Regular people: "Gabbard supports the US not putting boots on the ground in random conflicts and starting mindless wars that we have nothing to gain from."

Neolibs: "Gabbard is autocratic and loves dictators."

Just shut up, it's not even funny at this point.
You're citing a f[inks]ing blue avatar to support your candidate. Think about that.

Your obsession with the color of an avatar is telling, I care more about the values and principles of a candidate and Gabbard aligns with most of mine.

Seriously, you’ve never given me one concrete policy reason for your overwhelming hate of Tulsi besides some ‘Muh Assad! Muh Modi!’ virtue signaling.

If that's true then the Republican party awaits you with open arms.

Really? Tulsi is pro Medicare for All, pro Equality Act, pro $15 minimum wage, pro ending citizens united, pro tuition free public college, anti TPP, anti interventionist foreign wars... need I go on?

You’re so full of sh**t the toilets jealous.

Edit;
And I don’t expect a meaningful response from you, just the hit and run straw man attacks you and BRTD specialize at.

I care about the values and principles of a candidate too. And Republicans do not align with my values and principles. Therefore no candidate heavily supported by Republicans could ever do so. You know how my motto here is "all liberal, all the time"? It's obvious.

The latter bit is not virtue signalling. I hate Assad and Modi, and thus I hate any candidate friendly to them. I also hate Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Steve Bannon, Putin, saying "radical Islamic terrorism" (not because I care about it being offensive to Islam, seeing as how I believe it's a false religion, but because the term simply doesn't make any sense, period. "Radical Islamist terrorism" is a phrase that does and I wouldn't object to) and the Knights of Columbus (while I don't like Harris, she was absolutely completely right in attacking the KoC.) How can a candidate friendly to all those things align with my values?

Look, if Kamala Harris endorsed AfD in Germany, that would be a concerning sign, no? Tulsi's Modi fanaticism is no different.

Oh please, the GOP / Neoconservatives only cares about democracy when foreigners vote for candidates approved by their corporate overlords. The second democracy starts to go sideways and voters start voting in people who will stand up to those monied interests — its all about regime change.

Imagine if a Democratic candidate met with Bolsonaro and the outrage to that.

That's basically what Gabbard did.

I’ve asked you multiple times for a single concrete policy reason for your hate against Tulsi and time and again you come up short. Maybe it’s because you can’t actually point to anything besides her desire as a Hindu to have closer US-India relations. But perhaps I’d just rather quote the congresswoman herself, and you can choose to take her at face value or not:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

But sure, rather than using Occam’s razor and assuming there are people out there who would try and attach themselves to Tulsi for their own purposes due to her outsized influence for a congresswoman on US-India relations, anti-interventionist foreign policy, etc, let’s just assume she’s secretly a Hindu fascist who hates all Muslims. Sure, that sounds about right to you, doesn’t it?

There are many Hindus in America who feel they need to convert to Christianity

Uh, I'm supposed to think that's a problem and work against that?

I have no affiliation with the RSS. Sometimes people on both sides, for their own purposes, try to say I somehow favor, or am part, of the BJP or take photos of me at Indian events and circulate them for their own promotional reasons. But the fact is, I’m not partial to BJP, the Congress Party, or any other particular political party in India.

Ah, so she takes a ridiculous Moderate Hero position instead of actively supporting the center-left party. Not acceptable for a member of a center-left party.

Imagine if a Brazilian-American Congressperson had met with Bolsonaro to "have closer US-Brazil relations." Would that be OK? Of f[inks]ing course not.

What a stupid idea to say someone should actively support this or that political party in the largest democracy in the world. What Tulsi said isn’t moderate hero position, lmao — it’s basic diplomacy and why she would make such a great President. I also love how you changed the goal posts from ‘she’s basically a Hindu fascist!’ to ‘she’s a moderate hero!’

No point in arguing with you, you’ve already decided what you want to believe.

Bernie is the closest to being a tankie, so him.

Tulsi’s probably more faschy than him but she’s a joke candidate so.

Trump is the most tankie candidate. He's openly defended the Soviet Union's foreign policy.

That was a long time ago. Trump defended the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan a few months ago.

If they existed, you'd think they'd be pretty open and released by Hillary in 2016, instead of not even showing up on Google.

Clinton treated Sanders with kid gloves, something that Bernie doesn’t support against “political enemies and ideological saboteurs” as he said himsef.
