Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Saturday questioned Donald Trump’s mental fitness after he appeared to confuse her with former House speaker Nancy Pelosi when talking about the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol.
If she manages to get people to hate Trump, there’s a possibility that they won’t go vote at all, since there’s “two bad guys” there.
This decreases how many votes Trump would get but doesn’t decrease how many Biden would get, since, I’d guess, people won’t be deciding between her and Biden, but her and Trump.
I can’t speak for everyone, but as someone who went all in on Bernie Sanders and donated money to his campaign despite being broke, because I wanted him to have every little piece he could get to win, I sucked it up and voted for Hillary Clinton. When I heard Donald Trump say he’d keep us in suspense about accepting the results of the election if he were to lose, that was all it took for me to put my whole heart into Clinton. I was terrified he’d win and I was terrified of what would happen if he lost. I’m still terrified. January 6 was a mess, and that mess isn’t even close to being over.
All of the Sanders supporters that I knew personally voted for Clinton, that’s just my little anecdote though.
Not really. Unless you want to argue that people who preferred Bernie wouldn’t vote for her in the general because they preferred Bernie in the primary. But I kind of suspect those people wouldn’t have liked her even if Bernie didn’t run.
That’s not how a two party system works.
It kinda is though.

Isn’t that essentially (one of the reasons) why Hillary lost in 2016? The left was divided between two candidates and neither won.
