I don't think a candidate like her is deserving of any respect. Jokes aside, I find her actions on Syria grotesque, and her talking points as treasonous as Trump's.

Also, it's very telling that this specifically upsets you, considering this thread consists of almost relentless Warren bashing.

So much toxicity. Did she eat your dog?

"That's assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not, because she's also a Russian asset," Clinton said. "Yes, she's a Russian asset, I mean, totally. They know they can't win without a third-party candidate."

Wow, Hillary Clinton totally lost it. She is so full of hatred against anyone progressive. Currently she works with full power to ensure Trumps reelection. I mean, she could join his team openly, as policy-wise she is closer to Trump than to Stein, Sanders or Gabbard. Clinton might destroy the Democratic Party, in an fight over pushing out progressives. And this conspiracy-theory of everyone being a russian asset.

It's not telling whatsoever considering the "almost relentless Warren bashing" is a lie. You're literally revelling in Tulsi's misfortune. Frankly it's grotesque and childish.

It's funny how Biden isn't a Russian asset to her...

I'm just gonna highlight something Tulsi said a while back. It was along the lines of we should get out of Syria, but do so carefully or we'll put the Kurds in danger. Fast forward and it turns out she was right, yet we have people claiming her views are bad because she doesn't want regime change war in Syria (you know, overthrowing their government) especially cause the last few regime change wars went so well... oh wait they're still ongoing lol.

Give her her credit. She's right on Syria, she was right in the debate because pete was advocating for endless war while claiming he wasn't. In fact, the only way to have solved this situation without it becoming the **** show it is now was by talking to Assad and having this done diplomatically. But oh no, doing that makes you an Assad apologist.

I'm just saying, Diplomacy is a thing and having to talk to leaders of other countries is part of that. Also, investigations for those last few "gas" attacks over the last few years concluded that it wasn't Assad that did those but those lovely white helmets the US is helping. Isn't it funny how Assad always gasses his people when he's gained the advantage just so the US and their allies can come in to help? Just saying

Oh, you also have to love throwing missiles at them before anyone can investigate, its wonderful :)

Clinton is a clown. Its obvious she doesn't like Gabbard since she saw what the BS the DNC tried to pull in 2016 and called them out after she quit as a chair of the DNC. Gabbard also endorsed Bernie so yeah Clinton doesn't like her. I'm not even a big fan of Gabbard but its obvious that the party has been out to get her.

Excuse Me?

Who is acting like Trump again..? 

Let's see... An elitist white Neocon (yes Hillary is essentially a Neocon with a few probably phony social liberal views) attacking and smearing an American liberal woman of color as a "foreign traitor." Hmmm, who does that sound like again? I sure hope you weren't also condemning Trump for his attacks on Ilhar Omar because that would be mighty hypocritical and I fail to see how this is really different. 

And who is the crazy one? Sounds to me like it's the old crazy lady spouting conspiracy theories with no basis and shamelessly attacking a sitting congresswoman and 16-year combat medic of the US National Guard. I mean gee, how would YOU respond if you were unfairly smeared like that? I'd be just as pissed. Shit that was tame, actually. I'd have been FAR more pissed than the response Tulsi gave. She's absolutely in the right to respond in such a way. 

Whenever I think maybe it's time to come back to the Dems, that maybe they've regained some honor, shit like this just reminds me that they're still merely a slightly more left wing version of the Republicans at the end of the day - xenophobic, authoritarian, fear/warmongering, corporate elitists Neocons (not talking about their supporters or anyone here necessarily, just mainly the modern-day DNC establishment).

Neolib centrists are absolutely unhinged and becoming increasingly exclusionary by the day. Then they wonder why they're hemorrhaging support and a buffoon like Trump, a reality show celeb can possibly win an election. Their utter lack of self-awareness is astounding to me.

Even many Dems and supporters of other candidates who aren't Tulsi supporters are beginning to see this for the bogus smear campaign and character assassination it is. They've overplayed their hand.. And they've given Tulsi a ton more support and exposure in the process. Thanks Hillary! XD

Just keep making that box of inclusiveness smaller and smaller Democrats! That'll surely win you the election in 2020! Excluding and demonizing as many people as possible, even fellow liberals! XD

Honestly, and this might sound a little nutty, but what else am I to believe after the actions of some of these Dems? Been pondering this for some months now. I'm seriously beginning to believe that some of the Neolib Dems are legitimately trying to sabotage their own cause. They secretly WANT Trump reelected. That way they can continue to play the "underdog" role while failing to get much of anything done. They can just deflect any blame as to policies or happenings in our country on him, while maintaining support. But if they reclaim power, then suddenly responsibility, blame, etc all falls on them. They can't have that.

I'm sorry to say but Warren has next to no chance to beat Trump. The guy will absolutely tear her apart. And the dull, centrist Biden, with all his baggage, is a long shot at best.

I mean think about it.. Why the hell of all people would they go after Tulsi? One of the few sensible candidates, and about the one candidate who can draw in support from independents and even some right-wing folks? She's one of the few that can shake things up and bring real positive change and unite people. I honestly think she's the best option to beat Trump, and the Dems just constantly shit on her for no reason. Why? 

I mean if she was the nominee and represented the Dem party against Trump, it's not like anyone on the left would vote for Trump against her. They'd rally behind her. Then at the same time, she'd draw many former Trump voters, non voters, independents, etc.. After all, I thought the point was to bring it MORE voters, not alienate them (at least in the general)!

I think these people are legit accepting their role as the "resistance" party. They've grown comfortable in the role. They need Trump as president.

My bad.. It's actually 20%. I retract 30% of it XD

Okay, a lot of you will hate me for this, but I feel it needs to be shared...

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/rep-tulsi-gabbard-gets-2020-endorsement-from-david-duke-2019-10-19

Yeah, so...that happened. At least she firmly stated her rejection of his support. Says a lot about the kind of support she attracts though. I find it unsettling, rejection or not.

Yikes! That's one awful endorsement. I agree it does speak volumes. No shade but Tulsi should just drop out now while she's ahead, she's not gonna win and this endorsement doesn't do her any favors. Sorry to any Tulsi supporters.
