General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: I'm sick of being told that I don't like Tulsi because she supported Bernie. [View all]LiberalLovinLug
(14,690 posts)so since you obvously did not go to the link of her positions, here it is. She may not tick off ALL the progressive boxes, but I'd say most are covered. Certainly compared to any of the GOP and more than a few Democrats. It very much seems like thou dost protest a wee bit to much on someone who coincidentally happened to support the candidate you not only opposed by seemingly despised.
I could list a number of Blue Dog DINOs that were clear Hillary supporters whose progressive credentials pale in comparison to Tulsi's. I wonder why you don't pick on them?
