A lot of the things she supports are also supported by a majority of Democrats. I respect her decision to leave the party, as the party, as a whole, is not entirely without flaws. There really are some prominent Democrats who kowtow to and accept donations from selfish and self-serving corporate interests. Nevertheless, they are currently the strongest counter we currently have to MAGA Trumpist and Republican insanity and authoritarianism, which is why for the foreseeable future I am likely to vote mostly for Democrat politicians. Adam Kinsinger is one Republican I respect, and I would seriously consider voting for him if he were running in an election, I was eligible to vote in, and his opponent were a Democrat as flawed as Manchin or Sinema. If I lived in Utah right now, I would definitely vote for independent candidate, Evan McMullin, over Republican candidate, Mike Lee, and perhaps even over some Democrat candidates, were they running in that race.
I think Tulsi Gabbard's view of a flaw candidate would be someone like Mandela Barne's who continues to tweet about his respect and admiration for the Reverend Jeremiah Wright and his Goddam America sermon, not someone like Joe Manchin or Kristen Sinema who were economic centrists outcast for pushing back against the socialism and inflation generating spending in the Build Back Better bill. Tulsi didn't seem to support cutting the prison population in half and freeing violent criminals to prey upon urban businesses and citizens so long as the criminals are black because systemic racism. I'm guessing that you Gunnar would enthusiastically support Mandela Barnes as you support the Reverend Raphael Warnock. Am I right?
It's hard for me to believe that Manchin is still a Democrat. When does he have to face another election? I doubt he even attempts to run again at this point.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Of course I support Mandela Barnes' Pro-choice position! As has already been exhaustively pointed out and illustrated by some of the injustices and horrors that have already resulted and will continue to result by denying women and their doctors primary autonomy over their own bodies and reproductive healthcare, the pro-choice position is, when all things are considered, actually more pro-life than is a strict anti-abortion stance. Thus it is in a real sense at least somewhat contradictory and hypocritical to characterize a strict anti-abortion stance as a pro-life stance.
No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our God-given freedom
Anyone who talks like that is a moron, and so it doesn't matter.

Is that all you got? Abortion?
We're talking about Mandela Barnes setting thousands of guys like this loose to continue their campaign of murder and mayhem because well, systemic racism.

Okay, so two years ago Ms. Gabbard thinks so highly of the Democratic Party that she runs for the Democratic Nomination.
So all of this woke crap happened in the last two years? Does 'woke' mean NOT being anti-LGBTQ? If she could not see where the party was heading, what can I think about her ability to prognosticate what the country will need?
Tulsi Gabbard was the ONLY ONE to vote 'Present' for Donald Trump's impeachment.
If you ask me, that makes her a gutless piece of trash. Vote UP or DOWN, you vacillating chicken.

Ah yes, another classic boogeyman of the Right. A Christian minister who rightly said God damn America during a sermon once upon a time, for illegally starting a war based on a lie about WMDs. A war that would ultimately result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
Of course these "Christians" on the Right have no problem with slaughtering of innocents because in their warped heads, if the United States of America does it then it is OK, because this is God's country. He's constantly blessing it no matter what sins it commits.

Well, she now has the choice to hitch her wagon to an elitist cabal of election deniers who also tend to eagerly support their own pet military programs.
I’d always hoped that she would choose to appeal to people’s minds rather than their gut, but the latter seems to be all the rage these days.

No. That is not all I've got. Not by a long shot!
I find Manela Barnes' overall record and resume far more appealing and admirable than that of his opponent.
Prior to serving as Lt. Governor, Mandela was elected to the State Assembly where he emerged as a champion on issues of the environment, economy, education, racial justice, and health care. He became the chair of the legislature’s Black and Latino Caucus in his first term, became a national leader on gun violence prevention, and was recognized as one of the top pro-growth progressive leaders in the country. He also worked as a community organizer in Milwaukee and served as Deputy Director of Strategic Engagement for the State Innovation Exchange, sharing progressive best practices with state legislatures across the country.
Mandela serves on the Governor’s Health Equity Council, Wisconsin Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, Wisconsin Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Task Force, the Governor’s Council on Financial Literacy and Capability, and the statewide 2020 Census Complete Count Committee.
He supports most of the things I support. He recognizes the realities of climate change and the necessity of ameliorating it, the value of preserving free and fair access to elections, etc. And very important, he doesn't buy into the colossal lie about the 2000 election being stolen from Trump or any of Trump's other lies. We need more, not fewer politicians like him. Wisconsin is lucky to have him, and I hope enough Wisconsinites recognize that to get him elected!
