  1. How so? She called it "Medicare Choice" and proposed a system that leaves private insurers in a position of power in the system. If you're going to leave private insurers in the system and allow them to provide duplicative care, you NEED to make them nonprofits and make doctors accept a percentage of Medicare for All patients by law. (this is the France system and how they manage to have private insurers, but only by taking the profit motive out of basic and necessary healthcare)

  2. Well firstly, she has an extremely low likelihood at winning the Democratic primary, that was Bernie's problem in 2016, he would've won for sure in the general, but had less support than Hillary within the Dem party (also the rigging). Secondly though, even though she has a 6 percentage points higher than Bernie among Republicans, she definitely would not bring out the Democratic base and Independents as much as Bernie. Bernie does better than anyone when it comes to the Independents and arguably they're far more important to win over in the general election. As Kyle says, you need to focus on bringing out new voters and Independents in the general election, not focus on compromising and reaching an olive branch to the other side like Hillary and Biden like to do.

  3. I didn't care about her appearances on Tucker Carlson, I didn't even care about her accepting interviews with Dave Rubin (why should we?), it was what she said on Dave Rubin that was problematic though. Also her defense of Ellen being friends with the king of warmongers was very surprising and utterly disappointing.

  4.  @MrBlitzkrieg1991  When and on what issue? Either way, this is a false equivalency and if you're going to play the whataboutism game, then how about Tulsi defending Joe Biden on numerous occasions during this primary or her comments in support of Obama's drone wars. Tulsi and Bernie have both said unappealing things about Obama's drone program, however what Bernie DIDN'T do was come to defense of the opposition party's most notorious torturer war criminal in modern history. Tulsi is supposed to be this foreign policy expert, yet her failing to acknowledge the king of warmongers (while she calls out the queen of warmongers) is incredibly tone deaf and disappointing. Don't pretend like you weren't turned off by that.

  5. Bernie shoots from the hip and his integrity is undeniable even for Republicans, also I think there are legitimately Republicans that care fixing our broken healthcare system. It makes sense that he's at the top with Tulsi.

  6. I really hope Yang and Tulsi endorse Bernie once they're out of the race. They've been both playing footsie with Joe Biden and it's extremely unnerving to think they would throw their support to creepy Uncle Joe.

  7. And imagine what Bernie's numbers would be if he didn't label himself a Democratic Socialist. These are his numbers WITH the "Socialism" slur word being against him.

  8.  @tina50ify  Like I just said, you don't need and shouldn't focus on winning over Trump supporters, many of whom will just vote for Trump no matter what is said by the other candidate, especially when they have a "D" next to their name. You need to energize the base, get high voter turnout within your base, get Independents out to vote and when you do that, 2 time Obama voters who voted for Trump will switch back over when you actually offer something, but even in the case with them, you shouldn't focus on giving them an olive branch or propose solutions that are starting from the comprise position.

  9. Yeahhhh..... Joe Biden and Warren would absolutely lose the general election.

  10.  @MrBlitzkrieg1991  As other people have pointed out, if you're going to make such a claim that "Obama was worse", you better look at those death toll numbers. Obama's drone program killed a combined total of around 1,124 innocent civilians, a horrific number to even be that high. In Libya, the NATO airstrikes (according to Libyan health officials) killed a combined total of 1,108 civilians. These were by far Obama's bloodiest conflicts. Now, let's stack this up to Bush's bloodiest conflict, his war on terror in Afghanistan and Iraq. Bush's wars (one of which that he lied us into) has led to 244,000 innocent civilian deaths between Iraq, Afghanistan and operations in Pakistan, wars that are still happening today 18 years later and have continued to rack up body counts. That's an increase of 110 times the number of civilian body counts as Obama, and again this is just going by body count; this doesn't even take into consideration how Bush was the one who turned the US into a torture state, normalized the use of Guantanamo Bay for illegally detaining and torturing prisoners, destabilized the entire Middle East region and led to many of the conflicts going on today, created a nanny state by initiating the Patriot Act to massively ramp up unconstitutional NSA spying, and let's not forget the very real potential that Bush and his administration knew more about the attacks on 9/11 than they were letting on. "Whataboutism doesn't start from the counterargument" No, I'm pretty sure it starts when you respond and try to change the topic of discussion from Tulsi to Bernie. And I never "objected when someone opens Bernie's [criticisms]", I literally went ahead and commented that he said unappealing things about the drone war before you even responded, you're the one trying to deflect buddy, don't act like I didn't immediately debunk your whataboutism by pointing out Bernie's flaws and then promptly refocusing on the actual point being made, you just don't like it because it defeats the purpose of Whataboutism when we don't then switch focus to something else and stay there. It says a lot when the only thing people can do to defend their candidate is to attack 1 of the other 20 people in the race. I see Bernie supporters defending Bernie all day long and they never have to say "but what about Andrew Yang" or "what about Joe Biden", and when Bernie does something wrong, they admit it just as I did here over the drone program. Stop being such a hack and admit when your candidate is wrong without deflecting to someone else.

  11.  @little8660  Yes there are single payer systems that function alongside duplicative private care, but only when you take their profits away from them and make the universal healthcare system accepted by every doctor (so some doctors cannot just try to completely divorce themselves from taking Medicare for All patients). The problem is that Tulsi Gabbard is not saying we should take the profit motive out of the private insurance companies, she's just saying they should be allowed to operate as they are now alongside a Medicare Choice system and maybe just maybe private insurance will become obsolete, however that's not going to happen unless the government regulates them in some way such as making them nonprofits by law. This is why eliminating the duplicative private care is the easiest solution considering this is already done by Canada and many other countries and it takes out the step of having to restructure our predatory insurance markets that are potentially a lost cause (we have the most corrupt private insurance corporations in the world).
