    Thanks for reposting. I'll definitely read through. I just became aware of her about a year and a half ago. She stands for much of what I support as well. Though I'm probably a little left of her being a part of the commie, steal from the rich, resentment Complex, or so I'm told, lol.

    If she sticks to her guns against pressure from her own party, she will be one to watch in 2020 just because she has maturity and experience that AOC, who I like as well, lacks.

    The problem for her is that she doesn't want to conform to the "Hillary" type of establishment left wing. Donors fear that she won't be someone they could buy out.

    As much as I think she deserves to win the Dem nomination, I don't see it happening. The donors need someone they can control like Hillary or Biden. They need an easy target.

    What previous hate speech? And it was partly her fathers campaign she was invovled with. Can people evolve? Trump was okay grabbing people by their soft spots because he's a star and he's president which is okay with you right? Here is what she says now:

    "First, let me say I regret the positions I took in the past, and the things I said. I'm grateful for those in the LGBTQ+ community who have shared their aloha with me throughout my personal journey," Gabbard wrote in a statement first provided to CNN and confirmed by ABC News.

    "Over the past six years in Congress, I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to help work toward passing legislation that ensures equal rights and protections on LGBTQ+ issues, such as the Equality Act, the repeal of DOMA, Restore Honor to Servicemembers Act, the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, the Safe Schools Improvement Act and the Equality for All Resolution. Much work remains to ensure equality and civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ Americans and if elected President, I will continue to fight for equal rights for all," she added.

    Hard to argue against this. This is why I try to explain to right-wingers that there really is no liberal Democratic party. They both are two sides of the same beast and serve the same interests. They just have different priorities is all. Listening to Hillary on the campaign trail made me want to barf knowing her and her husbands history going back years to the Arkansas days.

    Were you listening to Hillary with a deep southern accent or the new hillary with a new york twang?

    First she has to be selected by the DNC to be the candidate. Is she a DNC insider?

    "homosexual extremists". I believe she used that phrase for quite a while in her public life. Until recently, where she had to publicly refrain from her otherwise "honest and heartfelt" opinion (as she herself repeated to many an interviewer). There's a record here. One from which she will find little quarter. So, like Obama and Hillary, she has to "evolve" her position, publicly. Because her "honest and heartfelt" opinion was actually real bigotry and now she wants us to believe she's "changed"..

    The unfortunate truth here is I don't believe she has changed. It's not like her other ideological pet favorites have changed. It's like suddenly expecting democrats to understand why having slaves is immoral. Long term plantation mentalities don't just change. They may retreat deeply, but they don't change. And it's the foundation of real hate that folks like Tulsi want us to ignore. And, likely, you will.

    It all depends on who the DNC want as a candidate. The billionaire Dem wings aren't nervous because they control the DNC and the DNC will choose the candidate. I can't believe you still think the electorate chooses the candidate in the Dem party.

    Democrat party primary is a scam. There is no such thing. It's been replaced by super delegates. Go out and win 50 states and if you're not the DNC chosen one, you don't have a chance of becoming the candidate.

    As I said, I've been following the Clinton's tactics since he was governor and the coruption was telling back then though most people didn't know what ol Bill was up to or who he was up to it with.

    Tell you what, tell that to a lot of republicans and learn quite quickly they will tell you how wrong you are. I have no clue how many farms there are but there are no doubt tens of thousands that the corporation owning them is the Mom and pop and kids.

    Democrats punch the time clock and are incredibly ignorant about corporations. And teaching them is non productive.

    She was a very loud voice to convert homosexuals back to being straight.

    Why hate her, she had good proposals until she was corrupted by Democrats. Oh by the way, being on the right means we are right. I mean correct.

    If you have no clue how many they are that hardly qualifies as informative, does it?

    How can you teach anything you don't know youself?

    Somethings wrong with this thread. Does anyone else see a dash for the number of threads, a N/A for last thread and a blue arrow for watched?

    And it is not moving on the list. What is going on?

    How many call signs to the Democrats use?
    1. Democrat
    2. Left Wing
    3. Progressive
    4. Communist
    5. Socialist.

    What else can you think of?

    I prefer the common form

    1. Democrat
    2. Republican

    Why is that? The two big parties always win.

    Why screw around with other call signs?

    I am not teaching the number of farms that are essentially private corporations. I simply wanted your incorrect statement changed or at least qualified.

    Sounds like you defend the slavery. Some day you get what you did to other people.

    Sounds like you make bullshit up and expect people to believe it to be fact.

    Interesting.

    Forced labor is a modern form of slavery.
