[Cellblock2429]

Tulsi Gabbard leaves Democratic Party, denounces it as 'elitist cabal'...best news all year

"I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers … who divide us”

/----/ I'm not buying it. Did she join the GOP? Will she run in 2024 as an Independent to split the Republican vote?

No, her talking points have always been right/center. Lately she has went pretty much full righttard. She is trying to get her own gig on Faux Paus Nuz at this point.

Democrats and "the left" (I hate using generalizations like that because that is what they are) hammered Bush on his wars (even though many Democrats voted for them) but when Obama undertook his own wars, Gabbard was one of the few to speak up.

Some of her new statements bother me as they seem to be counter to what she stood for in the past but she is hardly what is wrong with this country.

Democrats are the pro-war party.

 

[Aldo Raine]

She's pro-choice and she's for national health care. She belongs with the rest of the liberal Democrats. Problem is she got in a cat fight with Kamala Harris.

She is like you and is pro Putin. You guys have earned her.

Never said she is what is wrong with this country. Just glad she is moving on though.

Nobody is pro Putin so you better get your facts straight.

Why? Because she won't support the war mongering? What was positive about the Democrats becoming this?

What war mongering exactly?

 

[pknopp]

What war mongering exactly?

Did they condemn Obama's? No, they supported him. We had no business getting involved in Syria. Gabbard was the only one willing to say so.

Ukraine. While not directly, directly involved, we are still involved. Before all of this started our position should have been "we will abide by our previous agreements". If we had done this, there is a good chance there is no war in Ukraine right now and we wouldn't be out billions of dollars.

But you know all of this already.

You are okay with a proxy war with Russia.

Agree about Syria 100%. The rest is bullshit. Perhaps of Putin hadn't invaded Ukraine in 2014 there would be absolutely NO conflict now. Just saying

Wat war are we in exactly?

Obama was in charge when Russia invaded Crimea.

Gee you're dumb.

We didn't renege on our agreement with Russia to not support the movement of NATO any further east?

 

[Aldo Raine]

Obama was in charge when Russia invaded Crimea.

Totally get that, what the fuck does that have to do with Russian aggression? The 1 common denominator I this is Putin.

 

[Aldo Raine]

Gee you're dumb.

So no war.

 

[Aldo Raine]

Not until recently nope not really. Those nations applied but were not excepted until recently.

I am speaking "recently".
