Just Saw an Interview...

Tulsi is apparently very concerned about some of Trump's potential cabinet picks. Because they supposedly go against the "ideals" that Trump espoused in his election run.
But she apparently missed all the other times he has lied and how he practiced cronieism in his first term and didn't really drain the swamp but added his own people to it. Doesn't seem like he has any actual ideals and just tells the audience what they want to hear.
Guess that's what you get when you abandon your principles and join the other side. Instead of ya know sticking to your guns and gritting your teeth and pushing back when it becomes hardest to actually stand by your ideals.
Tulsi turning Republican is not something to be applauded. They are going to screw her over worse than the Democrats ever could and make her look like a fool. She's just a useful idiot to them. Did anyone honestly thinking would go any other way?
Mookhaz@reddit
Tulsi had a grudge against democrats, I get it they really did screw her over. Instead of being a rational person she jumped in bed with the billionaires and grifters she campaigned against her whole career. oops.
n1wm@reddit
Oops? You’re saying she made a mistake? By leaving the party that had her labeled a Russian asset? And joining the party that made her head of national intelligence? Oops indeed! Just… wow…
The cope going on right now is hardcore, so help me I have work to do but I can’t take my eyes off the carnage…
MaximusGrandimus@reddit (OP)
I know like she really thought this was going to any different? She had a seat at the table in the DNC and wanted to do the right thing by not appearing to have a conflict of interest when she supported Sanders... horrible tactical error.
teecuedee@reddit
The DNC anointed Kamala as the nominee without any primary votes. I don't think she made an error at all.
MaximusGrandimus@reddit (OP)
Kamala was placed using Biden's primary votes where she was on the ticket. But Tulsi switching sides occurred in 2022 and she stepped down from her seat at the DNC in 2016 so none of what you just said has any bearing on those things since they happened before this election cycle.
Got any other stunning insights?
teecuedee@reddit
"Stunning insights"? None other than that it's clear y'all still don't understand why Kamala lost & may never understand.
MaximusGrandimus@reddit (OP)
You obviously don't recognize sarcasm lol
Heavyspire@reddit
That is the best part. We all know that even if it is a D or an R attached to the name, they are beholden to the Elite class. She talks like she understands it better than us since she has seen behind the curtain. But all her choices make me wonder what lesson she actually learned?
MaximusGrandimus@reddit (OP)
I honestly think she is either 1) going where the winds blow or 2) just following orders and this is some sort of massive chess game where the pawns just keep switching sides.
teecuedee@reddit
Democrats screwed over their own voters by throwing out the primary process.
MaximusGrandimus@reddit (OP)
I mean yeah the Dems treated her shitty. I get it. But she was VP of the DNC and actually had a seat where she had at least a modicum of power. She gave that up because what didn't want to appear to have a conflict of interest when she supported Sanders? It was a fucking idiotic move, a critical tactical error. She gave up any possibility of ensuring Sanders as a candidate and allowed the Clinton/neolib side to run rough shod and take over the DNC.
Then she turned to the other side and was surprised the leopards there ate her face too.
teecuedee@reddit
She left the DNC because the chair of the DNC was rigging the process for Clinton. There was never a possibility of Sanders winning the candidacy if Tulsi had remained (i.e. condoned the rigged process).
MaximusGrandimus@reddit (OP)
Ah so in the face of that going to a party which shares none of her principles or ideals was the only option...
/s
teecuedee@reddit
True or false: the Republican tent (a.k.a the Overton window) is bigger than the Democrat tent.
Mookhaz@reddit
I was there while everything went down in real time. I campaigned for tulsi, even. She took a calculated risk on the false dichotomy of our binary political system and it is only the start of a spectacular backfire. And now she will never have a chance to be the charismatic darling democrats desperately need next go round, if it ever happens.
teecuedee@reddit
I'm taking about 2024 primaries, but I guess 2016 primaries helps prove my point as well.
MaximusGrandimus@reddit (OP)
She made a severe and critical tactical error when she stepped down from her seat at the DNC. Conflict of interest be damned she should have supported Sanders and kept her seat. Because she knew the Clinton's were going to do what they could to get her through and then the courts basically said there was primary tampering in 2016 but oh well DNC is a private company so no harm no foul.
Massive, massive blunder.
Abi_giggles@reddit
The dems labeled her a “Russian asset” that’s being “groomed” by Putin and they put her on the terrorist watch list out of spite. So please give me a call when the republicans do worse things to her because right now she’s being embraced and uplifted as a strong, intelligent woman of color in their party. She should have been the democrat darling but she had the nerve to not fall in line.
MaximusGrandimus@reddit (OP)
It was specifically Clinton and of course one is representative of the entire group...
Abi_giggles@reddit
Clinton originally said it, yes, but the dems and liberal media labeled her as that and still are. You know this.
PlayerofVideoGames@reddit
Im sorry I didnt bother to read past the 2nd paragraph.
Tulsi tried EVERYTHING to get the democrats on the right track and they disowned her and never even let up on the attacks after her last run. So if she wanted to stay in politics she had no choice but to join the Republicans.
MaximusGrandimus@reddit (OP)
She was VP of the DNC and stepped down to support Sanders when she knew that others in the DNC wouldn't be so scrupulous in their support of Clinton. She had a seat at the table and gave it up.
Then she abandons all principles and goes to the other side. Because Republicans have always been so trustworthy. Now she's afraid leopards will eat her face.
She fucked around and found out afaic
Abi_giggles@reddit
Yeah, she fucked around and found out she’s going to be the Director of National Intelligence 😃
PlayerofVideoGames@reddit
The moment she stood up for Bernie she’s been called a Russian spy. They tore her seat away from the table for standing on her principles. To what loyalty would she have towards the Democrat party after that? That’s why they lost this last election. They feel entitled to votes, entitled to loyalty, entitled to everything.
MaximusGrandimus@reddit (OP)
They didn't tear her seat away she resigned, and did so before she put in her Sanders endorsement.
Keep up, Junior.
PlayerofVideoGames@reddit
Im speaking symbolically. By them spreading misinfo that she is a Russian asset after the fact is them tearing her set away to signal to her she is no longer welcome in the party.
I no longer care to have this conversation because one of the cringiest things people can do on reddit is try use low level namecalling as an insult when thats not even the vibe of the convo. If you've stopped to that chilidishness I
sayzitlikeitis@reddit
I said so just 3 days ago when everyone was expecting her to become SecState. Tulsi's only criticizing Donald now because she didn't get anything. If she had been given a position, she would've sold out happily and not said a word. This is what she does. Beats that drum about the cost of war and then endorses hawkish Republicans. All she is good at is knowing which bandwagon to climb on.
Abi_giggles@reddit
Turns out she got something. Also she’s never been afraid to criticize the people in power within her own party and the dems didn’t like that. I think her being critical is a good thing. She doesn’t just fall in line. We need more of that
MaximusGrandimus@reddit (OP)
And also insists that Republicans aren't the warmongers when they started Iraq and Afghanistan and just because the opportunity didn't arise under Trump. But Biden had 2 major situations develop - i.e. Russia invaded Ukraine (no control over that) and another Palestine-Israeli war, and he has done everything to keep from committing American forces on the ground but yet people paint him as the hawkish president.
We are so fucked.
brainomancer@reddit
Sure it is. It was clear that she had no political future in the Democrat party. They care more about getting revenge against her and Bernie Sanders than they do about winning elections. Tulsi had the good sense to get off a sinking ship.
Actually they made her Director of National Intelligence.
sundubone@reddit
"apparently"
Where can I get this "apparently" concern video of her stating this?
Ali_cia_1203@reddit
I have no idea I looked it up and can’t find anything
sundubone@reddit
Weird how OP can't provide this...
"Just Saw an Interview.."
