Me too honestly

I will use the term "berniebro" myself sometimes (I'm takin' it back) but it's a bad term which was coined to push a false agenda

Primary's over, though, so we can just settle on "leftist" thanks

Sure, Hillary Rodham Clinton might have had the undying support of literal murderer and war criminal Henry Kissinger and often vocally expressed her admiration of him, but remember that Tulsi Gabbard is a war hawk in the middle east

Kissinger's world view is much more in line with Trumps than Clinton. See both of their stances RE: Russia. Clinton would have doubled down on sanctions and US involvement in Syria, whereas Trump/Kissinger want to build a world order based on regional hegemony.

But yes Clinton is Kissinger's gently caress buddy and took weird holidays where they laughed about bombing civilians (I'M GUESSING)

I will never understand how stuff like "Gabbard wants to literally eliminate the Muslim race" somehow becomes an accepted and entrenched fact. The only evidence is that she was insufficiently antagonistic towards another world leader, and refused to spit in Trump's face, so now she's Girl Hitler.

While I agree the genocide accusations are wildly overblown, she has flogged the "why won't anyone call it ~*Radical Islamic Terrorism*~?!" thing a number of times, and ridiculed the idea that economic and social disruption/disenfranchisement feed into extremist movements (with the heavy subtext that it's just because they're bad people following an evil religion). The woman is no fan of Muslims.

Yeah that's pretty weak evidence for her supporting Muslim Genocide. She refuses to condemn a foreign political part during their election season. Oh no. She says it's because she doesn't want to interfere in foreign elections, but maybe it's because she doesn't want to offend the Indian ex-pat community that she gets support from? Oh no! :ohdear:

you know she invited him and poo poo right? Like she could have just not invited the crazy nationalist who overlooks/supports violence against muslims when he was governor and all. She could have just ignored him and pretended India didn't make a crazy hard nationalist shift like everyone else did.

Yeah. I don't think being opposed to Islamic Extremism or saying it's motivated by more than just economic insecurity is bad. The rest is just saying the BJP is bad, and she refuses to condemn them and attended one fund raiser they held. That is not the smoking gun proving Gabbard is a slavering Muslim murderer that you think it is.

it is possible to think that gabbard is the regular amount of lovely towards muslims and that she should've turned down trump's offer and just not like her without going farther than that

Tulsi gabbard has bad opinions on Muslims and Islam but those do not include advocating in any way for the mass murder of its adherents, so please do not say that she wants to genocide Muslims because it makes you look like a hysterical moron. thanks

e: also, she should have invited trump to her office and left a whoopee cushion on his chair and filmed it

yea you caught us, everyone who just ignored what famous retard Fits My Needs said secretly agrees.

Tulsi Gabbard probably is not pro literal genocide of the Muslim people. She is, however, extremely right wing wrt to 'the war on terror' and proudly supports an incredibly violent and bigoted nationalist faction when she had absolutely no need to other than a genuine support of their agenda.

She's weird because she's virulently opposed to Islam but also regularly speaks out against interventionism.

The guy you were arguing with was clearly objecting to the genocide point in particular :shrug:

I'm not gonna argue that she's particularly right-wing w/r/t the Mideast though and, as I've said, I am remorseful of having said nice things about her
