It's about tradition!
Traditionally many, many children died at childbirth or soon after due to the lack of medical care and vaccines.
Traditionally the rich, wealthy and powerful have held almost all the cards of power, keeping most to themselves while denying the elevation of new generations - "new money" vs "old money" is a great example of how they try to minimize meritocracy.
Traditionally snake oil salesmen were everywhere and misleading claims were status quo. This is where we are today with politics, maybe it's always been this way too. Gotta love those weasel words!
Traditionally though... women couldn't run for office, vote, or have any real kind of say. Not really sure how you can run on a tradition platform and just gloss over that.
Oh, and traditionally in terms of human society the rich and wealthy have always owned slaves, serfs and other humans because their families had amassed wealth and land first. We're returning to this with landlordship in the USA.
Ah well, fighting over scraps until humans go extinct in the next couple of generations. No helping it imo.
More to the point, Nikki Haley couldn't do those things. She wouldn't have a campaign.
