This current version of a Progressive Socialist Democrat Party is self-destructive.
Tulsi Gabbard is more classic Liberal. She doesn't fit in with the rest of them.
That is why I am at least willing to listen to her ideas. Might not agree with them but I will hear her out.
As Tricks noted, she is not a 'Classic liberal' - Gabbard endorsed Sanders in 2016...and her platform is sqaurely onside with most other Democrats (green economy, universal healthcare, environmental protection, pro-choice, etc.).
https://www.tulsi2020.com/issuesFWIW, I've long thought she would be a great President (smart, veteran, woman, visible minority, etc), but that's exactly why she won't win the Democratic ticket - too many Dems want someone farther left than her. And her acts of rebellion (like this vote) have not endeared her to the old gaurd either.
