    She isn’t corrupt enough to join the RNC and not insane enough to join the DNC.
    We need a third party

    Because people vote whoever has the right letter beside their name. First step would be to remove party identification off of all ballots. Second would be to eliminate FPTP and replace it with one that allows some type of ranked voting or alternative vote method. The condorcet method is interesting also but may be too complex for the scale and systems we use.

    If she is willing to be a part of the dnc today, corruption doesn’t bother her....could be why she’s looking to leave.

    That's not "woke" enough, you have to vote for X number of each race and gender ;) Or if all else fails just pick the name with a (D) after it :p

    Affirmative action, quotas, race-based virtue signaling, and identity politics have nothing to do with merits and qualifications ;)

    I just went to her campaign site, made a donation and commented that she should run as an independent.

    That's why she would draw far more Democrats than Republicans.

    You're both right, anyone who is not totally deranged, not insane enough to support socialism and open borders looks like a moderate nowadays. Lol

    By any other measure she is still severely liberal. Lol

    Affirmative action is what gave us first mainstream, clean-shaven, articulate African American president who had no other actual qualifications to lead this country.

    People are finally waking up to the "Democrats vs Republicans" argument

    The first fight, is Americans vs Deep State

    Bernie Sanders is .... I can't tell, I want to say he isn't Deep State, but I think the 2016 election forcefully corrupted him. I don't trust him anymore to think America First.

    Tuls is a Far left Progressive, but she is an American and THIS is why people are supporting her.

    Once the Deep State is dismantled, we will either go to war, or they will finally understand they have been played. Tulsi will lead the Democrat Party from there, its quite obvious.

    The fact that the Deep State is going so against her, pretty much clarifies what is going on to a lot of people

    She's not, she is incredibly far Left.

    Republicans and Moderates like her because she is anti Deep State, I think the Jimmy Dore/Tusli Gabbard types are much more prevalent than Democrats want to admit.

    When Democrats say "the establishment who loves war", they are literally just saying "The Deep State that loves war"

    Democrats have done their best to not let people connect the two, but the connections are simply too obvious

    Because qualification has nothing to do with pure numbers and Demographics and everything to do with ability, interest and willingness to do the job. In your example the NBA and NFL should look very different than they do. Correct? Should the NBA be an exact reflection of people who buy tickets to the games? You probably won’t like the results. ;)

    Your view I’ve heard many times before and is an extremely simplistic view of reality. The video game design industry is mostly guys because mostly guys take it most seriously. Girls play game but they don’t play games like guys play games. Elementary education barely has any men teaching but there are lots of fathers paying these teachers. Why aren’t around half of the teachers men? Because men don’t want to do the job.

    And the reason there are fewer Republican “minorities” is because Democrats tell them what they want to hear instead of actually helping them. Pandering doesn’t really help anyone.

    No worries.

    IF she runs, then I might care.

    As of NOW--The whole "Tulsi 3rd Party" thing is just BS rising from the Wishful Thinking of the RW Echo Chamber.

    That said, get back to me when she actually announces.

    Until then? :bored:
