She was in the cold open as herself. It looks like they’re trying to do to her like they did to Trump back in 2015 when they had him host.

      Her only chance is if Trump dies or gets blocked from being on any ballot

        Pretty sure that's why Dean Phillips is going to kind of be on the ballot on the Dem side. God forbid we get the funniest result of Biden falling into a coma and the only candidate left is saruman-orb orb queen

    And yet libs still pretend that they have a "free" media. Its so obvious how manipulated this is. They don't even try to hide it any more

    I think youre overthinking this, a little. They arent 'trying' to do anything, the situation does not matter to rich NYC liberals at all. They think itll juice ratings a little bit or drive clicks, so they do it. They ideological bent is that socialists are off limits, everyone else regardless of politic is on. Look how they make a little joke about the slavery thing, even Nikki gets in on because at the end of the day they are all together.

    lol, SNL hasn't uploaded it to youtube yet but Haley did - and it got quickly DMCA'd by NBC.

    edit: actually SNL did post it here, though, like everything on their account posted within the last four months, it appears to be geoip blocked if you try to access it from a non-US IP address. Piped works, though.

    tbh even though I disagree with basically all of Haley's stated policies, critical support to her campaign against gerontocracy. she'd definitely be an improvement over Biden or Trump, though that's not saying much when the bar is 200 meters below sea level.

      The problem with Biden or Trump isn't their age, its that we live under a dictatorship of the bourgeois. Haley would be just as bad as either of them.

        On a broader scale, of course yes you're right. I just meant "improvement" in the sense that those two get free passes all the time for behavior that younger people (especially a woman) wouldn't, just because they're old dopey white men. The public simply expects incompetency and derangement from them, like it's normal. If Haley did or said stupid shit, she would get a lot more criticism from the media and public, justifiably so. Her Civil War gaff for example. That was honestly pretty mild compared to the constant stream of verbal diarrhea that comes from Trump, yet it had the media clutching their pearls for weeks despite her immediately walking it back and apologizing.

          Oh okay, i see what you mean. That's a pretty generous view. I still don't agree that she'd be better in meaningful way, but i get what you're saying now
