I really hope you did not take the Kanye thing seriously to begin with.


I want to see Kanye run. That could the greatest spectacle in human history. First debate Trump v Kanye, Donald doesn't say a word the entire night. Every time he gets asked a question he just smugly pulls out a remote control and fires up a scene for the Kim/Ray J sex tape.

I really like Tulsi Gabbard for those who know here. She's strong on principles and substance, but I don't think she stands a chance against a demagogue like Trump since she's more soft spoken and not well known enough i'm afraid.

On issues, I want Tulsi.
To actually stand on stage and slug it out verbally, I dunno if she has the experience. I haven't seen her on a stage yet. Seems soft spoken in news interviews and sticking to a term "interventionist regime change wars" seems a bit off. Think there's a better delivery. The DNC needs to support her and groom her for leadership.

Congresswoman Gabbard did the right thing by supporting Senator Sanders, and his legacy is the path forward.
If not her in 2020, then someone of a like mind needs to be found.

Because she's an islmaphobic fox news dem. Her most recent actions are to give cover to a dictator and a wannabe dictator in Assad and Trump. She'll never be the Democratic nominee and thank god for that.

Syrian massacre is exactly what you get for using "rebels" to topple Assad. You paid for that American armed effort in Syrian lives.
If warmongers will not support a Progressive because they require Neocon policy then they deserve President Trump.

Gabbard's not a progressive. She's Joe Lieberman.

She's not a traitor and an Israeli shill, so I would say she isn't Joe Lieberman. I agree that she is no progressive.

Spoken like a true CTR Hinduphobe, straight from neoliberal warmonger Clinton & Brock's camp.

Beg to differ. Gabbard's got more backbone than any single eligible Democrat out there. Ending regime-change wars is a cornerstone of her foreign policy and the reason she stepped down from the DNC to endorse Bernie Sanders. I see Congresswoman Gabbard's efforts to end the regime-change war in Syria much as I do Hawaii Rep. Patsy Mink's desire to end the Vietnam war. Congresswoman Patsy Mink met with the North Vietnamese in the name of peace; she was also vilified for her actions - but she was on the right side of history.

I have seen Tulsi on numerous cable channels and she is on far more often on MSNBC and CNN than she is on FOX.

Tulsi is a Co-sponsor of H.Res.569 Condemning violence, bigotry, and hateful rhetoric towards Muslims in the United States.
https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-resolution/569/cosponsors

She supports Keith Ellison, a Muslim, for DNC chair

And has this to say about Trump and his divisive nonsense regarding Islam.

(CNN interview, by the way - you can look it up online)

REP. TULSI GABBARD (D), HAWAII: You know, Donald Trump is clearly trying to, unfortunately, capitalize on people's fears for his own political gain. And I think it's important for all of us, for leaders in our country, for people in the media, to make a clear distinction from two things.

One is the spiritual practice of Islam, the spiritual and religious path that most Muslims follow; and the other is the political Islam or Islamism that's really a totalitarian Islamic supremacy ideology that is fueling these attacks. That's fueled the San Bernardino shooters, that's fueling ISIS, fueling al Qaeda and these Islamic extremist terror groups that are creating such a threat.

And that's why it's so important for us to create this distinction to make sure that we know who our enemy is. The ideology that is our enemy, the radical Islamist ideology and not continue to play on fears of people, as Donald Trump is doing.

Too many establishment Democrats don't know what a real progressive is and that is one reason they lost the progressives this past election. Ending regime-change wars is one of the most progressive things someone can do; Gabbard's a true progressive and then some.
Establishment Democrats thinks that there is such a thing as a humanitarian war, which is why they backed Iraq and Libya wars. Neocons & neoliberals are two sides of the same warmonger coin.

Sure she is. Among many other things, ending regime-change wars is one of the most progressive stances you can have. Gabbard supported Bernie because promised he would end those wars.

It would be almost funny to watch really descending down that Idiocracy slope these days, he might even pull it off.

Somehow I just do not find the current Trump voters being too bright.

Gabbard is a non starter and stands a better chance of being on the Republican ticket than the Democratic one.
Heartily disagree. Her voting record is over 90% Dem but she's not afraid to reach consensus with the opposite party because as she says, "We're all in this together." Divisive identity politics will NOT win 2020.

If you have no answer to my post other than that, you've already lost the battle.
I have as much right to support her as you do to trash her.
*Edit* Oh I see - you live on this forum. Excuuuuse me for interrupting your sleep.

The whole thread is odd to begin with, is about like people bitching about the Christmas decorations coming out before Halloween.

Surprised to see that Gabbard was one of a handful of Dems that apparently didn't speak out against Bannon's appointment, and that further Bannon apparently admires Gabbard. The more I look at her the more I think she could be the perfect foil against Trump in 2020. Appears to avoid identity politicking while still being pro-LGBT, anti-war and pro-Assad which matches Trump's anti-intervention words (which will help even further if Trump decides he wants to start a war with Iran), and one of the more anti-immigration Democrats which will help win back some of the populist voters. She also seems less likely to take a big, pro-corporation/pharma/etc stance, which will be all the more relevant with 4 more years of prescription drug price-hiking ahead of us.

WTF is wrong with you people. There is no way to stop providence; Kanye West is the next POTUS. To deny him the Presidency would be an affront to our long held values of self-aggrandizement and self-worship.
