    LOL... 3 old people...

    I dunno about the VP deal though... I can't imagine giving up being a Senator (Harris, Booker, Amy) for being VP... Nobody is going to make Mayor Pete or Yang or Steyer VP

    Castro or Beto would be interesting VP thoughts though... would make Texas more interesting...

    Biden/Castro or Warren/Booker are my best guesses right now.
    Bernie is done.

    Although I understand where she's coming from I would rather see her attended debate and voice her complaint directly to the American people watching.

    I've only watched the highlights of the previous debates because I have no dog in this fight I can't vote in the Democratic primaries

    Well if we need a third viable party, why not have 15? 45? 100 viable parties?

    Once you begin to see the problem with 100 parties, the same problem prevents 3 parties.

    Why not just have one then?

    I personally believe political parties should be abolished all together. A duopoly isn’t working

    The REALITY of the situation is that Only 2 Parties have a realistic chance of winning the Presidency.

    A vote for a 3rd Party is a WASTED Vote.

    3rd Party Voters handed the Election to Trump in 2016.

    The Dems need to avoid a repeat of that in 2020.

    She knows the media is complicit in the Democrat Social Conditioning efforts. Not attending may not be what people want or expect, but it would probably save her a lot of wasted effort.

    I'd love to see her team up with Trump and expose the media bias. Talk about a Dream Team.

    So, the DNC says she can participate in the next debate and now she's saying she doesn't want to participate.

    Strange....

    You'd laugh at the faces Democrats make when I tell them that what happened to Bernie was no big deal because the Democrats have never said they were going to nominate anyone as the result of an election. The DNC picks who they want.

    They stand there blinking, with their mouth hanging open. They literally had no idea.

    Not strange, she is smart, which itself is strange. A smart Democrat. Weird.

    They're not rigging the polls, they're rigging their primary, just like they did in 2016.

    Gabbard can't win BECAUSE the primary is rigged.

    Good point.

    Looks like just more of the same needy attention-whoring from Tulsi.

    Maybe she wants to skip the debate to go surfing?

    People like you claimed that Trump had no chance, so forgive me if I don't put much stock in your self-serving predictions.

    It's simply not rigged. The DNC never said they would nominate anyone as the result of an election.

    The DNC picks whomever they wish.

    tulsi is one of those people that remind me a bit of how I felt about Bernie back in 2016: straightforward honest sincere message. I don't agree with their positions on so many things but I do appreciate the fact that she's direct and honest.

    She does have a future though I think her time will come

    The real waste is voting for soulless establishment types who will just keep the corrupt status quo firmly in place.

    She said she may boycott it, not that she will. She's just trying to raise awareness of her campaign.

    So the "Democratic" party isn't really democratic.
