If I didn't know anything about Gabbard I'd think this was a Republican ad.

It sounds like an ad a Republican would run.

What wrong with a patriotically themed ad? If anything, I’m happy Tulsi is trying to reclaim Patriotism and love of country from the Republicans.

It's nationalistic jingoistic glurge.

I didn’t realize the anthem or an American flag was ‘jingoistic’ the irony of course being that Tulsi is probably the least jingoistic candidate running.

BRTD's attitude towards Gabbard (and this goes for Democrats in general) represents an abandonment of any possibility for bipartisanship in the foreseeable future. Some people on here probably think that I like Gabbard and Yang because I'm a "right-wing troll," but in all honesty, I think they're the best candidates to heal this country's divides after four years of the most divisive president since the Civil War. The fact that they're trying to create coalitions that include libertarians, former Trump supporters, and other right-wingers shows a genuine desire to reach across the aisle and repair the broken partisanship in this country. I don't want to live in a nation where the president only represents 51% of the populace. The last four presidents have been called "illegitimate" for a number of reasons, and I'm sick of it.

The most obnoxious partisan red avatars will then whine about how "Buh-but the Republicans never compromise!" and mumble something about Mitch McConnell. Boo-hoo. McConnell won't be around forever, and I'd like to think that this country will outlive him. The question is whether that post-obstructionist country will be one of self-destructive partisanship or honest attempts at reaching a consensus. Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, and Bernie Sanders are not consensus candidates. They're bare-minimum candidates whose path to victory is winning PA, MI, and WI and not much more. I want the Democrats to nominate someone who addresses the concerns of Trump supporters while still denouncing the divisive nature of this administration. Sorry, but you can't be the party of "stronger together" while simultaneously writing off a third of the electorate as "beyond hope."

Like most things out of Gabbard that don't involve arguing with other candidates (whether they're Harris or Ryan) it's fairly generic and forgettable.

Not only is it completely devoid of any substance, but it also looks cheaply made and poorly edited?

I remember laughing at it when I saw it on TV.

I kind of like it.  And it’s nice to have Democrats like Gabbard that are trying to reclaim patriotism as a Democratic trait.

It's the weirdest, most uncomfortable ad I've ever seen. It feels like an ad by a TV show version of a presidential candidate. Not to mention the creepy nationalist platitudes

Honestly I don’t see what is wrong with this ad. She is praising a great contury she wants to be president of.

AOC just praised Peronism, but apparently Democrats are above militarism and patriotism. Because BRTD said.

You suck at posting.

It's corny and I don't like the pledge of allegiance but if Democrats were smart they'd wrap themselves in the flag like this more often.

If you think this is the worst ad wait till you see the bilge Trump rolls out in the general election.

Exactly!

What planet do you guys live on, where you not alive in 2004 for the last GOP reelection?

In 2020 there'll be so many Stars&Stripes on screen it'll be hard to spot the Orange face.


I peruse Breitbart regularly and this picture is posted in in the comments of every second article:



Stop letting the GOP get away with their fake patriotism!
