Madam President

[Truly Enlightened]

Maybe someone can help me to understand, because I just don't get it. We have a candidate that is a two-time combat veteran, and still serving as a Major in the National Guard. A person who will stop the escalation of a Nuclear Arms Race. A person also serving as a congresswoman on the Foreign Service, Homeland Security, and Armed Services Committees for almost 7 years. A person that wants to end all regime change illegal wars, involving America. A person that wants to bring all of our soldiers home from countries all over the world. One country we have been in for almost 20 years. A person that wants to stop the millions of civilians, soldiers, and children from being killed by us, since 911. A person that wants to use the trillions of dollars wasted(4 Billion dollars/month in Iraq alone), and use this "war dividend" to address the social issues we have here at home. A person who exudes gravitas, attention, courage, authenticity, integrity, confidence, and intelligence, every time she opens her mouth. A person with a 38 year old brain, not the brain of a Grandpa, or a Grandma(you can't fight human physiology). Finally, a person that actually walks the talk)Standing Rock, Puerto Rico, fact-finding mission in Syria, Homestead Detention Center, and her consistency in legislations, passed and proposed).

What am I not seeing here? She exposes a foreign policy corporate status quo lackey(Tim Ryan), and a narcissistic, egocentric, sociopath(Kamala Harris), for what they are, and it is the messenger that is attacked. No rebuttals, just smears, lies, and slander. What is corporate media so afraid of to support these smear attacks? The truth about their bottom line? How can you ever justify calling a volunteer twice combat, still serving veteran, a "Russian-Bot, a Trojan Horse, or an Assad Apologist? No one called Nancy Pelosi an Assad Apologists, and she met with him twice. I would vote for anyone with just half these bonafides. Please, tell me what am I blinded to? Why are we putting our future in the hands of old men and women that have clearly shown their allegiance to corporate America, to maintain the status quo. Without stopping these endless illegal wars, these dog and pony shows, will only be a theatre of empty promises. They are not even trying to hide it anymore, because the public can no longer see the truth in front of their eyes anymore. Are people more interested in just winning, than in what they are winning?

I like Tulsi because she's intelligent and professional. She'd be a good leader.
But you won't get many conservatives voting for her, regardless of her record. To them, a woman cannot lead men.
It's a religious thing with people on the right. It's a primal thought process.

Many conservatives, centrists, and libertarians, are sick of endless and illegal wars with countries most people can't even spell. Most people don't want to see thousands of our men and women in uniform, dying, or being permanently maimed to keep corporate America afloat. Most people don't want America to be the policeman of the world. And, most people would prefer the dollars wasted on killing men, women and children(and animals), to be used as resources to address the social issues we have here at home instead.

Remember there are conservative women as well. And, a woman can be very persuasive when she needs to be. I think we've(men and women) have come a long way since the suffrage movement in 1848, and the women's liberation movement in the 60's. I believe if the message is clear enough, and delivered well enough, then the "primal thought process" will have to evolve.

She is dumping on empty progressive rhetoric and targeting moderates votes.

That's the thought process of Evangelicals and a lot of conservatives. The bible is to be respected and these people don't want a woman leading over them. I'm sure I can dig up plenty of quotes about 'that time of the month, etc."

I believe if the message is clear enough, and delivered well enough, then the "primal thought process" will have to evolve.

There is no message to them that will overpower the biblical message. Hunter/Gatherer mentality.
"Get in the kitchen, etc."

Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine.

Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ. Now I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I delivered them to you. But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. ...

What Does the Bible Say About The Role Of The Woman?

 

[Truly Enlightened]

Which candidate are you referring to?

What other democratic candidate do you know, that has been smeared as a Russian-Bot, and Assad Apologist, a Republican Trojan Horse, and loved by white supremist? What other candidate is a Major in the HAWAII National Guard, and served two combat tours of duty in both Iraq and Kuwait? What other candidate has served in Congress for almost 7 years, on the Arms Service, Foreign Affairs, and Homeland Security committees? What other candidate step down as the vice-chair of the DNC, to follow her convictions?

But if you still are uncertain, it is Madam President Tulsi Gabbard.

Marine Le Pen has described as far-right and has many supporters male and female, wouldn't you think that if "people on the right" would never support a woman president don't you think a "far-right" president would be unimaginable?

I've no problem with her. Why don't democrats like her more?
Oh, I suppose that question was already asked in the OP.

She's probably one of the more impressive candidates yet
It's a bit disconcerting that she was a running mate with Bernie Sanders. I would consider that a red flag.

To State it as Trump puts it,

Socialism is not going to come into this country.

I wonder if you have some reason other than your
own prejudice for saying that.
