Gabbard calls on Biden, Sanders to help put her on debate stage

[Pogo]

Do you even news?

The DNC made it impossible for Tulsi Gabbard to make the next debate — Business Insider

idiot

She has ONE delegate and polls at ZERO. Fuck the DNC ... Why is she still even in the race?

She does not "poll at zero". You're not gonna get anywhere making shit up.

Biden was "polling at zero" two weeks ago. Polls can be, and are, manipulated by advertising (two words: Michael Bloomberg) and by including or excluding people from things like debates ---- or in the case of the Republican Party, by cancelling primaries altogether.

. If the System WANTS her to poll at zero, it will make it happen. If the System WANTS somebody to get the nomination, it will make that happen.

Ok - 1-2%? - Biden has NEVER polled at 1 or 2% That's pretty much zero in my world.

Gabbard has consistently polled in single digits in national polls. Gabbard has polled at 1 percent in several major polls. ... On August 23, 2019, Gabbard's campaign stated that she had received 2 percent or more in 26 national and statewide polls, but only two of the polls were certified by the DNC.

This whole Ratings Mentality reminds me of the Rumpbots who crow about "look how many people went to this rally". The idea here is to select a candidate who can win. The perception of who that is absolutely CAN BE, and REGULARLY IS, manipulated by those who have the resources to do so, which is exactly what a political party is for.

Remember, "ratings" (and how many come to see a clown show) measure attention, not assent. People do amass to go see a clown show. If we elect Chief Executives on that basis ------------------- we'll continue to get clowns.

Thanks - You're one of USMB's smartest posters. Okay, you've changed my mind despite the fact that she's our Orangeling's favorite candidate.

I'm going to write the DNC and request that she be allowed in the debate despite the fact that I'm a registered Independent (I won't tell them that ;-)

I'm not exactly happy with two old white guys pushing 80 - Or, you know ....

See that? I done pushed her up to 2% in a single thread. And the ceiling is nowhere in sight.

She should hire me.

It was not a rule. They were right to change it.

which is it baw?

was it not a rule, OR were they right to change it

this is not like choosing a public restroom in a progressive area, you can't have it both ways...

Don't be stupid. Rule changes have to go through the entire DNC when it gathers. The DNC established the criteria for getting into a debate. They can change it at will.

so, no answer to my question

they changed the rule to benefit Quid Pro Joe; Tulsi, as a real moderate, enhances Bernie's chances if she stays in and gets real exposure

She could get the young vote, the woman vote, the diversity vote and lots of middle-to-left votes generally. She could be viable in any party.

And the military vote...
And the Not The Same Old Thing vote...
And the Quit Running Around the World Starting Wars vote....

Dimms change rules to cheat Tulsi.

Dimms wouldn’t know fair play if it blew semen all over their blue dresses.

And the Quit Running Around the World Starting Wars vote....

you may hate Trump, but he has been the best POTUS on this score in many decades

She should ask Putin for help. BTW, this is not a beauty contest.

 

[DrLove]

at this stage you need to focus on the real players

so, you have made peace with having an old, rich, white guy as POTUS?

Dunno, have YOU?

 

[there4eyeM]

It looks bad for the Democratic Party (that already doesn't look so wonderful) to change the rules this way. It only reinforces the "rigged" image.
A little audacity, a little daring couldn't hurt. Let the candidate debate.

The bigly question I have about Tulsi is her isolationism. Wonder if her policies in that regard would be much different than Dotard's?

But yep, a military record is what I liked about Pete .. Hers is pretty cool and like Pete (and UNLIKE Captain Bone Spurs') she ENLISTED.

In April 2003, while serving in the Hawaii State Legislature, Gabbard enlisted in the Hawaii Army National Guard.[61] In July 2004, she was deployed for a 12-month tour in Iraq, serving as a specialist with the Medical Company, 29th Support Battalion, 29th Infantry Brigade Combat Team.[62][63][64] In Iraq, Gabbard served at Logistical Support Area Anaconda, completing her tour in 2005.[65][66]

In March 2007, she graduated from the Accelerated Officer Candidate School at the Alabama Military Academy. She was commissioned as a second lieutenant and assigned to the 29th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 29th Infantry Brigade Combat Team of the Hawaii Army National Guard, this time to serve as an Army Military Police officer.[5][67][68] She was deployed to Kuwait from 2008 to 2009.[66][69][70]

Gabbard is a recipient of the Combat Medical Badge and the Meritorious Service Medal.[71][72] On October 12, 2015, she was promoted from captain to major at a ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific[73][74] She continues to serve as a major in the Hawaii Army National Guard.[75]​

Would R's know fair play if their Orange Anus blew semen from his mushroom dick all over Stormy's silicone blow up boobs while his wife was home alone with a newborn?

She is a veteran. She was elected. Those are two huge advantages over the present White House occupant.

The only qualification that counts pre your standards Donald Trump was ELECTED AS PRESIDENT.

 

[theHawk]

the modern Democrat Party is just so, well, undemocratic

Really? How has Tulsi been doing in the primaries?

Is she delusional? Why would the front runners want to bend the rules for someone to get on stage to attack them?

Delusion on parade. Tulsi, put in the work and run again next time.

It wouldn’t be bending the rules. The rules they had would had meant she would be on stage, the DNC changed them to exclude her.

Funny how Dems cannot allow someone with an alternative thought process, but still very liberal, to be included in these debates.

They know she would sound like the only sane person on stage.
