Could I play as Tulsi Gabbard running for the Libertarian nomination?

I'd like to offer a very half-hearted objection, because there's literally in Tulsi Gabbard's political positions to show that she's a Libertarian.

I'm not the OP, but I think if you want to play as Gabbard, you should either run as a Democrat or as an Independent.

I know her political beliefs don't exactly line up, but the Libertarian Party is not just for regular right-libertarians (Jesse Ventura has very similar views to Gabbard and was seen as a potential strong Libertarian candidate in 2016) and Gabbard has received support from established Libertarian figures.

Gabbard has been viewed as an "ally" to libertarians, got a lot of support from libertarians in the democratic primary and is literally listed as a 'Libertarian Democrat' on Wikipedia. If Mike Gravel can be a Libertarian why can't Tulsi?

I think Tulsi's views on healthcare alone would be a campaign-killer for the Libertarians.

I'd be happy to have her stand for the Green Party nomination, but her other views would make her untenable in the Libertarian primary.

Sounds good.
