Oh yea I remember that time Clinton said gay people were taking over the party!
what is your point?
She can drag everyone else in the field leftward and on the record about marijuana (is any other candidate also for full legalization?), and then she can fade away.
Found it, was from the CNN article, not twitter like my brain was misremembering.
Pretty sure Beto is.
This only means Bernie has a better group behind him this time around, and not all the trashy leftovers he got in 2016 :p

Being left on social issues like LGBT rights is non-negotiable though. It needs to be a given. And a leftist take on marijuana isn't just full legalization, but also releasing all people who are incarcerated with only drug charges on their record.
She in 2015 said her views on gays have not changed personally, she just doesnt want government to enforce her personal views.
And what views are those? Oh how about:
""As Democrats, we should be representing the views of the people, not a small number of homosexual extremists,"
She said her views on gays have not changed personally, do you think someone who says things like this and stands by them as her own personal views likes gay people?
"Fittingly for her narrative, though, the explanation for her changed ideology feints us back onto familiar territory–the military," states the article. "It was, she says, the days in the Middle East that taught her the dangers of a theocratic government 'imposing its will' on the people. (She tells me that, no, her personal views haven't changed, but she doesn't figure it's her job to do as the Iraqis did and force her own beliefs on others.)"
So, she had those homophobic views previously, said her personal views haven't changed as recently as 2016, and here we are, awarding her "extra credit" because she will swallow her pride and vote against her bigoted views?

It's like you think the Liberal Icon name is sarcastic or something.
""We need to legalize marijuana and regulate it. And we need to expunge nonviolent marijuana-related offenses from the records of millions of people who have been arrested and incarcerated so they can get on with their lives.""

going to be honest I'm going to be pissed if I fell for bullshit twice in the same day
She's changed. We swear! She stopped hating gay people now!
Wait whats that? Two fucking days ago she attacked Democratic senators for being opposed to a Trump judicial nominee for being part of an organization that funded and pushed the anti-gay marriage prop 8 in California?

Not her biggest fan, but if she can remain consistent on things like this throughout her run, I might not have to vote for her out of reluctance, which is good.
Attacking Mazie Hirono sure is a fantastic way to try and start your bid for the Democratic Nomination.
The trransparent projection in an attempt to pre-empt coverage of her own sketchy history was hilariously blatant.
It is really weird though. Maybe he isn't really running after all?
Know what's even cooler? Attacking Obama for not blowing up enough Muslims in a tweet AND praising Putin in the same tweet!

Yes because she's clearly talking about muslims in general and not specifically Al-Quaeda.
3 weeks before the harassment group letter dropped, someone had a "blind item" tweet talking about how the assumption among journalists that _____ would be in the 2020 race was bizarre given that they had heard all the horror stories of bad management coming out from a former campaign. At the time people thought it might've been Klobuchar due to high staff turnover, but seems kinda clear it was referring to Sanders now. It's feeling like he wants to run- but the combo of 2016 issues and a bad 2020 outlook (no Hillary- no glue to try and reassemble his coalition) may mean he gets left with a D-team this go round if he does announce.
Yeah the al-quaeda that live in a place controlled by a dictator supported by Putin.
Oh wait that's now how it went.
Funny how you find any and all excuses to excuse her awful statements and behavior.
The implication being that throwing bombs at Al-Qaeda in Syria would almost certainly hit civilians because it's not like Al-Qaeda has military bases you can cleanly hit.
But if you want more explicit islamophobia from Tulsi, she's got you:

Up until an hour ago I didn't even know who she is. The hot take attacks and hyperbole are silly. Funny how you ignore everything else.
You have been making a lot of excuses for someone you don't know.
Considering the size of the field it might be best for him to focus on pushing for really strong left legislation in the Senate (GND, etc.) and see which candidates go for it, then play kingmaker.
She basically free-rode on exactly that among Bernie's crew, bandwagoning on w/ the anti-establishment stuff in 2016.
Now she's gonna get eviscerated in the primary because people will actually look at her record.
She's the "Economically left" but conservative as fuck on social issues and both lefty and righty as fuck on foreign issues candidate.
That tweet of hers I posted....I was intrigued how it never went viral.
So I sent it to a CNN Reporter.
He instantly then put the Tulsi tweet on blast:

Sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if she actually did well in a general because more white dudes would vote for her than any other Dem candidate. She won't get there though.
tulsi''s such an impressively bad candidate i'm convinced this timeline is going to warp reality somehow to make sure she wins
Well, at least now you're honest and pissed.
What was the first one?
