    Neoliberal feminist and New York Times columnist asserts that "gender politics are at the core of all politics".

    Not that over half of Americans make less than 30k per year. Or that worker's wages have been stagnant since the 1970s. Or this:

    GoFundMe CEO: One-Third of Fundraisers Are for Medical Costs | Time

    Or the increasing threat of nuclear war and climate change.

    No. What most people really care about is identity politics.

    Opinion | The Next President Should Not Be a Man (except if she's Tulsi Gabbard - my edit)

    This is because "a male candidate’s very maleness" makes them incapable of effectively challenging the patriarchy, as exemplified by Trump.

    Is it any coincidence these feminists live in big expensive up-and-coming cities like New York?

    The typical professional career woman comes to mind, the one trying to claw her way up the corporate ladder.

    No time for a baby. Maybe when she's 40.

    "Equality" for them means equality with all the rich successful males in their little world.
    A woman earning $90,000 a year wondering why her male colleague in the law firm is earning $100,000.

    Tulsi is the Trump of the democrat party. A threat to the party. The media and the democrat establishment are trying to destroy her. She deviates from a lot of the Washington consensus.

    She is explicitly anti-war, anti–regime change, anti-nation-building, anti–surveillance state, and anti–Deep State. A former advocate of conversion therapy, Gabbard is a proponent of free speech, civil discourse, and government transparency, unlike the rest of her party.

    No. Tulsi didn't even know what conversion therapy was until that smear was pushed. And you're talking about like its a good thing.

    "Aloha. In my past, I said and believed things that were wrong, and worse, hurtful to people in the LGBTQ+ community and their loved ones. I’m deeply sorry for having said and believed them." ~ Tulsi Gabbard

    She had also been affiliated with Alliance for Traditional Marriage that promoted conversion therapy.

    From the Wayback Machine's record of Alliance for Traditional Marriage:

    You're talking about her working with her father in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

    Yes, of course, but in today's world of anything in the past means you are guilty, it will be used against her and not by republicans.

    Tulsi supported same sex marriage before Hillary and Obama.
