Tulsi Gabbard has proved she is ready for America. Is America ready for her?

[PJL]

" Since announcing her bid for the Democratic Party nomination in 2020, Tulsi Gabbard has been on a one-woman quest to confront America with reality. In speech after speech, interview after interview, and in social media post after social media post, the Democratic Party congresswoman from Hawaii has served up a merciless indictment of US militarism, making the elementary point that Washington’s obscenely inflated defense budget and its addiction to regime change wars, military interventions and the subversion of sovereign governments in pursuit of the full spectrum dominance that lies at the heart of the malignant creeds of neoconservatism and liberal interventionism, is harming rather than protecting the interests of the American people. The harm is measured in an ‘official’ poverty rate of 12.3 percent, in other words 39.7 million people. It is measured in a homelessness crisis of indictable proportion, affecting over 500,000 people. And it is measured in the fact that as one of the richest countries in the world, tens of millions of its citizens are without healthcare. The money and resources that could be used to alleviate the aforementioned and other crises engulfing America is instead being thrown into the black hole of a military-industrial complex that sustains over 800 officially recognized US military bases in over 70 countries around the world with the objective of making the world safe not for democracy but for US and Western corporations to exploit the world’s natural and human resources in the interests of the country’s economic elite......https://www.rt.com/op-ed/458503-tuls...henry-wallace/

I gotta admit I like her. I need to find out more about her domestic policy and of course how she might plan to oversee a balanced budget , which we haven't seen in what 18 years? But I like her and the fact that ron Paul supports her as well.

I know , nobody will balance a budget anytime soon. why? Because right now both supposed "sides" can have most of what they want, including lined pockets and the people vote for them anyway!

Yep, it's near impossible to have a balanced budget and definitely impossible to stop our national debt

Not impossible altogether, but impossible if we don't start voting for other parties at the congressional level

[donttread]

The path of the third parties is really local, state and congress. We seem to debate about presidential candidates but lets face it they could be Jesus and the people wouldn't vote for them if they didn't wear an "R" or a "D" on their chest.
That's largely what's wrong with america and also why the Rand Pauls, Donald trumps , Bernie Sanders and OC's of the world have to get the "R" or "D" badge one way or another.
However even a congress with 10% third parties could break silly partison ties and filibusters on the side of both the people and common sense. Then the remaining dems and repubs would know that they would have to work together and do their jobs or not only would they personally lose their seat, but the party would lose the seat because of them. Some people would be stunned at the points of agreement the unbought can come to , even Greens and Libertarians for example.

[Ransom]

Yes of course. These political parties like Green or labor or libertarian cannot even get elected but......yeah...they'd bring all this solution and reason to the table, they'd balance our budget, they'd solve all the 'problems.'

Pipe dreamers sure are cute.
