I know but I find this to be an interesting choice. I do not know a whole lot about Gabbard yet. Onthissues does not have a whole lot of info for her. All I can gather right now is she is a middle-of-the-road Democrat.There are about to be 136 more democrats running for the presidency. Keep the powder dry.

Yeah but would she across the board vote for single payer, legalize drugs, free tuition, etc. like Sanders? I honestly don't know.Is Bernie Sanders a middle-of-the-road Democrat too?
Because Tulsi was 100% behind Sanders in 2016.
I believe her detractors want to make a case on foreign policy, but I'm not biting. Not that I fully grasp the distinction they're talking about.

I think Warren is more valuable as a Senator.
I'm liking that idea. She would pounce on those Wall Street crooks and shady corporations like a pit bull on a pork chop.Or AG
I would vote for Tulsi Gabbard, especially because she is a veteran and had the audacity to challenge the mainstream by supporting Sanders.
Warren has already proven that questions over her heritage will derail and send her off message. I have to find the article, but I believe Nate Silver did an analysis on which Democrats performed best in the midterms, and Warren actually underperformed.
If Gabbard wins maybe she could ask this guy to be her vice president
Yes, the Republican position on talking to enemy nations is clear.
Democrats, however, have a more sensible approach. Which Republicans have hated on and lambasted for years, decades even.
The question I have is... why did you side with the Republicans? Particularly when its so close to their tired and true agenda of regime change?
The primary pause that I have with Tulsi Gabbard is that her family is an extremely fundamentalist religio-cult that harbors intensely inhuman ultra-conservative social policy beliefs. She was very active in such groups, up until the time in her life when she went political as a democrat, and rather publicly "recanted" all of that past. That's a pretty strong passion to hold for decades, to suddenly flip when the plan is to get into politics.
I think she has voted OK, but my concern is that her younger, perhaps truer self and her family and their history would influence her enough to make any kind of compromise with the type of human-killing conservatives that make up the vast majority of the GOP electorate. There can't really be any sort of tolerance for these people and their broken ideas in a modern society.
I don’t see how preferring Gabbard over Warren is an expectation of Jesus like perfection. Warren has made some blunders and is perhaps better in the Senate. If Democrats want independent voters to get excited, they need to do better than Clinton. Sanders missed his window of opportunity. Beto is shiny. Gabbard is credible.I like how our standards for Democrats are "Jesus-like perfection" where for republicans, it's "let's hope for better-than-2nd-grade cognitive levels."
OH wait no, I don't like that. I daresay such people aren't really being honest in their "independent" assessment of candidates across both parties. funny that.
ROFLMAO
Thanks for the laugh
Do you still stand by your stated position FOR regime change in Syria?
Syria will never recover as a functioning state if Assad is allowed to remain.
It just seems strange to see a Democrat wanting the United States to REPEAT the mistakes of 2003 Iraq. Saddam just had to go, right? Sorry, maybe I didn't catch when you joined George W. Bush in foreign policy.
Women seem to have pause when it comes to voting for a female candidate which unfortunately is not limited to Hillary. If the Dems want the best chance nominating someone like Biden would probably be their best bet. Sanders would have been my first choice, but he's just too old at this point.

I would support a Biden/Gabbard ticket.
