Tulsi Gabbard attacks the DNC

22. "I'm amazed at how far many have gone to negate her, but she has not helped herself either"

This.

I too am taken aback by the appetite to devour her by some. By many. Simply for wanting to reign in the MIC, especially if that position is not a comfortable one with the establishment who are made up of those that voted for the Iraq War, the attack on Libya and Syria. And who have campaign relationships with those in the MIC. Also I'm confused why so many purportedly peace lovers, are against talking to dictators first, instead of shoot first.

I really liked her at first. I loved her courage to speak truth to power....in both parties. But I do think there is some of that "folly of youth" in underestimating the backlash of the "moderate" crowd who by now, along with every Democrat, are operating on edge, and have only so much of an appetite for hearing more criticisms, after these years of GOP attacks. No matter how warranted.

Like Washington veterans Sanders and Warren have learned. You pick your battles. And if you must criticize, you also find good points to balance that. Also, I find Warren and Sanders are better at criticizing only the standing policies, and steer away from getting too personal. Its partly inexperience IMO.

I do think if Trump wins ( I know, we shan't even think it) She is positioning herself better for 2024. Especially if its an establishment candidate, like Biden, who loses. And maybe that is her long game?
