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

[Fort Fun Indiana]

The media isn't going to forgive her for helping expose the cheating by the DNC last time or for being right about Syria.

Silly nonsense. The media covered that extensively, and she is not "right" about Syria. Her compliments for the Assad regime were gross and generally panned by everyone. That was a huge mistake she may not live down, politically. Though it's not impossible, as we see Bernie Sanders managed to live down similar remarks.

But Sanders, unlike Tulsi, takes the criticism head on. Ask him about his remarks, and he explains them, and what he meant, and how much of them he still believes. Ask Tulsi about hers, and she throws a mild hissy fit and blames the world for being out to get her

A stark contrast.

 

[Pogo]

Much as I hate to cite Tweeter, there is a video here, and reactions to it.

Watch Kamala Harris declare that there are "no women currently in this race".

We could have used this level of denialism four years ago. If the media had simply decided that Orange Rump didn't exist.....

She was right about Syria. Our government has constantly and consistently lied to us about these stupid, wasteful wars.

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....

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]​

How many years did Bill Clinton serve in the military?

This has what to do with the discussion?

Pay attention dumbass and read what stupid wrote.
Who was the referenced "Captain Bone Spurs"?
So you dumb son of a bitch don't ask another stupid question again.

Isolationism!!! There’s that word. It comes out every time someone speaks of discontinuing non-stop war. Just like clockwork.

[rightwinger]

So about that media attention thing.

I just went out to run some errands. On the way I dialed up a cable news channel on the satellite radio (doesn't matter which but it was MSNBC). Heard an entire segment on the latest in the Democratic primaries, headlined with "it's down to three candidates, only two of which have a real shot". They then went to a live report from a Biden event complete with an actuality clip from Biden. Then they transferred to a live report from a Sanders event complete with an actuality clip from Sanders. Then they summed up and moved on to the next unrelated story.

Never once even mentioned Tulsi Gabbard's NAME. Never mentioned her state, her position, nothing. That's media pumping the Same Old Thing for ratings. "Only two have a real shot and we'll tell you all about them, but that third one we won't even touch".

On the way back I flipped on the radio again and they were actually doing a segment about women running for President. I didn't hear it from the beginning but I heard Elizabeth Warren used as an example, I heard Hillary Clinton used as an example, heard nothing about Tulsi. Clinton isn't even running.

That's what I mean by being ignored by the media and the polling/voting that results from it.

When there were twenty candidates running, Tulsi struggled to be in the top twenty. Her numbers have not gone up significantly since then

Other than conservatives who support her as a muckraker in the Democratic Party, she has little support.

I liked her ever since she was willing to stand up to Obama on Syria.

It's too bad that the (D)'s have gave up the anti-war position. Maybe the Green party can step in.

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

Rule changes cannot be made without the entire DNC approving of it. Thank you for continuing to show your stupidity. The change in the criteria was made because we need a debate between the candidates who have a chance not a fringe candidate.

How many years did Bill Clinton serve in the military?

How many years did Trump serve in the military? She sounds like a crybaby to me.

Why did allow they allow 20 candidates in the first debate? Why wasn’t that already in the rules?

It’s so weird the DNC keeps changing rules.

 

[busybee01]

Silly nonsense. The media covered that extensively, and she is not "right" about Syria. Her compliments for the Assad regime were gross and generally panned by everyone. That was a huge mistake she may not live down, politically. Though it's not impossible, as we see Bernie Sanders managed to live down similar remarks.

A stark contrast.

She was right about Syria. Our government has constantly and consistently lied to us about these stupid, wasteful wars.

She is kowtowing to someone who gasses women and children and Putin as well. She has a thing for dictators.

you are another ignorant dumbass. The criteria was set low because everybody was tied for first place.

Ok, but so many were not viable candidates.

Also, why do they keep having to change the rules? Why wasn’t it already tiered.

You aren’t actually contending it’s NOT a corrupted process are you? You are not that much of an ignorant dumbass, are you?

 

[Dragonlady]

the modern Democrat Party is just so, well, undemocratic

SOMEONE WE DON'T LIKE HAS QUALIFIED FOR THE DEBATE -- QUICK, LET's CHANGE THE RULES!!

nevermind the concerted effort to screw over Comrade Bernie

Tulsi needs to be allowed on stage as per the rules going in

I don't agree with her on much (although she is the most reasonable of all the Dem candidates)

she won't win (Dems won't even give her a chance); but if she did, she would be the first PILF...

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

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii) is calling on former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) to urge the Democratic National Committee (DNC) to allow her on stage for the next primary debate after newly released qualifications for the event barred her from participating.

Did I miss the Republican debates? How is the Democratic Party being "undemocratic", by having rules about having support and/or votes before you can get on the debate stage, when the Republican Party isn't holding debates at all. There are other Republicans running for President, and they're not even having debates, and in fact, many states have cancelled their Republican primaries altogether.

So the party that is having monthly televised debates between its contenders leading into the primaries, is "undemocratic" than the party which has yet to hold a debate among its candidates, and isn't even holding primaries in many states.

Conservative pretzel logic at its finest.

 

[ColonelAngus]

lefties, just fucking admit the Primary process is rigged and move on.

THE FUCKING DNC ALREADY SAID SO IN COURT.

You idiots act like that case didn’t happen.

laughable that you would call anyone stupid; especially with your bad habit of being wrong about, well, just about everything...

even funnier that your misstatements are so easy to disprove

everyone was not tied for 1st place; not even close

rules were changed because the Democrat Party is exerting its will and pushing to nominate whom they want (same as 2016)

I am simply pointing these things out

It’s amazing how the blue pilled liberals personally attack so easily. I wonder how they discuss things with people in real life.

It’s just odd they can’t admit the DNC is corrupt and the process to pick a nominee is rigged. DNC admits it in court, but the stupid liberals can’t admit it on a message board.

huh?

Did I miss the Democrat debates in 2012???

How is the Democratic Party being "undemocratic", by having rules about having support and/or votes before you can get on the debate stage, when the Republican Party isn't holding debates at all.

why are you being obtuse? the point I am making in this thread is that the Democrat Party has unfairly changed the rules in mid stream

Tulsi went out and won the right to be on the debate stage & they changed the rules to stop her from potentially hurting Biden and assisting Sanders

it really is that simple

if you want to have a thread about the Republican process, have at it. Tat diversion is entirely unrelated to the undemocratic way in which the Des are railroading Gabbard and Sanders
