that’s a neat little tool. but unless i’m misreading, it’s only for the 2019-2020 years, not the whole time in congress

she voted with other members of “the squad” 96%-97% of the time.

I really can't get a read on her.

She hasn't been a Dem, at least politically, for a long time. I wouldn't put any faith in her were she to join conservatives, but she sure as hell isn't a liberal.

I like 80% of what she says, though.

What?! The party of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, socialism, feticide, open borders, unvetted voting, illegal gun control, censorship, and authoritarian government is an elitist cabal? The hell you say! Wake up and smell the businesses burning, bitch.

In the 2020 Democratic primaries there were only three sane people running:

Andrew Yang
Tulsi Gabbard
Marianne Williamson

That’s it. The rest were a bunch of fricking lunatics. Two of those three have now left the party officially, and Marianne has openly said that the Left is worse than the Right.

Joe Lieberman also left.

But in the Senate he still caucused with the Dems. (He only broke with them on defense issues, back when they were doves) If Tulsi does the same, no change.

Her ideology is like a seeded watermelon; you gave to eat the good part and spit out the seeds. I can’t fully accept any politician who claims to be a a constitutionalist, yet believes in firearms infringements.


Like a lot of Democrats, I think she changed her mind on this over Covid. It used to be every other day that Democrats used to bitch about guns. Now save for when there’s a mass shooting, you don’t hear about it nearly as much. Outside of that retard Beto, the Democratic Party in general I think has figured out this is a losing issue for them. That’s one of the few good parts of Covid is that it taught Americans to love our guns again.

Gabbard was part of the WEF’s “young leaders” group. Her profile was scrubbed from the WEF’s website in 2021.

She is playing a role. Not to be trusted.


A) She’s owes us an explanation for this.

B) She’s the only member of their Young Leaders Group I can think of whose profile has been scrubbed.

Tulsi is on Pelosi and Hillary's shite list. Pelosi hates her because led a House delegation of Democrats to discuss cooperation with Trump. Hillary hates her because she refused to cast her super delegate vote for Clinton and gave it to Sanders because that is how her district voted.

I may not see eye to eye with her on policies but she is very principled and wants to put the good of the country first.

She is nothing more than a pundit at this point. Her job is to go on Tucker and tell everyone how she was in the military with her “brothers and sisters” to score political points.


I think on Rogan last time she said she was going to start a podcast. She did a good job hosting Tucker’s show, so I think she could get a good one going and be more of a left leaning Megyn Kelly.

And that's fair. I have no real idea where she stands except a vague leftist tendency. That's enough for me not to bother looking deeper. I do think she's in the running as Trump's VP pick.


I think she’d be a good choice for DeSantis, but too much of a risk for Trump. Trump is old and that has to be taken into consideration with his VP. Personally I think she’d make a great Secretary of State or in the very least put in John Bolton’s former position. Just don’t let Tulsi anywhere near the economy, and there are lots of things she’d be useful for.

Good for her. But, it doesn't change her stand on issues that are "democratic" if not progressive in nature. Free tuition for families making less than $125,000 for 4 year colleges and community college free for all plus a high rating from the Sierra Club does not jive with right of center politics.

She’s basically a bush, or Romney.

Maybe not, but we can demand that you not be a damn socialist. We can demand that you uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States, which includes the uninfringed right to keep and bear arms.
