Opinion of Tulsi Gabbard

[Dukakisite1988]

She's kind of like the vintage era version of John McCain...annoying maverick. Albeit her views seem to be more wacky.

[Kyle Rittenhouse is a Political Prisoner]

She's a crypto-fascist who's only a Democrat because the Hawaii GOP is functionally nonexistent.

In general, I don't think it's a good idea to elect a candidate who appears to be affiliated with a mysterious cultist.

Very simple. There is a difference between opposing intervention in Syria and actively supporting and promoting Assad and talking about how great a leader he is.

Also the fact that she’s a staunch supporter of a far-right, nativist, theocratic, anti-Muslim party in India is a legitimate concern.

She doesn't support Assad. She has criticized him for being a dictator.

She's not a BJP supporter. She also met with Congress Party members.

I seem to recall that at one point she was going on about how Assad was going to bring democracy to Syria, which is naïveté at best, covering up for dictators at worst.

I in general hate whataboutism, but until the Mister Bone Saw carved up khashoggi, everyone in the West treated him as a liberal reformer, even while he committed war crimes in Yemen far worse than any Assad have committed, at home he execute Shia clergy, whose only crime was objecting to the second class status of the Saudi Shias (while the Assads had expanded the rights of Syrian Palestinians* and Syrian Kurds). Yes if Gabbard believed Assad was pro-Democrat, she was a sucker,  it in that case she’s one sucker among many in Congress, and she at least wasn’t in the pocket of a Regime, who funded anti-American terrorism.

The truth is that Assad is not a nice man, but there’s little reason to single him out negative among Arab leaders for human right issue.

*Syrian Palestinians have the most freedoms among the Palestinian diaspora in the Arab World, and it was Assad senior, who gave them it.

Wow, we're at 50-50 in the results. She's a mild horrible person. I will still vote for her if, by some miracle, she becomes the nominee though.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

It puzzles me that certain sectors of the Left like her for her foreign policy ideas despite them being firmly rooted in paleoconservatism (firmly pro-Israel, pro-drone, not opposed to torture, bizarrely anti-Islam) as opposed to principled left-wing anti-interventionism. The fact that plenty of right-wing reactionaries are in love with her isn't without foundation. She's also like Kamala Harris in the sense that she currently has a lot of progressive stances but her recent past is filled with a bunch of problematic crap (homophobia, Hare Krishna, BJP connections).

HP. Trash candidate.

This exactly.
