I was hoping that she'd make another run for pres and hopefully drag them back to the center and away from the far far left idiocy they've embraced. I doubt she, or anyone else, can or could but it would be better for the country if both parties turned their backs on the far left and far right.
Either way if Tulsi runs as an Independent or repub she's still got my vote.
Well, she was just interviewed again on Joe Rogan - a very good interview as usual.
And she's going with Independent.
I'd love to see her run & win the presidency as an Independent. Maybe that would finally put the dem & repub parties where they need to be - in the grave.
Tulsi for POTUS and Cheney for VicePOTUS as independents beholden to no party? Theyβd probably get most of the womenβs votes and a lot of the menβs too.
It's great to see Tulsi come out and call the Democrats out for what they are.
"Manchin and Sinema are mostly siding with the Republicans anyway"
Manchin and Sinema have conscientiously decided to NOT side with complete stupidity for the most part but they did cave to the "inflation reduction act" which we all know will increase inflation.
Even the climate zealots say it is barely a start for the green new deal. So nobody's happy about it.
The two party system is just not working for the country anymore. It is strange in the first place that a country as large and diverse as ours has only two real political parties. Andrew Yang, for instance , has launched a new party called The Forward Party, then there is the Green Party and who knows what else is on the horizon.
Let's be honest (no research done on this), but I would bet she votes 90% of the time with Biden. So to say the senate has swung republican, I think would be very much incorrect. Without her vote, they wouldn't have passed the Inflation "Reduction" Act. If she can vote for that piece of garbage legislation, then she's still a democrat and they can still probably count on her vote to pass more country damaging legislation.
"Manchin and Sinema have conscientiously decided to NOT side with complete stupidity for the most part"
Actually, I've read that Sinema is heavily funded by Republican donors, and Manchin receives over $500,000/year from a coal mine that he partially owns. These are not altruistic people, not that politicians typically are.
Lol "Manchin gets 500,000 from a coal mine he owns"... well I certainly hope so!!! He'd be as dumb as dirt if he didn't make money on a business he invested in.
I heard Jamie Raskin made a bunch of money defending a murderer.... and and Chuck Schumer got a lot of money for representing slum lords..... and and and .... etc etc etc ad nauseum...
Truth is Joe Biden never worked for anybody but himself he gifted government contracts for his family through war until Obama brought to the big leagues so he could extort the big money... and you are worried about Joe Manchin ... at least he has employed hundreds if not thousands of people. GTFO here with that bullshit.
"I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party that is [b] now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism,[b/] actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms, are hostile to people of faith & spirituality, demonize the police & protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and above all, dragging us ever closer to nuclear war.
I believe in a government that is of, by, and for the people.
Unfortunately, today's Democratic Party does not.
Instead, it stands for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite.
I'm calling on my fellow common sense independent-minded Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party.
If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me."
-Tulsi Gabbard

Now let's see how many woke Democrats step in to throw her to the wolves.
They can throw her to the wolves BUT ... they can't argue against anything she said in her statement.
Cause she's right. Today's dem party has moved so far left they can't even understand the principals that it was founded on much less be the party that once was on the side of the middle class and fought for their rights and the rights of the lower class.
It's the reason that both parties are now in the minority - 60% of voters are registered independents.
@mildlyamusing1 This reminds of a Chappelle Show segment - The Republicans' will take Sinema and Manchin along with Tulsi if the Democrat's take Kinzinger and Cheney
If she runs for pres it will create another "Perot Syndrome".
She will get a lot of dems to vote for her, essentially splitting the dem vote and allowing the repubs to win
(as it happened to the repubs in 1992 - which gave us the Clinton's).
So either she wins, or the repubs win, and if Trump is the repub nominee, then he may well be the next president.
Fuck that cunt! As if she's going to change anyone's mind by dropping out as a Democrat. She was only comfortable appearing on Fox News after she (quickly) lost in her ridiculous bid to be President (when's the last time a sitting House member won that office? Abraham Lincoln! She's NO Abraham Lincoln!)
As if she's going to win any office as an independent or Republican (& she hasn't said what she's going to be anyway!) She's like Andrew Yang, a novice who embarrasses herself every time she opens her mouth.
The dems are losing their stars and that's all you can come up with - and yes she not only was one of their stars, she was THE 'Rising Star' in the dem party and everyone on cnn, msnbc etc were singing her praises from the time she was first elected to con-gress and made one of the dnc heads, until 2016. You had obama endorse her and pelosi personally call her to invite her to the national convention.
What happened in 2016? She exposed the dnc & wasserman-shultz's rigging of the election for hilary, she met with the president elect to talk to him about NOT escalating the regime change war in syria. You don't cross the military - industrial complex, and congressional feeding trough, and remain unscathed.
You may not like her but you can't refute or argue any of the points she's made about what the dem party has devolved into - their 'leaders' ARE warmongers bought and paid for by the military - industrial complex, they do/have racialized politics by supporting and backing blm and 'progressive' prosecutors either refusing to prosecute criminals or releasing them from jail/prison, they have instituted bigotry against people of european decent by instituting school policies that say one group are 'privileged while another are victims' all based on their skin color, they have weaponized the security state and have consistently refused to either kill the 'patriot act' & secret fiza courts or amend the parts of it that are unconstitutional etc etc.
As far as her not winning another election? I wouldn't bet against her as she has a huge following.
DeSantis/Gabbard ticket sounds amazing. But she HAS said she's going to remain an Independent - like many former registered dems have become.
AttifuckPitchfork, nothing the Democrats have done over the last few years can compare to the corruption & insanity of the Republican party (& because of that, more politicians have left that party than the Democratic one). That you would get behind DeSantis proves how insane you are. Not worth debating more than saying that.
BASIC FACTS: Trump lost the '20 election BIGLY. He's a big, pussy aching, sore loser who never got enough love from anyone & therefore desperately needs attention & reassurance.
Those of you who insist the election was rigged (oh, but the Republicans who won in those same races were elected fairly?!) are in a cult & need to be deprogrammed.
Everyone know Joe "won" by the skin of his teeth in swing states where election laws were modified to allow mass mail in ballot counting by officials other than state legislatures.
The Democrats managed to legalize the counting of mass ballot dumps into ballot boxes in numerous staets.
That dog wont hunt anymore.
