Shes the only candidate, from either side that I take seriously. Yang has good ideas and seems like a very capable individual, but Id prefer to see him in a cabinet position first. Not that my opinion matters though lolThe campaign of Tulsi Gabbard has had good traction since its inception. The problem is people decide who is electable based on optics, not what's real. As far as Tulsi is concerned, she lines up perfectly with most liberal issues. Plus she's a woman who isn't white, but all of that doesn't create a good enough optical illusion.
I think the two-party system has just gotten used to their candidates being fake and compromised. Like the "establishment" expects a certain level of deceit and corruption. So outsider candidates will always be viewed with distrust or outright contempt. Of course, that's totally wrong, but American citizens don't really demand better.
If there's one glaring trait that needs to be pointed out with Americans, it's that we are pro-level at looking the other way. And there is no real rhyme or reason to why or when we decide it's time to act blind. The Democratic presidential primary is going to be a prime example of that. The establishment has decided on the candidate(s) they want before a vote has even been cast.

Thanks, I felt pretty good about that one."If there's one glaring trait that needs to be pointed out with Americans, it's that we are pro-level at looking the other way.

Excellent post!
sorry tulsi is not electable - she is polling very low and seems to have little support. and has flip flopped endlessly and seems to not know what she stands for.
- Shes polling higher than most of the candidates who received more speaking time than her at the debate.sorry tulsi is not electable - she is polling very low and seems to have little support. and has flip flopped endlessly and seems to not know what she stands for.
did a quick search and these came up- Shes polling higher than most of the candidates who received more speaking time than her at the debate.
- The most googled/twitter trending candidate after the debate.... again.
- Grassroots fundraising on par or surpassing most other candidates in the Democratic field.
- I haven't noticed much in the way of flip-flops but feel free to point out any of Gabbard's inconsistencies here.
- Shes correct on most issues. Her opponents cant challenge the substance of her positions, so they resort to lies and smears.
- Shes the only Dem candidate (outside of possibly Andrew Yang) with actual crossover appeal to independent/inactive/Republican voters........
ok I appreciate you providing the basis for your claims. Im about to get lunch, but I will be checking these out afterwards. Again, thank you for posting links instead of just opinions. Respect.did a quick search and these came up

1. Her position on the impeachment. I think she rightly sees the proceedings for what they are and honestly doesn't support the action. Not because Trump aint guilty of various crimes, shes just more focused on reality than the Democratic parties fantasyland.

What does this have to do with the Clinton/DNC-wing trying to sabotage Gabbard's campaign while propping Killary up for a 2020 run?https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-yang-squirts-whipped-cream-into-mouths-of-kneeling-men-campaign-manager-desperately-tries-to-stop-him
WATCH: Yang Squirts Whipped Cream Into Mouths Of Kneeling Men, Campaign Manager Desperately Tries To Stop Him
By Amanda Prestigiacomo
DECEMBER 4TH, 2019
...excerpt....
As shown in the video below, Mr. Yang squirts the cream into one kneeling young man’s mouth and then celebrates by shaking the bottle and joking, “That’s a full-service presidential candidate!” And he wasn’t done there, to the obvious displeasure of who appears to be the candidate’s campaign manager Zach Graumann. The businessman then squirts more cream into another kneeling male supporter’s mouth before Graumann has had enough and steps in to move the candidate along.
...yeah... I would call that an "uncomfortable" interaction....
thanks for response - hmmm i am just not hearing support for her from really anyone in person or around ... harris dropping out was surprising - i am wondering if she made a deal with biden to be his early before primary vp pick.... or AG...1.

So I think the public uproar and new developments are probably what gave her the change of position on the topic.
2. Emma Vigeland is compromised to the extreme on the subject of Gabbard's candidacy. Shes been so dishonest so often regarding Gabbard that even her own, faux-liberal co-horts have called her out on it. Her "report" here is all over the place.
3. As far as I can tell, her MC4A stance has been fairly consistent. Her goals remain the same, even if there are alterations to her plan to get us there.
I can continue to address your posts point-by-point but what Im getting from them is similar to the narrative the MSM has already attempted to assign towards candidate Gabbart. That shes not a real democrat because her positions differ so drastically from the parties establishment wing and donor-class. Shes certainly does not fit into the mold of a "typical" Democratic party, establishment candidate and while the establishment themselves may not appreciate her differences with the standard party line, that is actually a characteristic many of us find appealing.
Edit: After some reflection, I think people could call her change of stance regarding gay marriage as a flip flop. I dont see it that way exactly, but I can also see how an opposing viewpoint could regard the situation as such.......
I agree that the MSM had been very effective at minimizing the Gabbard campaign. Not so many people even knew she was a candidate until Killary went after her. That was a big mistake on tptb's part because shes picked up a lot of momentum since those deranged attacks. I think enough people are also aware that somethings wrong with the way the MSM suddenly kicked into high gear to attack Gabbard. They might not be at the VC poster-level of wokeness, but many can still see the issues at play here, even if they cant put their finger on exactly what their concern with the situation is at the moment.thanks for response - hmmm i am just not hearing support for her from really anyone in person or around ... harris dropping out was surprising - i am wondering if she made a deal with biden to be his early before primary vp pick.... or AG...
I am just not sure Tulsi can raise the money or get traction in early states ...
