Tulsi Gabbard

[Prometheus85]

Tulsi Gabbard is a Democrat in name only.

From homophobia to Islamophobia to cultism, she is also no progressive's dream.

Back when trump was elected in 2016 Tulsi Gabbard was meeting with President-Elect Donald Trump for consideration of a position in his administration.

She is dedicated to perpetuation extremist, fringe ideology. She adopts and sheds extremist positions at will, but one thing remains constant: her consistent embrace of hard-right politics.

Her attacks on Kamala Harris was straight outta the right wing playbook.

She supports Russia military involvement in Syria. And she also Has a lot of support form Russian sycophants.

Just who’s side is she really on?

Evidence? Or just a rant?

That's probably a good thing, because the progressive dream seems to be self-immolation.

As far as the rest of your rant, it's nuts. And, yeah, she does play out of the Republican playbook -- she's not an *** licking sycophant like the rest of them and speaks her mind. So, I don't agree with her more liberal ideas, but I respect her because I value honesty.

If Tulsi doesn't get to the podium to debate Trump the weak kneed Dems already lost, so Tulsi or go home -- the rest of the candidates haven't got a single chance of getting a single moderate vote.

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 that wants to split up the Information Tech giants. 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 they are in what they are winning?

But it's good to see that the disinformation of corporate talking points, are not regurgitated and parroted by anyone, who can actually know just how silly they sound. Unfortunately, Tulsi is fighting for YOUR rights as well. She will rise, because class, genuineness, authenticity, gravitas, and talent, will always rise to the surface. Remember, Trump was in single digits during the first and second half, before the primaries.

There is no democratic candidate that can completely contrast Trump like Tulsi. A side by side debate with Trump would be an embarrassment for Trump. Even if no words were spoken. A two-time combat veteran and Major, vs. a draft dodger. Unlike Trump, she has a command on all social and foreign issues. She could be the first candidate that could win all fifty states. Do you think that Wall St., the Military Industrial Complex, the Fossil Fuel Industry, and Corporate Media, won't do anything they can to prevent a Tulsi vs. Trump debate? The life blood of these industries is under attack, and they will do anything to stop her. If she scares them this much, then they must have a lot to hide. I can see this clearly. Why aren't people supporting her in droves? What do they see in these obvious corporate stooges? Maybe not Yang or Bernie, but Bernie is just too old to run a country. And, Yang is just too politically naïve. What am I missing?

She is not promoting the self-righteousness of the Progressive Left and exposing their pandering. Also she exposed their contradicting statements like being against costly wars yet flipping out when she agrees in details.

What does Tulsi agree in details with costly regime-change wars? Why is this so difficult for some people to accept? She will stop all regime-change illegal wars as president, bring the troops home, save lives, and save billions of dollars. Maybe it's because it is so simple that you can't accept it. Maybe it is because you drink so much corporate Kool-Aid, that you can't change flavors. Or maybe you just don't mind dead and maimed American soldiers, being used as Saudi Arabia's and Israel's *****es to do the dirty work for them. Maybe you don't care about the homeless crisis, healthcare, jobs, crime and immigration. Maybe you just happy with the way things are, and couldn't care less about others.

Everybody is a bit of this, and a bit of that. But I can look at a person and see if they are the genuine article. You would have to be a blind, deaf, and dumb zombie, to not see this level of sincerity, commitment, and authenticity. How can a woman with 19 years committed to service, be in anyway self-righteous? Also, in what way are progressives self-righteous, and what are they pandering?

Even I don't know. Like I said in another threads she's has an impressive background , but on the other hand she was also considered as running mate with Bernie Sanders.

If only she was more like a Yanks version of Margaret Thatcher it would be easier to determine.

 

[Twilight Hue]

Gabbard is the only Dem that has a clue.

Except for the Bernie Sanders bit.

 

[Revoltingest]

What am I missing?

The rampant age based prejudice in your posts.
Tis best to advocate based upon agenda & qualifications.
Such things as age, gender, race, & religion are best avoided.

 

[Shad]

Please disregard my last post. I misread your post badly. My apology. A senior's moment.

No problem.

That post sums it up nicely. Dems complain about costly wars yet flip when Gabbard says she has no plans for invading Syria. Dems self-righteous morality will lead to wars as they must force everyone to agree with their moral code. Dems contradict themselves due to their blind self-righteousness.

It is scary at how complacent and apathetic we have become, as a nation. In early Egypt when the crowd was told they were being conned and misled, they stoned him to death to protect the conman. What happened to Tulsi, when she exposed Kamala for who she really is? Tulsi actually held back a lot of Kamala's professional improprieties(locking up a homeless mother, mother's of truant children, and supporting one law for the rich and one for the poor). She will be, and will do anything to have power and position.

Why aren't people terrified at the thought of a war with Iran? Almost 4000 soldiers dead in the Iraqi war, over 1800 soldiers dead in the Afghanistan war, 33,000 soldiers dead in the Korean war, and over 47,000 soldiers dead in the Viet Nam war. These numbers don't include the wounded, missing in action, or non-combat deaths https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_military_casualties_of_war . All these wars were non-declared illegal wars, and not approved by Congress.

Tulsi has opened my eyes to the theatre of disinformation. Media personalities that I respected and believed, were just corporate puppets doing their masters biddings. It is true it is all sleek media dressing, and smoke and mirrors, designed to teach you how to think. By constantly attacking her personally, and not the substance of her policies, they have exposed the real wizard behind the curtain. We can also start understanding that our leaders work for us. They are here to service us, not themselves. I don't mind if they live a life of luxury, or take money from lobbyists. But not while the rest of us are struggling just to make a living for our family and ourselves.

Here is the latest smear on Tulsi,

. If they are this desperate now, what will it be like in 6 months?

Tulsi Gabbard is a Democrat in name only.

Examples of any of this?

Back when trump was elected in 2016 Tulsi Gabbard was meeting with President-Elect Donald Trump for consideration of a position in his administration.

And? If she's qualified and would be a good pick for a given position, would it make any sense for her to refuse a cabinet position where she could potentially do a lot of good, just because Trump is the president?

She is dedicated to perpetuation extremist, fringe ideology. She adopts and sheds extremist positions at will, but one thing remains constant: her consistent embrace of hard-right politics.

Such as...?

Her attacks on Kamala Harris was straight outta the right wing playbook.

That literally means nothing. It's pure ad hominem that doesn't invalidate any of the things Tulsi said about Harris.

She supports Russia military involvement in Syria.

If Russia wants to help stabilize the region, fine by me. We should be willing to work with anyone on common goals. Even if the US and Russia are complete geopolitical rivals, being able to set aside our differences to achieve a goal that will help the rest of the world is a good thing that we should be willing to do. Working together on common goals is how the world has grown a lot more peaceful over the last 70 years.

And she also Has a lot of support form Russian sycophants.

What, is this the Kamala Harris Twitter mantra of "All of Tulsi's supporters are right-wing trolls and Russian bots"? Are Kamala Harris and her supporters really so willing to deny the fact that many people are seeing qualities and positions in Tulsi Gabbard that resonate with a wide audience that crosses political and social boundaries?

There's at least a couple things that Kamala Harris and Clinton have in common, then: Massive egos and a refusal to stare reality in the face and come up with an actual winning strategy for the election.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

New Tulsi Gabbard is a Democrat in name only.

There is no such thing as this "DINO/RINO."

Her attacks on Kamala Harris was straight outta the right wing playbook.

I'm pretty far Left and even I think Kamala Harris has said some appalling things that should never be accepted or promoted. By anyone.

 

[Shad]

There is no such thing as this "DINO/RINO."

There is. However it is very subjective based on person and context. Someone that is older may have seen the party platform change from what it was to now. Within that context both exist.

Most often it is just a label tossed out to delegitimize a person based on no evidence.
