One interesting thing about Gabbard is she was raised with very conservative values. She is not running for Congress this year. And Hindus traditionally, if they are observant, are very conservative on moral issues (abortion, homosexuality, euthanasia, etc).
I figure she may either evolve/change her views, or stay in local HI politics, I don’t see any other choice.
Tulsi seems she could pass as a RINO and thus is viewed as somewhat of an ally. Don’t fall for it. She is a leftist who happens to have glimmers of actual thought - a real rarity for the left.
