Nah, I'm good.
This is what I was hoping when I came into this thread.
Is Hawaii one of those states where everyone is a Democrat, even people that would normally be Republican, because that's the only party that can win? Is there anything about her at all that's liberal or progressive?
It's very much a sign that other people smell blood in the water w/ a potential 2020 Sanders bid.
Worse, she did it on FOX NEWS.
This is exactly what's going on. Her parents flipped R->D purely for this reason.
So you think if she was an islamophibic man who attacked Obama and was homophobic, she'd last long? Maybe "he'd" last longer, but not by much.
Look at the current sack of shit and his administration that presides over America. Look at it knowing full well that this asshole started his campaign with racist remarks and dehumanizing latinos (I say latinos in general because of the racially charged incidents that have taken place involving American citizens in full view public since the trash took office). And then came more lies about his wealth and the reason for obscuring tax returns etc. Then came all the talk of what a pervert he is with regards to younger women at the pageantry. Despite all of that he won 68 million votes and Electoral College pushed this asinine filth to power.
Do you really believe if half of that were true for an equally vile female politician (especially the sexual stuff) from the Republican party, she would have gotten far let alone become the president?
Also, the social totem pole for Americans for leadership position in public view generally goes like this:
1. White christian man
2. White christian woman
3. Non-white christian man
4. Non-white christian woman
5. The rest
Tulsi Gabbard (iirc) is multi-racial. Lest we forget the times where Obama had to contend with fictitious birther bullshit (which Trump the asshole dolt was also part of) the same purity test bullshit would be expected to be thrown her way.
But as aforementioned, she is a right wing democrat and the country could do without one in the coming few years as the overton window has already shifted significantly to the right.
I guess we shall see.
OP
OP
There is a lot of people who believe she is likely still right-wing and only switched because thats the only party that can win. Hell because he dad did and he ADMITTED that he did lol.
Especially because she didn't evolve on issues, she basically flipped a switch overnight. She went from being a leading voice in the state politics against gay people and throwing out horrible anti-gay attacks to suddenly being pro-LGBT overnight when she decided to run for congress.
Between her and Richard Ojeda the "anyone who endorsed Sanders and criticizes the establishment must be a left-wing icon" crowd has their dream ticket.
OP

Reminds me of the post election Biden threads that were hailing him as a progressive that was put away by the establishment by the Sander crowd.
She won't make much of an splash. Too incoherent to even exists in a democratic primary.
Probably disappears before / right after Iowa.
Opportunistic as fuck though.

She admitted in 2015 her personal views havent changed. She still hates gay people. She just doesn't vote that way because she doesnt feel government should enforce her personally views. Which is just as bad.
"When questioned why the LGBT caucus, which had actually supported her three years earlier, had turned against her, the chairman cited two things. One was her less-than-stellar answers to a questionnaire the LGBT Caucus had sent. The other was a 2015 interview with Ozy, in which she confirmed that her personal views on gay marriage and abortion hadn't changed, just her view on whether the government should enforce its vision of morality."
It really is, I wouldn't be shocked if other politicians steal it and tweak it.
If Hillary Clinton was able to get away with it I guess Tulsi can too?
Basically. Her parents moved to Hawaii, where the GOP is a permanent minority.
She "hates" gays or she doesn't agree with it? I don't agree with a lot of things but that doesn't mean I hate it/them/whatever. If it does conflict with her religion and she still votes for it because it's the right thing to do..then more power to her and I give her extra credit for that.
I wonder if this means Sanders isn't running since she was at that get together for his supporters. She's running, Warren is running, Sherrod might be running, Weaver isn't coming back, Beto picked up his digital team, etc.
But he hasn't given any signs himself that he's not running.

Apparently Tulsi's got an ex-Sanders person as her manager too.
Does she hate gay people?
"As Democrats, we should be representing the views of the people, not a small number of homosexual extremists," she said at the time.
This is from 1998, so you tell me
perhaps you can understand why queer people do not give extra credit to someone who makes it explicitly clear that they think gays are icky.
If he's not running he should be focused on getting Progressive International up and running and otherwise play kingmaker, go touring with AOC etc.

She has openly attacked gay people and used hateful language against them. She hates gay people. And is outspoken in being against homosexuality.
Oh and she has no problem going on white power supporter Tucker Carlson to talk up her right-wing foreign policy bullshit:
those 10 seconds where she endorsed bernie and was hailed as the future were amazing
I of course never fell for such things

That wasn't what I was responding to though. "hate" is a strong assumption..heck even 'icky'. It may simple be her religion tells her it's not natural and that's that. Either way, what matters is she's putting her vote where it matters.
It was fucking nuts. They were heralding a Fox News regular who attacks Obama from the RIGHT on foreign policy and makes disparaging attacks on gay people. It was insane and baffling.
The stuff you are pulling up with fingers covered in dorito dust on an old compaq, imagine the stuff they will highlight in a cutthroat primary.She has openly attacked gay people and used hateful language against them. She hates gay people. And is outspoken in being against homosexuality.
Oh and she has no problem going on white power supporter Tucker Carlson to talk up her right-wing foreign policy bullshit:
Dude. I am catholic. Born and raised. Catholic school and all.
That does not giver her an excuse for thinking gay people are "icky" as you call it.
i need you to understand why this upsets queer people and why "she thinks gay people are unnatural" is not different from "icky" in any meaningful way
i'm the one that introduced "icky" into the conversation

Sorry, I'm not seeing that outside of what she said 15 years ago and has addressed and apologized for a long time ago. I did some quick research but not finding this "I hate gay people" people keep referring to.
