What the flying fuck is up with all of you Tulsi worshippers? Seriously, what the fuck? You see a Democrat who hasn't gone full Mussolini and you think she just walks on water? Do a bit of fucking research on her before you... you know what, no, fuck this. It's time. THREAD TIME.
2) ITS TIME FOR BETTER KNOW A DEMOCRAT.
TULSI 'I'm the furthest thing from a communist that can get elected in Hawaii' GABBARD
She's a PLAGIARIZER.

Still haven't gotten credit for when she drew POINT FOR POINT from my Kamala Harris takedown thread.

3) Second off, she's incoherent in her positions, as demonstrated by multiple people including @COsweda MULTIPLE GODDAMN TIMES.

4) Third off, she's not even that moderate. She's endorsed the Democrat talking point of healthcare for all with the typical glossing over of how that would be implemented or the actual cost of such an endeavor.
https://www.tulsi2020.com/record/healthcare-all
ITS ON HER FUCKING WEBSITE FFS.

5) And foreign policy?
2017 she attacks Trump for the missile strikes against Assad when they used chemical weapons.
"It angers and saddens me that President Trump has taken the advice of war hawks and escalated our illegal regime change war to overthrow the Syrian government."

6) https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpost/wp/2017/04/11/what-is-tulsi-gabbard-thinking-on-syria/
"This escalation is short-sighted and will lead to more dead civilians, more refugees, the strengthening of al-Qaeda and other terrorists, and a possible nuclear war between the United States and Russia."
A NUCLEAR WAR!!!! BE AFRAAAIIIIDDDD!!!!

7) You must think she's SOOOO DIFFERENT for saying THE EXACT SAME SHIT AS EVERYONE ELSE WHO ATTACKED TRUMP FOR FIRING MISSILES INTO SYRIA.
And she's a fucking idiot. A nuclear war with Russia? RUSSIA CANT EVEN KEEP THEIR FUCKING MISSILES FROM EXPLODING IN THEIR SILOS.

8) Or did everyone forget THIS SHIT happened? https://www.businessinsider.com/russian-missile-disaster-shows-signs-nuke-reactor-blew-up-experts-2019-8
9) Or, how about how everyone fucking forgot how she's got Bernie Sanders, the AFL-CIO, Planned Parenthood, and dipshits at the Sierra Club endorsing her? Or how she was called a 'progressive darling' A FUCKING YEAR AGO. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/aug/10/tulsi-gabbard-how-a-progressive-rising-star-is-a-paradox-for-the-left
10) Yeah, when I called her the furthest thing from a communist that could win in Hawaii, I was being fucking sarcastic, and a preemptive fuck you to everyone who says 'ewwww i don't like your swearing.' ITS THE POWER OF FUCKING BOURBON, AINT NO PRISONERS TAKEN THIS DAY.
11) Suuuuure, she's cute, so's AOC in that 'barista who will splash scalding coffee into your face if you assume her gender' kinda way. Sure, she's 'a maverick' and 'not toeing the party line'.
THAT'S PART OF THE FUCKING ILLUSION YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.
Here, here let me explain it

12) She runs as a socialist in all but name in Hawaii. Because Hawaii is the LITERAL DEFINITION of not-in-my-backyard progressivism, or did you forget which piece of shit judge keeps blocking all of Trump's decisions with nationwide injunctions?
13) Then, she applies THICC layers of obfuscation to her record in order to confuse people as to her actual fucking stances

14) Yes, that's two links, yes they're within 8 days of each other (22nd and 30th May, 2014.)
15) She's so maverick, SHE VOTED WITH EVERY OTHER DEMOCRAT AGAINST THE TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT.
She's so maverick SHE SUPPORTS THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL.
https://www.tulsigabbard.org/tulsi-gabbard-on-iran
How exactly is she a moderate again?

16) Oh, oh, WHAT WAS HER RESPONSE TO THE IRAN ATTACK ON SAUDIS OIL FIELDS?
Re-enter the nuclear deal and end sanctions on Iran! IE CAVING FUCKING COMPLETELY!
https://www.foxnews.com/media/tulsi-gabbard-saudi-arabia-iran-nuclear-deal
Foreign policy wise, she isn't a grown up, SHE'S A FUCKING IDIOT.

17) oooh, oooh, what did she say about the Iran Deal when she voted for it in 2015?
"Nothing in this agreement limits our ability to enact sanctions, nor does it take the military option off the table."
EXCEPT IT DOES. Swift sanctions were removed! https://gabbard.house.gov/news/press-releases/rep-tulsi-gabbard-votes-support-iran-deal-over-alternatives

18) "The Iranian regime and the people of Iran need to know that if their government tries to produce a nuclear weapon, they will be hit with the full military might of the United States and the international community." Oooooh, tough talk 2015 Gabbard. What about now?
19) Ah, that's right, sending troops to Saudi Arabia "will lead us to an all-out inferno of a war in not only Iran, but across the region."
HEY, quick question, wouldn't Iran attacking their neighbors be a VIOLATION of the nuclear deal?

20) Oh, that's right, she doesn't like Saudi Arabia. https://twitter.com/tulsigabbard/status/1173434704302751744
21) And she likened Trump's foreign policy to pimping out our soldiers. https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/1173723701373591552?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1173723701373591552&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.washingtonexaminer.com%2Fnews%2Fyou-are-not-our-pimp-tulsi-gabbard-accuses-trump-of-placing-us-troops-under-command-of-islamist-dictator
22) But GOD FORBID Trump withdraw our troops from Syria!
https://thehill.com/hilltv/rising/465431-gabbard-rips-trumps-syria-decision-kurds-are-now-paying-the-price
What part of 'SHE'S INCONSISTENT AND CRAZY' do you people not get?!

23) 'But she didn't like the New Green Deal!' you might say, as if opposing calling a crayon drawing on a napkin a bill is something to be lauded.
No, she's as crazy as any other Dem about the environment. It just doesn't get covered. https://www.tulsigabbard.org/tulsi-gabbard-on-climate-change

24) "The OFF Act transitions the U.S. to 100% clean and renewable energy by 2035 and includes provisions to stimulate the economy and transition workers to jobs in the renewable energy sector"
100% renewables in 15 years everybody! LIKE WE HAVENT HEARD THAT SHIT BEFORE.
100% renewables in 15 years everybody! LIKE WE HAVENT HEARD THAT SHIT BEFORE.
25) See, Green New Deal was 10 years.
APPARENTLY, a 5 year difference in how long it takes for a pie in the sky plan to hit 100% clean and renewable energy is all it takes to make a Democrat a moderate! WHO FUCKING KNEW?!?

26) Oh, that's right, there's an 80% interim benchmark in just 8 YEARS. My bad. That sounds SO MUCH MORE FUCKING REASONABLE. https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/959545708683694080
27) And yeah, all that progress Trump made bringing back coal? She'd erase that in a heartbeat if she could. https://twitter.com/tulsigabbard/status/1083772167806951425
28) How is she moderate again? How is she a maverick?
BECAUSE SHE LOOKS AND SOUNDS AND ACTS EXACTLY LIKE A DEMOCRAT.
Seriously, she's batshit, and APPARENTLY the rest of the Dems are SO BATSHIT NO ONE ELSE REALIZES THAT SHE'S BATSHIT!

29) You know what, no, I haven't convinced you all yet.
Tulsi on minimum wage? Look at that, she's one of the 'fight for $15' people!
HOW IS SHE CONSIDERED MODERATE?!

34) Let's slow it down. She only wants universal healthcare right? Not medicare for all?
NOPE. CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE.
APPARENTLY, the Democrats have gone SO FAR TO THE FUCKING LEFT, being willing to negotiate down from Medicare for All is now considered 'moderate' FFS.

35) She's a veteran though. Here we go. This is where she can find some common ground with us about having a strong militar-
GOD. FUCKING. DAMNIT.
GOD. FUCKING. DAMNIT.
36) I give up. Literally less than a half hour of looking at her voting record, looking at her current stances, looking at how her stances flail wildly over the course of 4 years, she looks like a crazy person who's full socialist in all but name.
In other words, a Democrat.
In other words, a Democrat.
37) Her 'unorthodoxy'? Her 'maverick' status? SHE FUCKING HEDGES. THATS IT. Democrats only hate her because she breaks with them and her break is her FUCKING HEDGING. But because she's the ONLY one who hedges from extremist stances, SHE TRICKED YOU INTO THINKING SHE WAS MODERATE.
38) Tulsi's just as bad as the rest of the Dem candidates and politicians, if not WORSE, because there exist swing voters dumb enough to fall for her hedging.
These are the same people who did the shocked pikachu when Obama did the ACA and the Cash for Clunkers disasters.
