Why is Tulsi Gabbard not gaining traction?

Why is Tulsi not a serious candidate?

She's the only candidate in my opinion, that would pull independent voters in the general. If the dem party was serious about winning they would go all in on Tulsi.

My best guess is that she is not for sale, and cannot protect Biden, Hillary, and the rest of the DS if she were to win.

Thoughts?

Because Americans only vote for people they’ve heard of

Really uninformed independents, perhaps.

She’s been entirely ignored by the establishment. They hate her more than Bernie because she has the audacity to want to end the forever wars.

because most SJW women are ugly like TrigglyPuff,

Tulsi, being attractive, is a threat to them and they are jealous.

Same reason Ron Paul didn't sniff the nomination.

Yes you're right. I guess what I really meant were the one's being drawn to Trump from the left that really want a left of center dem to vote for.

She insulted Hillary so the media stopped covering her.

People have to remember that she went all in endorsing Bernie in 2016

Also, she is a member of the globalist cabal, The Council on Foreign Relations.

Tulsi is a wolf in sheeps clothing. She's just as big of a left wing loon as Sanders. You don't keep getting reelected in Hawaii without being a nut case.

His response answers OP's question. Foreign policy interventionism is the basest orthodoxy in American politics. An anti-war, anti-empire, anti-surveillance state candidate is typically loathed by the American political class and the brainwashed voting public. This has been and will be our ruin.

Look I personally like Tulsi, but she is economically a Bernie clone. Plus her resignation last time Bernie got screwed still doesn't sit well with some.

What are you talking about? She was a Bernie supporter in 2016. If independents are drawn to her, it's only because they didn't do any research.

Why does this board continue to like a liberal like Tulsi is beyond me.

She doesn't really fit with anyone.

There are things we on the right like about her, but we all know that she holds positions that would be dealbreakers for us. She just doesn't discuss them often.

She is not looney enough for progs.

She is not establishment enough for the establishment.

Her foreign policy positions don't favor perpetual war.
