I don't like Gabbard's policy statements and I don't like her long history of extreme homophobia. I'm strongly opposed to her candidacy.

I'm sure that she's a competent member of the military. So are many others. It doesn't make them qualified to be president.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Could be a foreshadowing of a permanent suspension of her campaign. brush Aug 2019 #8

unlikely, she is in it for a reason which has nothing to do with actually winning the nomination JI7 Aug 2019 #12

All this because of the Assad trip? ucrdem Aug 2019 #14
