2020 Democratic Presidential Nominees

Ten Dems stay in all the way. None gets enough delegates. Joe Kennedy becomes the nominee. :)

She's certainly got the establishment mindset on Palestine and "Islamic Extremism"...ugh. Really sucks shit that such a promising candidate has such glaring flaws. At least Bernie's NRA shit was 25 years ago. Tulsi was campaigning against abortion and same sex marriage during the GWB administration.

Tulsi has a 100% rating from both Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America.

Same sex marriage was not a black and white issue where one side was clearly "woke" back in the early 2000's. IIRC the Clinton's and Obama had some rather nuanced takes that shifted with the times. Pretty tough litmus test for ideological purity.

Of course people can change, but that stuff + her defending Modi and Assad, + her toxic "Islamic Extremism" foreign policy stances + her weird relationship with Trump & Bannon, are gonna kill her in the primary.

Modi/Assad positions should be disqualifying.

Let’s hold the rest of the Dem primary field accountable for their indefensible positions, though.
 
Claire acts like she’s the victim of the progressive movement when they spared her.
 
 
I read this when it first came out, but only got through about half.

What Does Tulsi Gabbard Believe?

That was a mistake, the second half is where it gets interesting.

I did tape the Van Jones show to watch Gabbard's interview. She seems to be running on "no regime change wars."
 
Tulsi has many good stances and she would not be the worst candidate of the announced field, but she is highly flawed, especially as it regards foreign policy and the "War on Terror". She is only isolationist in that she doesnt wan't American troops to die. Her opposition to the Iran deal is a huge deal, and is very indicative of her conservative foreign policy viewpoint.
