What took you so long Tulsi ?

[eigoya]

Honestly, cultist is the closest to all the political maneuverings of the past few years, why not?

If Anti Nuclear war is a cult, There should be more people signing up. Even a blue cow would do for most voters in HI. It looks like she's going to do weekly podcasts. Too bad she didnt get elected.

If Anti Nuclear war is a cult,

Tulsi Gabbard was full of double speak as Hawaii’s representative.  She still is now.  When she was in the House of Representatives, did she show up for "we the people?"  Or did she pull a Jen Ruggles on the national stage and persue her own personal agernda, interests, hobbies, and ambitions, running for president, then hitting the talk show and fake news interview circuit on a full time basis?  While we continued to write her paycheck.  

How can she claim to be anti-nuke yet throw her complicit support behind a ruler who invades a neighboring country and threatens to use nuclear warheads on them during his invasion?  If she were truly anti-nuke she would call him out, and tell him to promise never to use those weapons.  Instead she makes worthless claims about her stance in made-for-TV soundbites, with nothing to back it up.  Toothless.  

I’m glad she’s no longer causing problems for us here in Hawaii.  At least she’s moved on.  I’ll give her credit for this much, she’s finally become more honest about who she is politically.

Most of the stuff Tulsi says about Democrats sounds like a lot the opinions of others..

It sounds to me like Tulsi's only concern is how she sounds to the orange moron and his mindless followers. And, I suspect, she's hoping if he don't run again she'll be asked to be Tucker Carlson's running mate.

Gabbard is clueless about Russia's ambition.  She argued that simply promising them Ukraine would never be admitted to NATO could have prevented Putin's invasion.

I don't believe she has a political future with the Republican party either.

Its not "complicit support" to seek a peaceful solution. If trying to make peace by talking with your enemies to save lives, perhaps an entire planet is below you or somehow being a traitor. well lets push that button and get it over with because humanity is beyond hope. Russia is not going away.

If trying to make peace by talking with your enemies

Good idea.  But you have to talk to the right people.  Starting with the one making the threats.  Not talk show hosts pushing a domestic political agenda.  

If Tulsi Gabbard worked at the Hawaii County Building Department she wouldn’t look at the blueprints for a house under construction in Puna, she’d concern herself with whether the workers who made the plumbing fixtures in China were required to get COVID 19 vaccinations.  And use that fact to determine whether the plans were approved or not.  Focus Tulsi, focus.

During the debates when she was running for president she was run down by her statement that she would talk to Putin and Bashar to negotiate peace back then. This was construed that she was putins buddy, and even talk that even trying to negotiate peace made her a traitor. You iterated nearly the same thing. Running her down now because she is trying to point out that this brinkmanship of zero negotiations will leave us wandering around with our hair falling out looking for a cell signal to post more stupid shit on punaweb.

Fascism has arrived in Puna.
It has now infected every corner of our country.
It's possible that we only have 20 days left of
our democracy. 
The Trump party is a fascist party.
G-D forgive their willful ignorance.

Sometimes you need to learn from history. Tulsi wanting to negotiate with Putin was a disastrous move. Look at what he's doing in Europe. I don't know what history is taught to people here, but please recall Neville Chamberlain saying "Peace for our time" in 1938; "peace"  came seven years later at quite a cost, including Hawaii.

I agree with the Chamberlain comparison except that the closest comparison was 8 years ago. I do not agree with Tulsi on this or much of anything. However, I think we do need voices consistently against war to keep us from being too quick to go there. Where were they in 2003? Those voices obviously weren't loud enough then. I think Afghanistan was initially justified, however staying there and trying to force western style democracy and culture on them was a mistake as was the way we eventually left.

I like Tulsi for being that contrary voice, that little voice in the back of this country's mind making us properly justify our actions and publicly counter the arguments of Tulsi or other contrary voices. Being wrong on some issue doesn't make them unpatriotic or a traitor. It just makes them wrong, but their arguments need to be considered.

I could never vote for Tulsi but I thought Hawaii made a pretty good host for her. Hawaii's politicians are generally pretty irrelevant anyhow so no harm done and a contrary voice is heard.
