Whether you believe it or not, the DNC has put the thumbs on the scales before, they're doing it now and a part of that is the debate criteria and how which polls count and others don't. You're looking at it as tho "oh this poll is not qualifying for everyone, so how is it targeting tulsi" and not at the why is this poll not qualifying considering all of the facts of this poll? On top of that why are they so hush hush about it?

But that's not the same thing as saying the DNC is out to get Gabbard which is the narrative that's been pushed by her campaign and many supporters for months now. 

Is it odd they don't count that as a qualifying poll?  Sure.  Did they intentionally leave out that poll for the purpose of harming Gabbard's election?  No.

I mean.. I'm not so sure about that 2nd one. I'm not sure if its to harm Tulsi or protect others from her as its been legitimately stated by Kamala's campaign that it was Tulsi exposing her record that has put her in that position. But yea, Tulsi recently appeared on the Joe Rogan Podcast, where she discussed 2016 and her endorsement of Bernie and what the other people in the party told her once she did that. It was essentially a "you just killed your political career" kinda thing. I'm much more cynical than you in this regard, and I've followed numerous things including the DNC lawsuit where the DNC legit argued that they don't have to nominate they're candidate democratically. They can go in a backroom and say "this is our nominee" if they want to. (Its out there, look it up). I'm not sure which part of the podcast it is, it was over 2 hours long but yea.
