I'm sick of being told that I don't like Tulsi because she supported Bernie.

30. Another party purity test

And how has this kind of strategy worked for us so far?

There were very good proven reasons to distrust the DNC and Devious Debbie and her dismal record of re-electing Democrats. I'm not going to rehash all that.

And the Democrats have also been caught up in PC hand-wringing for too long about the threat of terrorism and linking it to a specific religion. A religion that teaches its followers that its ok to kill non-believers. A whopping 60% of those in moderate Muslim countries believe that the death penalty is perfectly fine for that "crime". Religion is a festering sore on society, and the Islamic religion is the most insidiously dangerous of the lot because it is set up as the perfect base to build a radical violent opposition to liberalism around the world. I'm with Bill Maher on this. Of course the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful and don't want trouble. And of course Trump is going way too far the other way with an outright ban. But Democrats have disregarded the angst in society about Islamic religion influenced radicals, whether it is overblown or not.

Obama made a mistake in Syria. He's a nice guy and just wanted to avoid conflict. (As was his tactic too often with the hostile GOP houses as well.) He withdrew and Russia stepped into the void and now has the greater influence and power. Hillary Clinton criticized Obama for his refusal to implement a no-fly zone in Syria. I'm sure Hillary and Tulsi would agree on a lot of things in that area.

And an assault weapons ban? Sure we'd love to see that again, but one has to pick ones battles at the right time.

She is a progressive on the issues that matter such as SS, civil rights, and the economy :

This kind of self-immolation nit picking will get us nowhere.
