Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumMy expectation is that Gabbard
will run for president as Republican in four years. She has left her congressional post, and the cult leader who persuaded her to run as a Democrat did so because he believed that she could not win a congressional seat as Republican. However, the cult and Gabbard have beliefs that put them in line with Republicans.
We won't know until 2024.
But she will not be the nominee for the Democrats this year, and she has announced that she is leaving her congressional seat.

(1,399 posts)They are giving her false flattery at Fox, the Republicans would tear her to shreds. Among her sins, which are posted plainly on her website:
Favors legalization of marijuana
Member of the House LGBTQ+ Equality Caucus
Member of the Medicare for All Caucus
Supports DACA
I could go on but I think you get the picture, even the slightest hint of sympathy on any of these issues is an automatic death penalty in a Republican primary.

Her votes tend to be okay. Every person working in her office is a member of the science of identity cult.

(102,292 posts)unquestionably defend her and vehemently go after all who share their common concerns about her. I wish the evidence was not mounting that fuels our concerns, but it is and she does nothing to assuage those doubts, but rather the opposite. It is sad to me because she is a skillful communicator and has many positives upon which to build her campaign but...
It is hard not to feel like there is not a manipulation campaign vis-a-vis Gabbard going on.

(43,409 posts)style leftist. All the 'Tulsi as a Rethug' comments have made me LOL for months. The only reason she is being used and pushed by them and/or the Russians is that she bashes the Democratic Party. In terms of policy, she is pretty much bog standard leftist (on the American scale), with a few exceptions. She could easily top the Green Party ticket, never the Rethugs.

I don't know about the cult, but for Gabbard, look at her votes:
https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/congress-trump-score/tulsi-gabbard/
and at her positions:
https://www.tulsigabbard.org/
Quite left overall, nowhere near a Republican or even blue dog platform.

(1,474 posts)asked her to switch to Democratic because it was clear to Butler and her father that she would never be able to win a congressional seat as a Republican in that district?
Or are you simply asserting that you do not know about the science of identity cult?
if it's the second point, I agree with you. You appear not to know about the cult.

(11,990 posts)...do not at all align with a Republican candidacy. You'd have a better argument about her switching and running as a Republican in 2024 if at least she were one of the more right-leaning Dems rather than one of the more left-leaning. Butler/SoI are irrelevant to that point.

(1,474 posts)instructed her to switch parties and to act differently. I get that. Many people do not know this.
Many people do not know who Chris Butler is. Many people do not know anything about the science of identity cult.

(11,990 posts)Her association with Chris Butler/SoI is not something that is going to convince the Republican party to ignore virtually every position she has taken and every vote she has cast for the past 8 years. It would be like Rand Paul running as a Democrat in 2024. I don't see it happening.
