From former Democratic Party Congresswoman and Presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard:
Tulsi Gabbard switch shoots holes in the Democratic Party
With the midterm elections just around the corner ,here are some thoughts on what’s at stake regarding the Democratic Party side of the ballot:
NUCLEAR WAR: The pro-war Democratic Party of today has led us to the brink of nuclear war. President Joe Biden and Democratic party elites have pushed us to the precipice of nuclear war.
RULE OF LAW: Today’s Democratic Party rejects the rule of law. The people’s trust, our trust in the rule of law, is the foundation of our democracy. By weaponizing the security state and federal law enforcement for their own partisan political ambitions, Democrat leaders are undermining the rule of law and turning our democracy into a banana republic. When the party in power does not believe in the rule of law that they’re responsible for writing and enforcing laws, our democracy is doomed.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH: Today’s Democratic Party does not believe in our constitutionally protected right to free speech. Fostering diversity of thought and freedom of expression is the very foundation of any flourishing democracy. Democratic Party leaders don’t agree.
They are led by fanatical ideologues who pose a threat to our democracy because they don’t believe in freedom. And they are working hand in glove with corporate for-profit media and Big Tech to smear and silence political opponents and anyone who dares to challenge their authority.
RACISM: Today’s Democratic Party racializes everything and blatantly foments anti-white racism. The Democratic machine has betrayed Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream — his dream of a nation where we are judged based on the content of our character rather than the color of our skin.
And in their blind pursuit of power, Democratic leaders have reduced each of us as God’s children to the color of our skin. Using identity politics tears us apart, all so they can win a few votes, all so they can gain more political power.
ANTI-WOMAN: Today’s Democratic Party is anti-woman.
There’s no greater expression of hatred and hostility toward women than to erase the existence of women as a category of people.
They can no longer even define what a woman is, and they’re demanding that we replace words like mother with “birthing person” and place women at risk just to please biological men who claim to be women at any given moment. By denying that there are biological differences between men and women, they’re erasing women and denying the existence of objective truth. This is really the bigger issue here, because if one denies the existence of truth, then there are no boundaries, there are no limits in our society. And really what happens then is the truth becomes whatever those in power want it to be.
FAMILY: Today’s Democratic Party is undermining families. Families are the bedrock of civilization. Today’s Democratic Party does not recognize this truth and the importance of this central foundational role that families play in our society and civilization. And because they don’t recognize this truth, they want to strip away the rights of parents to raise their kids, claiming, “Hey, we in the government know what’s better for you and your children and your family better than you do.”
And, there’s more:
“I believe in a government that is of the people by the people and for the people. Unfortunately, today’s Democratic Party does not. Instead, they stand for a government of, by, and for the powerful elite … So today I’m calling on my fellow common-sense independent-minded Democrats to join me in taking action, join me in leaving the Democratic Party.
“If you can no longer stomach the direction that this so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking this country, I invite you to join me.”
Wait until she takes a closer look at the Republicans.
Another uniparty swamp rat just seeking attention.
The truth about Tulsi G. leaving(?) the DEMOCRAT party is that she is starting her own talk show,
what perfect timing.
Mark Dice has all the details here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11AohP_LptI
At any rare she is NOT to be trusted.
Nuclear War?
So is the Union of Nothing Better To Do Scientists going to update their Doomsday Clock?
Or do they have to check in with their Climate Doomsday pals first.
Constantly on RT, Tucker Carlson, speaks against the US military industrial complex, hated by Democrats, hated by trans people, constantly called a fascist apologist, one of the only Democrats to not vote for Trump’s impeachment, single handedly destroyed Kamala Harris’s presidential run, distrusted by GOP for being too socially liberal, not even in Congress anymore.
“another uniparty swamp rat”
Tulsi might be *the* most idiosyncratic politicians and is one of the most hated by the “uniparty” of recent history but you think she’s a “uniparty swamp rat” lol ok
Funny thing is people are boo hooing about her stances on abortion and healthcare but she is telling Democrats to leave the party, she is on popular national shows, and she is on the ground in the battleground state New Hampshire telling people to vote for Don Bolduc (Republican) against an incumbent Democrat.
Tulsi may not be a conservative, but she is doing more to get people away from the Democratic Party than any loser reading or writing on this blog. Guaranteed.
The only “problem” I have is in understanding who she is.
While a contrarian generally, there’s no seeming rationale or consistency in her positions and pronouncements, month to month, or year to year.
She is a Democrat who values free speech and is anti-war, she’s slightly more moderate on cultural issues, and she believes in a high amount of domestic spending.
I don’t think her worldview is enigmatic or contrarian.
Someone with her beliefs probably could have done quite well in a Democratic primary in 2008 and would have fit in fine.
It’s the Democrats who have changed so much becoming CIA stooges and hating free speech.
It’s their worldview that is hard to figure out.
It seems to be buttsex hegemony at the barrel of a gun.
Tulsi can smell the coming destruction of the Democrat Party and a new “Unity Party” with Rinos like Liz Cheney in 2024.
Republicans need converts but somebody who was for socialist Bernie Sanders in 2016 is a little late to the party. But if she continues to campaign for decent Republicans like General Bolduc, she might be doing more than trying for a new media career.
^ Tulsi has been a gadfly to Dems for years though. Even before the announcement, she had warmer receptions in Republican circles than in Democratic circles due to her regular appearances on Fox and badmouthing Democrats more than Republicans. The same could be said of Jimmy Dore, Glenn Greenwald, and perhaps even Bill Maher and Matt Taibi. She has even been the guest host for Tucker Carlson.
As for Bernie Sanders, Trump directly appealed to Bernie voters and quite a few Bernie voters DID support Trump.
Elections are a numbers game.
A Democrat who votes Republican is a two vote swing and a Democrat who doesn’t vote Democrat is still a one vote swing.
Either way, it’s good for Republicans. Bolduc obviously has no objection to her stumping for him.

Kanye West’s views don’t align with Republicans on everything either, but if he gets people to stop voting Democrat that’s good for Republicans.
I will NEVER complain about people walking away from the Democratic Party!
I don’t care if they are a communist!
I welcome her abandoning the now-far-Left Democrat party.
Any Democrat, whether in office, campaigning or a simple voter should be looking at where the Left is taking America.
Biden, Hillary and others on the Left talk about far-Right “extremists.”
What they’re really talking about is anyone who hasn’t followed the Left as they’ve dragged the political landscape off the Left side of a cliff.
Any honest liberal (as opposed to a Leftist) would abandon the Democrat party today. Of course, Republicans have problems, too.
How many Republicans have continued to “compromise” with Democrats while ignoring that the playing field is utterly changed and that they compromises are no longer examples of moderation.
There is a time to stand firm and, when the Left decides the time to strike is now, that’s the time to take a stand.
Rich the problem with Republicans is the leadership in the house and senate.
Get rid of the left coast McCarthy and old crow CCP beholden McConnell when we take back both chambers.
That’s the first step.
Unfortunately Salvi will vote for the old crow as a freshman senator if she wins.
And Correcting I’ll refer you to Abe’s comment on the uniparty swamp rat.
Appearing on Fox News which is the new CNN proves my point.
She’s a proabort and voted for every gun grabbing bill put before her.
The first Hindu in Congress!

She appears on Fox News to speak against funding weapons in Ukraine.
Use your brain before you toss out the buzzwords like “uniparty swamp rat.”
Someone who is hated by the leadership of both parties and who is called a fascist apologist is not a “uniparty swamp rat.”
She goes on Fox News to criticize “neoconservatives.”
