It didn’t take long for progressives to turn on Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (Hawaii) after she announced Friday that she was throwing her hat in the ring for 2020. Her cardinal sin? Not only did she previously hold anti-gay views—she actively worked against the LGBT community through her father’s organization, The Alliance for Traditional Marriage and Values, in the early 2000s.

Unless you’re a progressive. Then it’s a form of blasphemy.

Actually, it was pro-LGBT.
She was trying to save souls from the eternal fire of damnation.

The 20 or so dem candidates will be separate laboratories used singularly to construct rebuttals to satisfy the many divisions of liberals to gain a cohesive liberal bloc by 2020.

“Tulsi Gabbard is part Samoan, Hindu, a surfer, and a major in the Hawaii National Guard with combat zone experience. Respect.”

I think you can respect her for her military service while also calling her out for major flip-flops. i.e. The “Democrat Darwinism” BS - “I’ve evolved”.
Though I can’t say she deserves respect for being a part-Samoan Hindu surfer. But I’m assuming you offered that part as just a mini-bio fun fact.

She’s an elected democrat. She will get a pass. Look at KKK Grand Kleagle Byrd.

“She was trying to save souls from the eternal fire of damnation.”

Someone just mentioned she was Hindu, I believe. Hinduism doesn’t do the fire and brimstone thing. But, in Hinduism, you are “born again” - then you die, then you’re “born again” , then you “die again” and so on & so on, ad infinitum.

Neocon Republicans and Hillary-loving Democrats hate and fear Tulsi because she opposes our endless wars in the Middle East

She is the “finger in the wind” type

On one issue she’s been consistent: opposing endless US involvement in Mideast wars. That’s the real reason Hillary supporters hate her

She isn’t lock-step. That means she isn’t reading the daily talking points, which means they don’t control her. I don’t agree with her on much, but I see the difference between her and the run-of-the-mill politicians on either side.

Interesting...Tulsi is Samoan, as well as German, English, Irish, Scots-Irish/Northern Irish, Scottish, remote Welsh and Cornish. Her dad is Catholic. Her mother was a Midwestern girl who later found Hinduism . Tulsi chose to be Hindu as a teenager.

She’ll have to dine at the Y in public to get by this one. Can’t imagine having to fake who you are to be politically involved on the left.

It’s a caste system over there.

“I wonder if she might’ve been a conservative if she’d been brought up just about anywhere except Hawaii.”

She has the best chance of beating Trump. Her and Julian Castro is the best ticket the rats have.
