@justinfrazier3610 You mean aside from the fact that he took a policy from Milton Friedman and Charles Murray and managed to make it worse by adding a regressive tax to pay for it? Or that he refuses to provide a full list of the programs that people have to forfeit if they take his money? Or his indifference towards unions at best and hostility at worst? Maybe his refusal to address tech monopolies? Or affordable housing and rent control? Maybe his insistence on TV that it was too late to do anything about the climate crisis? Or, how about the fact that he continues to falsely call a public option "Medicare for All"? There's plenty to choose from, so take your pick.

Speaking of fake, you know that silver streak in her hair? She is trying to attribute it to her time in Iraq, even though pictures of her in 2012 show jet black hair and she had the faintest of traces of it in 2016. The more I get to know her, the more repulsive she gets.

Clearly broken clock theory at work.

@robt400 That's what I've been saying for quite some time. If she weren't young and pretty, her support would evaporate.

And the irony is that Hillary didn't call Tulsi a Russian agent. She said that Republicans were grooming her for a third-party run and Jill Stein is a Russian agent. RT and Sputnik do love Tulsi, but I think that she is more of a useful idiot.

Connor Lonergan She is clearly a part-time officer. That doesn't pay much.

@justinfrazier3610 He's been running for two years. How much more of a chance does he need? If Art Garfunkel can put a list of every book he has read since 1968 on his website, Andrew Yang can provide a full list of the programs that people have to forfeit if they take his money. It is only 125. Mike Figueredo of The Humanist Report pointed out his contradiction on Medicare for All, and it took him several minutes to admit it. He has been on several long-form interviews, he has done town halls and speeches, so he has had plenty of time to "explain."

@justinfrazier3610 $1000/month is below the poverty level now. His idea for "solving housing" is to move in with a bunch of friends and hope that friendship can last the length of a mortgage. Why not legalize flophouses while you're at it?

@RisingRecluse Well, if her support didn't look like an incel chat room, people wouldn't wonder such things. Especially considering the way that it seems like no evidence will dissuade them from their chosen one. I have literally seen people watch a video of her give a scenario straight from Hollywood where torture is acceptable and insist that is not what she said. Ditto the letter where she praised Sisi after killing protesters in Egypt.

@bcw1313 Tulsi does not support peace. She is an isolationist. There is a massive difference.

@robt400 Agreed

@bcw1313 The discussion was not about Bernie. I don't go on videos not related to Bernie to talk him up, because that would be rude and distract from the candidate at hand. However, since you asked for reasons, Bernie has consistently opposed kidnapping children at the border. He supports comprehensive immigration reform that does not use "guest worker" designation to screw over both immigrant and native born. He voted against making it more difficult for Syrian refugees to enter the United States. He has never courted Sheldon Adelson and did his bidding to try to get rid of his competition in the form of online gambling. He is the only candidate who has never taken dark money. He was right on Iraq. He was right on the Iran nuclear deal and never compared it to Munich. He has consistently opposed torture. Just a few reasons why I support Bernie.

@bcw1313 Literally every single one of the things that I mentioned are the exact opposite of Tulsi Gabbard. Every one. If those core values sound good, maybe that says something about the candidate who you support.
1
@bcw1313 Do you deny that she has a substantial portion of alt right support? I don't think all of her supporters are alt right, but at a certain point, if David Duke likes your candidate, maybe it's a good idea to ask why.
1
@bcw1313 You'll take a Paul under any circumstances? They oppose civil rights, the only bailout the elder Paul thinks was a good idea was for slaveholders, they want to do nothing about climate, and they accept the supply side theory. Oh, and they have no problem with people dying for a lack of health insurance. Oh, yeah, they aren't bad at all. Those who call themselves alt right are white nationalists who relabeled themselves once people caught on to their racist views, who of course are just relabeled white supremacists. When Stormfront and David Duke love you, you are clearly the darling of the alt right.
1
@bcw1313 No, it doesn't, but when Duke loves her for her policy, that is far different.
1
@bcw1313 For someone who talks a big game about peace, when someone actually points out the difference between isolation and peace, you think, "Well, maybe I am wrong about peace." That sounds like concern trolling to me. Maybe if Tulsi supporters were honest actors and not obsessed with personality over principle, then maybe supporters of other candidates wouldn't call them and their candidate out so much. We point out how she doesn't live up to the ideals that she claims to believe, and you respond by saying that maybe those ideals were wrong.

@darishennen898 She has said a lot of things. Usually, people who whine about conspiracies against them seem to feel like they are not bound to those pledges.
1
For me, the moment that I knew she was not who we thought she was had to be two years ago when I saw footage from a 2014 interview where she invoked 24 to justify a war crime.
1
So, Bernie is your first choice, and you respond by defending a candidate who agreed with the notion that he doesn't love America?

@squeallymaniac It was the Dave Rubin interview. He kept using these right-wing frames, and she went along with them on patriotism and immigration especially.

Brainjock "Asset" is someone actively working for the cause. "Useful idiot" is someone who falls for their propaganda and spreads it. They have very specific meanings and functions.

@Kyle Jones No, it is saying that in addition to RT and Sputnik loving Tulsi, Jill Stein is a Russian asset. The "also" refers to the Russian asset. The question was about Republicans encouraging Tulsi to run third party: "So he [Trump]'s going to try and drive the people not to vote for him but just to say, 'You know, you can't vote for them, either.' And that seems to be, I think, to the extent that I can divine a strategy, their key strategy right now." "Well, I think there's going to be two parts, and I think it's going to be the same as 2016: 'Don't vote for the other guy. You don't like me? Don't vote for the other guy [...] "They're also gonna do third party again." You're forgetting an awful lot of stuff before the quote that the "they" is the Trump campaign. And if you don't think Tulsi is the favorite Democratic Presidential candidate of Russia, how do you explain the positive RT coverage and the way that she keeps lining up with their objectives, to the point of praising Putin for bombing civilians in Syria while complaining that Obama didn't?

Brainjock A useful idiot doesn't know that he/she is being used. Stein does, but I don't think Tulsi does.
