non-allies in the Indo-Pacific for a new TPP that nobody wants but them. Now they are going to limit natural gas exports after we promised our allies that they could depend on us for natural gas, which will only benefit Russia and China. The current administration will be even more emboldened to bolster China at the expense of Americans in a second term. And why did the administration allow a Chinese spy balloon to traverse the entire country? They say they were concerned about the debris while it was over Montana, but Montana is nothing but open prairie for miles and miles and miles. That still does not sit well with many Americans.

Our other complaints with this administration are the border security, immigration, and transnational repression policies or lack thereof. You can't claim to be pro-democracy and then completely ignore transnational repression or continue to conduct business as usual with the countries that commit extreme human rights violations. But that is exactly what this administration has done.

Americans should not have to choose between a pro-Russia or pro-China candidate. We want a pro-USA, pro-NATO candidate.

Both of these candidates, Trump and Biden, are old-ass men. They are octogenarians. We would love a great, young, female alternative to both of them. We want a candidate who actually be alive long enough to witness how her policies have affected the world.

Haley has more than 40% of the Republican vote. That's not enough to win the primary, but it is a good number for the general election. She will do well with the Democrats too, especially if she has a Democratic VP, ensuring she will exceed Trump in the general election. Biden has issues that he may not be able to overcome. Besides Biden should have to work harder for his reelection. We shouldn't hand the presidency to Biden simply because he is not Trump. Haley would be a game changer.
