So Tulsi should just pack it in based on one asshat white supremacist endorsing her for some obscure reason (which she has zero control over, and which she made it abundantly clear she denounced several months ago)? Yep just give it all up Tulsi! Screw fighting for an end to our endless regime change wars. Screw fighting the corporate establishment and trying to beat Trump.

David Duke endorsed her so game over! Let's just hand the reigns over to corporatism Neolib centrists or keep the reality show host in office! Let's just keep the wheels turning, business as usual! 

Really?

Wow.. if that's really all it took, nothing would ever change in this country!

It's not just this endorsement and putting aside the fact that I don't really agree with her stances on some major issues but it's just that she ain't gonna win the nomination. I think everybody besides Buttigieg, Harris, Sanders, Warren, Biden and maybe O'Rourke and Yang should just drop out rn. If you're polling a 2% or lower still there's just realistically no point to continuing.

There are a lot of reasons to run, winning the nomination isn't the only one. In basic it provides a lot of attention. And this can be quite useful. So running in this race might be used to:

• get attention to then use it for another political race (Hickenlooper for Senate)
• use it to write a book to make money
• spread an idea or political stance with stronger attention (this might be the reason for Yang, Gabbard, Williamson and Inslee)

As long as they can get the attention it still is worthy for them to stay in the race.
