Same here. I am a US citizen.

I even have people in my family that voted for this guy and may again.

The options we have are limited. Biden who is really too old. Trump who is too old not qualified and self serving. Nikki Haley who probably cannot get nominated.

Edit: Most people want Biden and Trump to not be running but we will probably be stuck choosing between these two. In the primaries I will not vote for either. In the general election I will never vote for Trump.

If Biden got re-elected, and then became incapacitated to fulfill his duties, wouldn't that make the vice-president take his place?

I mean, Kamala Harris doesn't seem that bad of a choice for president, and neither does Nikki Haley if Biden decided to run with her for the presidentials.

Harris would be fine.

Nikki Haley would be fine but she is in the other party and will never be Biden's running mate. Interesting idea though. She probably will not be Trump's running mate either.

I would rather see a contest between Harris and Haley. Fine with either. Both reasonable people.

..Haley supports a nationwide abortion ban and can't remember what the civil war was about. Reasonable‽

Over stating. She supports a national consensus on abortion whatever that turns out to be. Civil War... that is just pandering. Do I agree with her on all things, no.

Keep in mind that national security and rule of law are now the only issues that matter. Everything else is just arranging the deck chairs on the titanic. Politics is the art of the possible.

Edit: Younger candidates that are not age impaired is important too.
