I'm cool with everyone from communists & far-left anarchists to soc-dems. But I'm not cool with "leftists" who flirt with right-wing talking points or put anti-establishment contrarianism over principled egalitarianism. A lot of Tulsi ppl flirt w/ that shit too much for my liking
So many big Tulsi accounts have drifted rightward. And I think part of why that happened is the main vibe of the Tulsi world is "we will fight the establishment cuz we hate 'em" rather than loving the multiracial working class.
I do legitimately respect some of the stands Tulsi has made on foreign policy. But she has also promoted rightwing bills & talking pts, and when confronted her fans are like "YOU CAN'T STAND SHE TAKES ON THE DEM ESTABLISHMENT!!"
But then, like, she promotes rightwing election conspiracies against Ilhan Omar, votes for anti-immigrant legislation, drafts transphobic legislation, & has ties to assholes like Modi. All to the right of the Democratic Party. She's an incoherent mess.
