welshbairn Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 3 hours ago, Zetterlund said: She was the DNC's golden girl until she started dropping truth bombs about US foreign policy and took an open anti-war stance. She was more nuanced than that, was against putting American lives at risk but backed drone attacks and bombing from 30 thousand feet, unless it was against her pal Assad. And she started off in political life on an anti gay platform in Hawaii. Trump was a fan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than age I don't see why anyone ostensibly on the left backed Gabbard over Sanders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 1 hour ago, Dolf said: She was never the golden girl of the DNCs Well, Nancy Pelosi invited her to speak at the Dem convention in 2012 calling her an 'emerging star', and a few months later she had been elected to congress and as vice-chair of the DNC. She was the Dems' dream, a young, great-looking, woman of colour, military veteran surfer. Until she started criticising the establishment figures in the party like DWS and HRC. More nuanced maybe @welshbairn but sufficient for a short post. She was in the military after all so presumably isn't against all aspects. Anti-interventionist war probably more accurate. But explicitly stating the US is arming and funding terrorism is definitely disqualifying for a presidential candidate, which was my main point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDoddyKane Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I thought she was good and I hope she gets another chance. I really liked Bernie too but lets face it Bernie was never gonna get the nomination in a “rigged race” as Gabbard herself said. So all that effort for Betnie in the end achieved very little and you didnt need much to call that. Clinton calling her a russian agent was bizzarre but the dem machine once it decides it deosnt like you goes all out against like it did to Bernie she would make a good president i think 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This applies in many countries but particularly in the US, the two-party system has everyone absolutely brainwashed. Working class Democrat voters believe they have more in common with billionaire Democrat voters than they do with working class Republicans. A candidate with cross-party appeal would be a great thing for the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soapy FFC Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 It's quite ironic that at a time the West is worrying about what the impact of the Taliban will be on women's rights in Afghanistan, Texas has just enacted new abortion laws. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-58406496 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
