It’s just shows how far libs had strayed from their self proclaimed principles. But again I knew for very long time they weren’t liberals.

That’s because today’s liberal is not a liberal in any traditional sense of the term.

[conan]

Precisely…they’re libs. Fake liberals hiding behind the label of liberalism to impose their authority.

Enemy at the gates flying their banner is less feared.

She certainly is something else in a most positive and good way.

I disagree completely.

Populism is dumb.

I disagree completely.

Populism is the reason for the very existence of a republican government.

@zantax

Why is trying to appeal to normal people dumb?

Populism isn’t just about “trying to appeal” to normal people - it’s about how the appeal works.

It’s about drawing a false line between “normal” people and “elites”, and appealing to those on the “normal” side by blaming their misfortune on the “elites.”

The blame is not without merit.

They are communication monopolies’ worse than Bell was in 1974.

break em up.

Why? I don’t use Twitter, Facebook or YouTube. Nobody has to use them. We can communicate without them just fine.

@conan

Nice attempt at deflection but fact remain…libs that support domestic spying/surveillance is greatest threat to our country civil liberties and freedoms.

Where are all these liberals wanting to be big brother authoritarians?

@Hexenbiest

She was a darling of the left

She was never the darling of the left. Many on the left agreed with her stance on doing something about our endless wars. Other than that, she was all over the place.

What is your example of liberal? FDR? JFK? Paine? ???

In reality there is nothing “wrong” with liberalism, or conservatism…until they get into the extreme areas of either ideology.

@Guilds

FDR

Giant Government

@Guilds

JFK

Big Government

Paine

Thomas Paine? Closer

Thomas Jefferson

Conservatives are not my enemies.

Ignorance, mixed with arrogance is the enemy of reason.

And they feed each other into a frenzy.

That should be all of our enemies.

When you clip a sentence down to just one word, and then laugh at it…it makes no sense.

Maybe that is the point.

Thomas Jefferson

Yup, both liberal. Then, and now.

You using that word was sweet. Cute.

Tulsi Gabbard is literally the only Democratic political figure in America today I could ever consider voting for.

Most of the Dems at the higher level in this country are disgusting.

@Rodeo

Tulsi Gabbard is literally the only Democratic political figure in America today I could ever consider voting for.

You would vote for these ideas:

She is a champion for protecting our environment, ensuring clean water and air for generations to come, investing in infrastructure and a green energy economy, healthcare for all, civil liberties and privacy, support for small businesses, criminal justice reform, sustainable agriculture, breaking up the big banks

[Axxowiz]

Imho she’s way less of a demagogue than either Trump or AOC. Her voting record is straight in the line of a typical Democrat. I was looking over her record on five thirty eight nothing stands out she seems to be lock step with the party on over 95%+ of the issues.

She’s defiantly not like Ron Paul or someone who has history of bucking the party and voted against anything that he deemed unconstitutional.

[Rodeo]

@Guilds

You would vote for these ideas:

I said I could consider voting for her.

She’s a military veteran who’s not insane.

That’s more than I can say for the leaders on the left.

Sorry but Americans are not better off for the 130 more or less combined years of power accumulation courtesy of Biden Schumer and San Fran Nan.

Ms Gabbard is right in her comments about Brennan and Schiff and that clown show.

My first rule when voting is never vote for a democrat…so she probably still would fall short but at least I don’t see her as the complete danger to our freedom that I see with most of those idiots in DC.

Yep, like me.
