Your point was lets not expect a perfect candidate, and lets not repeat 2016 mistakes.

But as far as your Kamala point-


#1 I honestly haven't seen any passionate Kamala supporters, to your point. The Tulsi supporters caught my attention because they have been a little loud, and I wanted to understand that since she is such a troubling candidate based on past positions. I wanted to understand how folks were getting past that.

#2 Jon specifically posted something on Kamala and said "I prefer Tulsi..." among others. Opening a discussion on Tulsi.



#3 This thread seems to have become the candidate thread. There's also some talk about Castro if you scroll up, no?

I don't disagree, its just how the thread developed. That tends to happen. The Beto thread was the candidate thread for a while, too.

Cuz we talked about Tulsi in here. In fact, this is where someone posted that she was running initially. And Castro. Etc.

And Jon, specifically, brought her up.

Go for it. Post your thoughts. I'm curious if you think the Kamala critiques are also "expecting a perfect candidate"


Like I said, I'm not in the Kamala camp and I guess she just hasn't sparked the interest that Tulsi has (based on her history/controversy)
