tulsi is pro aipac, anti BDS,signed a legally binding document to be blue no matter who, and just endorsed a neoliberal war monger who launched 6 of the 8 regime change wars we are currently waging to be our next president. THIS IS WHAT CONTROLLED OPPOSITION GATE KEEPING SHILLS DO. SHES NIKKI HALEY IN A PROGRESSIVE CLOWNSUIT.

Kabobyak @6: will only vote Dem if Gabbard is VP
Exactly what I’ve been warning about for months.
A set-up whereby Bernie’s flock delivered via Tulsi as VP (with Bernie’s blessing).
Deep-State has chosen: Biden Tulsi 2020 (written on October 19, 2019)

Lots of people are behaving as if they hadn’t heard which “Party” Gabbard and Sanders were running for. They are working for the Single Party; which wing of it is irrelevant, just as irrelevant as any nuances among its different people. I just don’t get why the word “any” should be unclear — to anyone.

interesting comment off a poster at sst.. if this is correct, why do these candidates have to endorse someone, no matter who??

@Omega 15
I stand corrected in the fact he really said: (But see my note at the end)
Mark Twain > Quotes > Quotable Quote
Mark Twain
“If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.”
― Mark Twain
Emma Goldman, not so much.
From your noted wikiquote:
In the “Disputed” section of the wiki post, to which they note “there is no evidence that she made such a statement.”
If voting changed anything, it would be made illegal.
Although often attributed to Goldman, there is no evidence that she made such a statement. The earliest known example of this quote is from a 1976 newspaper opinion piece by Robert S. Borden, in “Voting is Dishonest and Fraudulent”, The Sun {Lowell, Massachusetts} (24 September 1976), p. 7: “If voting could change anything, it would be made illegal”. According to Snopes.com, this and similar statements are also incorrectly attributed to American humorist Mark Twain or American peace activist Philip Berrigan.
Variants:
If voting changed anything, they’d make it illegal.
If voting changed anything it would be illegal.
If voting made a difference it would be illegal.
If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it. The earliest known example of this quote is from a 1976 newspaper opinion piece by Robert S. Borden, in “Voting is Dishonest and Fraudulent”, The Sun {Lowell, Massachusetts} (24 September 1976), p.
But it even appears that he did not say it either. I shall remove the attribution but still like the intent of the statement. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I learn something new every day.

I don’t think they have to. Correct me if I’m wrong, but Elizabeth Warren still hasn’t endorsed anyone yet, has she?

@ 21 seamus.. thanks.. i don’t understand why she did.. it seems to defy what she stands for by supporting biden… pam hos article is a joke..

First, Tulsi was under no obligation to endorse right away even if she signed a contract agreeing to support the Nominee, besides, there is no nominee yet. Warren has not endorsed yet, and Bernie is still in the race.
I’m sick and tired of reading that Bernie should bail out graciously and that he’s being selfish and yada-yada.
FU to all that! And I’m glad Bernie got pissed and used the F word when Manu Raju was poking and prodding to pressure him on behalf of CNN.
Judging Bernie as hurting Biden for taking his time is real rich coming from the Democratic Party infidels and media shysters who conspired to railroad his campaign when ordinary, average people were financing it! I really take exception with that level of unmitigated hypocrisy! Democrats rushed in to prop up Biden before Super Tuesday and now the pandemic rushed in to slow things down and Bernie must be slow too–to leave the race! He is being given a moment and should seize it.
Bernie must not get out of the race. Primaries are being postponed. Too bad for the DNC and good for Bernie. Bernie should take center stage with the pandemic fighting for M4A, demonstrating how necessary it is, and how under-preparedness for a pandemic is dwarfed by under-preparedness for Global Warming disaster.
Bernie must hang in for the common good and shut out the stupid noise. Bernie gets what this time is all about. Reality is proving him right and everyone else wrong. Bernie can beat Trump by a mile especially now that Trump lost his economic horn to toot. All market gains have been completely erased, employment gains will be erased and Trump will be remembered as the most incompetent President in history, and he’ll deserve every minutiae of infamy for the disgrace that he’s been! Karma’s catching up with the braggart blowhard Chosen Ziofascist.
Bernie is taking his time because he knows that Biden is wrong on so many levels for the job. He had terrible judgment in the past and his brain function has not improved with the years. He does not have the good judgment and courage a true leader requires, especially now, to implement all that is required to confront the pressing challenges of this era.
Bernie hang in and be a voice for people affected by the pandemic and so much more.
He must not allow those who railroaded his campaign again to push him out! Let them stew and squirm in their failed presumption. Bernie is doing what he needs to do. He’s dealing with a f*cking global crisis! No way should he get out, especially now.

Watch the video. Dore is crushed. I was always a fan of the “movement” that Saunders purportedly led, but I always felt that Saunders, himself, was a douche. And he is. I would have never voted for him. As far as Tulsi goes….I think she is trying to stay relevant by this move. When she realized Saunders was a true feeb, she rode the wave to stay afloat and supported Biden – not that it will actually make a difference in his chances.

All attention seems to be focused on the coronavirus, but what happens in the background, namely in Syria?

Posted by: Srclient | Mar 21 2020 14:36 utc | 35

Like 2016 Trump is now running way left of the Dems(Universal basic income during coronavirus, free health care services, “backing off on Iraq based Iran militias”,preserving jobs over efficiency, getting out of Afghanistan, miracle cures). 2016:(get out of mideast, medicare for all, not touch social security).
Trump delivered none of it in 2016 and may deliver none of it (think Puerto Rico hurricane yr long power outage) but the Dems (DementiaJoe Biden/Schumer/Pelosi) are way to the right: More war, complex means test barriers to a few payouts, no med services, no free education, no housing,no jobs, no coronavirus policy. And they delivered nothing under Obama for eight years but more war.
Same right wing populist game plan against the same neo-libs. And no one hears from the Dems now. All Trump, all media channels.
There will be no “Tulsi” VP and no progressives invited to DementiaJoe’s campaign.

I still wonder why any American continues to vote for the Corporate/Financial Duopoly, and expect any significant difference in policy to occur afterwards. Isn’t it time for Americans to finally develop a brain, a heart, and some courage and vote for anyone but the party branches of the Corporate/Financial Duopoly. Send them a message!
Doing the same thing over and over again is insane.

(Gabbard)
She’s a Major in the National Guard and was a Committee Chair in the DNC which suggests that her interest in Leadership is motivated more by optimism and ambition than by idle curiosity. One of the essential tasks of a leader is to figure out a way to overcome setbacks as and when they appear. She doesn’t look or talk like a quitter, so she probably isn’t. She’s had plenty of time to figure out what went wrong with her campaign and why. Being Leadership material, she’ll have some kind of plan for what to do next. Imo.

I agree.
Additionally, Gabbard’s shown time and again she has a better read on situations than others, likely because of info she’s privy to and because of her experience as an erstwhile insider. That talent/tendency has sometimes come at a great price to her in our woefully immature, reactionary, and ADHD-ridden political environment. It is, nevertheless, a hallmark of a good leader.
Her interview with Jimmy Dore yesterday disappointed many. Although wanting more background about her decision myself, I wasn’t surprised by how she answered Dore’s questions. She was obviously tired but was as disciplined as always. To your point, I saw a Major who was standing by a decision she’s not happy with, but to borrow robert’s words in the post before yours, she was/is “dancing to the realities on the ground.”
Last spitball: I suspect that Gabbard’s anticipating the Democratic Party’s imminent collapse, at least as it currently stands, and has plans to step into the rubble and be instrumental in its reconstruction/reformation.
Thanks for the reply.
