2020 Democratic Presidential Nominees

And for the record, the Trumpist rubes parroting Tulsi Gabbard’s Bullshit on my Facebook feed look very similar to those same Trumpists who pushed HRC conspiracy theories back in 2016 (spirit cooking, health scares, comet pizza, etc).
 
Yang should be done for trying to create a moral equivalency with Russia over attacking our election.
 
Do y'all really think that a sitting democrat congress women from Hawaii is actually a foreign asset to an enemy state?

Holy tinfoil hat batman.

all the actual asset has to do is get people on her campaign team to tell her to chase the 3rd candidate lane

It's only crazy because she's a Democrat. Plenty of Republicans are foreign assets considering we know Russia is funding them and they're overtly doing Putin's bidding.
 
ITT board leftist fully embrace 00s neocon foreign policy’s. Fucking gross.

Yeah that’s not what’s happening. Seems like the left is looking for some reasonable middle ground between George Bush’s imperialist fiasco foreign policy and Trump’s isolationist/kleptocratic fiasco foreign policy.

Gabbard only entered into this entire "stop regime change" policy after flying to Syria to meet with Assad, without telling the American government she was going, only to return and refuse for years to condemn Assad as a murderer or as an enemy of the US. She never disclosed where the finances for this trip came from (not from the US government) and was granted a special audience with the dictator. Upon returning she began lying about the US involvement in Syria, claiming (falsely) that the US was directly funding Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State in its Syrian efforts to further undermine our stated goals in the region.

I don't know that she's "actually a foreign asset to an enemy state" but there are open questions as to: 1) why did she go to Syria to meet Assad, 2) who paid for it, 3) why did she lie when she said she sought clearance from House ethics prior to the trip, 4) why upon her return was she suddenly a de facto Assad mouthpiece - attacking the US for their involvement in Syria, and 5) why for years did she refuse to condemn Assad's brutal regime and refuse to call him a murderer?

These aren't normal actions from a sitting member of Congress and there is likely an underlying reason for why she took these actions.
 
There is also strong evidence that the same Russian troll farms who were active on social media for Donald throughout the last few years have also been active on Tulsi's behalf. Could be a coincidence given her Assad apologist stance (which directly aligns with Russian interests) but that feels one hell of a coincidence given everything listed above.

What do you believe is the most reasonable answer for all of Tulsi's actions on Syria?

I'm not generally a conspiracy theorist (and don't even consider this a conspiracy theory to note that Gabbard's actions are very strange for a sitting member of Congress - as noted by plenty of elected officials on both sides of the aisle after Gabbard took this trip) but something is going on here.

My only two real conspiracy theories are: 1) Erdogan made up the coup a few years ago to consolidate power and increase his authoritarian abilities in Turkey and 2) Family Feud makes up their responses and never polls anybody.
 
Clearly catamount and GTB are drawn in by the sketchy ties to US enemies but what else does Tulsi offer platform wise that you guys like so much.
 
Hey her stances on raising the minimum wage to $15, banning all assault weapons and requiring universal background checks, support for Medicare for all, abolishing the death penalty, eliminating the electoral college, and providing few limits if any for abortion all seem to be hand in hand with Donald’s views which are basically in lock step with Knight’s policy preferences.

Again, knight likes Tulsi because she criticizes the other democrats who Knight doesn’t like.
 
The problem in Syria is that you either get Assad and his murderous tyrannical regime, or you get chaos, civil war and ISIS types. Not a happy choice.

Certainly the problem that remains since Russia and Modi continue to prop up the Assad regime as it is in Russia’s interests to have him in power.
 
I don’t know what the solution is and I don’t have a strong preference beyond not suddenly withdrawing at Turkey’s request so they can go on a genocidal spree. I’d also prefer that all presidential candidates be willing to admit that Assad gassed his own people - only one democratic candidate denied that fact for 18 months after the UN and US both concluded he did. I’ll let catamount and knight fill in the blanks on which candidate that might have been.
