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.

Yes, I understand the various reasons, that's nothing new to me. It's just in Tulsi's case it seems like a net negative for her.

Its easy when it comes to Tulsi. She's not doing it to benefit herself, she's doing it to bring attention to the regime change wars we've waged and on ending the wars. On foreign policy she's easily the furthest left and her entire thing is dragging the party left on foreign policy. She's not an isolationist btw, she's just anti-interventions and for diplomacy first. On top of that she's in for exposing the corruption in the dem party and the entire system when it comes to going against the MIC. Honestly, she's clearly trying to win to force this push and while I like her, I don't think she's the best choice for president right now.
