Americans have literally fought and died

[SCantiGOP]

for the right to vote, so I am certainly not questioning anyone's right to choose whom they will support, but......................

how is Tulsi still getting 1% in the DU poll after the event of the past few weeks?
I never see anyone posting in her defense here, and I can't imagine how a Democratic enthusiast could support her or her platform.

Any ideas?

1. I was just wondering the same thing!

2. Maybe DU trolls are lurking here, or perhaps some are

just into Tulsi.

4. I would guess your first answer

is the most likely to be correct.
I guess if we were trolling on a GOP site we might list William Weld as our preference.

3. As if someone who supports her would say it?

The shit flinging would begin in a nanosecond and never cease.

5. That sounds about right to me.

7. Exactly.

9. Gabbard is the one who does the "shit-flinging" as you call it.

11. Am I the only one

who can see her speaking at the Republican National Convention in 2020?

A la Zell Miller?

13. Who knows?! I guess time will tell what

Gabbard's ultimate agenda is with all this "shit flinging" at the Democratic party.

14. I could see her on Fox

as their token Democrat.

15. I define that as

criticizing another person because of the candidate they support. Never acceptable amongst democrats, period IMHO. I wouldn't ever flame someone for supporting Hillary when i supported Bernie in the primaries, and have only contempt for any who did, or vice versa. Same here: technically she is a Democrat, so personally I'd be happy seeing any booted who gave another person shit for supporting her, even though I sure as hell don't.

I fucking LOATHE Bloomberg, but damned if I'm going to criticize anyone on this board for supporting them, same with every other candidate. But I can sure as hell see people piling on anyone who supported her- so I can easily see her having much more support than just number of posts would indicate.

I recall 2016 with plenty of nastiness between Bernie and Hillary supporters. I think it is *ALWAYS* wrong.

12. As it should

We're supposed to call out the enemies in our ranks.

6. She has a couple of defenders here, but they don't post a lot.

At least not about her. Clearly, she is unpopular with most DUers, and for good reasons. She remains a Democratic Primary candidate, though, for the time being.

[Beringia]

8. I think lurkers

I have an in-law who likes her who is democratic. We just talked about it very quickly. She mainly said she is fresh and new. The in-law is also fine with having 2-tier medical system.

10. Please keep in mind that since most people do other things besides visit DU, they may not have...

rushed back to DU to change their favorite candidate pick to someone else or to change their favorite candidate pick to undecided. Also, if people are not sure who to choose after deciding his or her vote won't be for Tulsi, he or she may not switch until he or she is sure who they want instead. Odds are, most who were "Team Tulsi" recently are probably already looking for an alternative.
