Personally I've liked the anti-military-industrial-complex stance that Tulsi has taken. But I confess I'm a bit confused by her. It's one thing to position yourself as a con-conventional candidate, but I sometimes get the impression that she is so far off the mainstream of the Democratic party that you wonder why she's even bothering to contest the primaries.
She is off the mainstream of the Democratic Party in only one respect: she dissents on foreign policy. In every other way, she is entirely in line with the party (that said, foreign policy difference is significant).
Are you aware that Gabbard endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016?
But on the other hand, it's easy to see why she's more inclined to go on Fox than MSNBC as whenever she goes on MSNBC, they spend most of the time re-litigating her Syria trip as if she was the only one who went! It's incredibly unfair and I wish they would move on from that and actually talk about other issues with her and not so much about foreign policy/ military issues.
But that is all there really is to talk to Gabbard about because in every other way she is a standard Democrat. All of the Democratic candidates are basically identical in their views except in terms of economic details to matters such as healthcare.
But then... and this is where Tulsi confuses me... she spends most of her time on Fox with the opinion people who are frankly just Trump State Tv at this point.
She has mostly gone on Tucker Carlson's show, and what she and Carlson have in common is that they dissent from the establishment view of foreign policy. They have both been attacked over it and that makes Carlson sympathetic to her.
And allow me to ask. If Fox's nighttime anchors amount to "Trump State TV," then do you acknowledge that every other major network and every major newspaper was Obama State TV and remains DNCTV? (And, btw, Tucker Carlson's show has far more diversity of opinion on it than CNN or MSNBC. In fact, I think he wastes far too many segments talking to Democrats.)
I would have greater respect for her if she focussed the majority of her time with the likes of Brett Baier and Chris Wallace. As I said she flat out confuses me. I don't get what she's trying to do.
Well let me explain this to you.....Baier and Wallace don't want to give her a platform because they have a standard establishment view of foreign policy.
At this point making that accusation is as effective as calling someone racist. It's lost its power...
Agreed, but you may as well just say that the accusation is inaccurate.
