Why is there so much hate here directed at Gabbard? I just can't figure it out ?

When you look at her platform, it's all common sense type stuff, the sort of things every Democrat should be in favor of.

She is for:

Banning Assault rifles and high cap magazines. She cosponsored a bill to do just that. Wants universal background checks and mandatory confiscation of existing AR15 weapons. -Ok, sounds like a good start. Maybe not enough, but she's a pragmatist.

Wants $15.00/hr Min wage. - Ok, who doesn't favor this? I think $25-$30 is more reasonable, but it's a start at least.


For reparations. - Who isn't?


Wants to abolish the Electoral College. - 100% agreed. Take it a step further though, and elect senators by popular vote, too.

Is opposed to all fossil and nuclear fuels. - this is a no-brainer.


Favors Medicare for all. Again, who doesn't?


Thinks College should be free. - Spot on.


Abortion should have no restrictions. - Exactly.


Wants international pricing on medication. - Hell yes.


Wants Citizenship for Dreamers. - As opposed to what?


Slash the Defense budget. - Gee, a military officer who wants to end military adventurism? That makes her literally THE most honest person on earth.





These are CORE Democratic values. Every single one of them. But all everyone wants to do is destroy her. I just can't wrap my head around it.

Lots of Democrats do not agree with all of those things. Lots.

You're crazy.

Tulsi doesn't support half of those "values" -- like many other Dems.

Your question is good, though.

Just in the last debate she said No to several of those points -- for example on abortion.

I doubt you have been to her website.

She voted against it because it didn't go far enough, and it let existing owners keep them. That's why she opposed it.

If it passed, it then becomes a "solved" problem that politicians then take credit for, which didn't actually solve a thing. She voted against it because it would've accomplished nothing except ending sales of new assault weapons. It didn't address confiscating the millions upon millions that are already out there. That's why she opposed it.

That's a good way to convince voters you are either a liar or purist. Neither is politocally wise.

Well you asked why she is hated. Who do think would know the answer to that?
