REPOSTED: Tulsi Gabbard Takes On Her Critics Inside Dem Party

JIMMY DORE

[dropcap]A[/dropcap] recent poll of the Democrat presidential wannabes shows that the media are clearly burying Tulsi Gabbard's bid, assigning it (and it can get worse) merely 1% of their coverage, while "safe" party stalwarts like Warren get 16 times as much and Bernie Sanders, a likely sheepdog again and no threat to the national security state, 18 times as much. Even empty-headed Beto O'Rourke, the rich Texas dilettante, garners 9 times as much, and this guy has absolutely nothing to say, all his positions stink, and is, in fact, a certifiable DINO.  That makes items on Tulsi all the more valuable, especially those showing the treachery issuing from within her party's own ranks. Tulsi may no be perfect—we are aware of that—and at this point we can't say for certain that she won't suddenly do an about face, but so far, despite some contradictions, she's a breath of fresh air, and her value is in precisely forcing on the topical agenda the endless wars and their costs in life and treasure here and around the world, not to mention making the dense layer of cowards and apologists for the current rotten status quo look as awful as they are.
