This is a gem of an interview which puts clarity to how the left thinks... from someone that was sheparded into the left.
The left will claim the right is like this [and they are not].
We're in dangerous times...

As Ronald Reagan used to say, "I didn't leave the Democratic Party, they left me."
Back in the 90s, the Democrats had gone too far left and lost Congress because of it. After losing so badly, they didn't actually change their views, but they did change their rhetoric, and to a lesser degree their policy. Being labeled liberal had become a political liability, and they knew it.
But they forgot their lesson. 10-15 years later they not only returned to their old liberal policies and rhetoric, they went WAY beyond that, into completely new territory that wasn't even on the political spectrum until very recently.
BUT, the Republican Party is doing the same damn thing. I didn't leave the Republican Parry, they left me. In the 90s, we lost a lot of good people, who got replaced by fanatics. In more recent years it's gotten even worse.
Trump? Really? I was a Reagan era Republican. Reagan and Trump are like night and day. Why so many Republicans and conservatives actually like that guy is completely beyond me. There is no way in hell I'd vote for that mother fucker. I didn't change, the Republicans did, and I don't want any part of it.
Here main point was military recruits was manipulated in fighting an endless war thst can only end in disaster. As a democratic. The pullout of the Afghanistan was indeed a disaster.
So Tulsi prediction already because history she can stop pretending being democratic party member. Do we not remember the Republicans and Bush Jr started the war the in the first place and started it in the wrong country. Osama bin ladin who was founded by cia and Saudi Arabia was found in packastan.
Yes Tulsi is anti war but is the most ass background advocate about it.
some valid points, don't agree with all that. do't think they knew where BL was... took time to track down. she's supportive of military, which is good becase others were not. suicide rate of military bad... maybe worse than trans genders... and current prez spends lots of time protecting trans people. Clinton also bad in policy.
we've had a lot of bad decisions over the years...
The Blue Dogs were a force to be reckoned with. Those days are long gone. A part of me wants to ask my Blue Dog uncle what his pronouns are, but I don't want to embarrass him. When I was 10 years old I cut hay on his property. There was room on the tractor seat for his doggy and me. We were living the dream.

Tulsi Gabbard knows the democrats from the inside. she was democrat and their presidential candidate in 2020 but the "anti-sexist anti-mysoginist" fake virtue signaller democrats, during primary voting were themselves #sexist excluded her to prefer the white man. the biggest hypocrites!
now she explained the difference, of the democrat ideas she had supported, different from the democrat party today, changed from many ideas that voters had supported.
she knows n she makes sense.
real democrats hav no option except the lesser evil republicans.
Ronnie Ray-Guns left the Democrats when he got rich, like most formerly poor folk who throw in with the wealth when they get some caish and power.
The DUMBOCRATS tried to ape the REPIGLIKSCAM and became beholden to their rich donors, who forced them to turn right, resulting in two rightist parties, so frustrated blue-collar people went REPIGLIKSCAM, counter their class interests because the GOP ( "Goobers, Oddballs, Popinjays") offered them red meat like God, guns and gays (blacks, too, but we've been in play for racists since 1619) and ala Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson's 1965 narrative, they turned to the REPIGLIKSCAM Party.
She makes sense. Democrats used to be the party of the working class. Now they are the party of the non-working class. President Trumps America First policies resonated with people that work for a living. He gets a lot of support from union guys an law enforcement.
Both parties have changed.
The GOP use to be pro-free market capitalism, legal immigration and anti-dictator.
The Democrats used to be anti-war.
Now the GOP is whatever Trump wants it to be which is right now: mercantilist, nativist, protectionist and anti-immigrant. They only care about debt and deficit with there's a demorat in the White House.
The democrats have been pro-war since 2008 and are doing stupid stuff in the culture war such as "birthing person"
And yet you defend the party doing stupid stuff like pro war and "birthing person?"
@SolitarySolace I do? I'm not a sheep. I don't like either party. Biden and Trump are not mentally competent, and Trump is not only that, but immoral.
Who do you plan to vote for?
@SolitarySolace I haven't seen the final ballot yet. If I like the Libertarian candidate, I'll vote for him. If not, I will wash my hands of the whole affair and not sully them by voting for the lesser of two evils as the lesser of two evils is still evil.
Are you religious? You seem to believe in the concept of good and evil...
@SolitarySolace yes, I am religious. I expect my leaders to be moral people. I'm not a machiavellian, nor am I a fan of Bismark.
What denomination would you consider yourself? Christian? Catholic?
@SolitarySolace Christian is not a denomination. Catholic is a Christian denomination as is Baptist, Episcipal, Lutheran, etc.
I'm Catholic.
She makes sense. I didn't watch the interview (luv the Tuk) but I would say the democrats are just as far left as a bunch of pussies can go.
Tulsi Gabbard was only ever a DINO (Democrat in name only). She's not really in a position to comment on the direction of the party.
Video is TL:DW. But I'm seeing Carlson and Trump. That ain't good.
I don't trust her one bit but she does make sense
why don't trust? do you see a lack of integrity?
She's a female. I don't trust females without a good reason for me to trust them.
I believe all women are woke in one way or another
Right now politics as a whole doesn't make sense. I don't think we have any good politicians right now. Not right or democrats. We are in some real trouble. Hold on tight America its gonna be a bumpy ride
Like most people I was a Democrat until 2008, a libertarian until 2016 a Republican until 2020 and whatever Donald Trump is in 2024.
