Huh? You posted a gotcha article, and I'm guessing you didn't even read it.

You really cant see the difference between praising someone's style, but trashing their policies....and praising their actual policies? LOL cmon man.

You are honestly going to sit there and say "yep, its the same"?

I am talking about her carefully worded, reluctant, vailed critque of Obama

“I have spent the past several weeks carefully studying the Iran Nuclear Agreement and searching for a better alternative, considering seriously the arguments posed by proponents and opponents of this agreement,” Gabbard said in her statement before listing all the officials she’s met with. “I decided to vote for the Iran Nuclear Agreement not because it’s a great deal, or even a good deal. I voted for it because I could not find a better alternative. There are two main alternatives—both of them bad."

Okay. She voted for it. But she played the "I guess this is the best Obama can do" card and, to my knowledge, did not offer a better option.

This is what we have been saying about the woman. I think if she was in a different state, her true colors would come out.

Or-

Adding to the right wing critique of Obama. Wait, did she evolve from this tweet in 3-4 years?

Reeq already has in the other thread. I'm not shying away from anything.

I just don't think you can be this aloha-all-is-love non-interventionist, AND join the right wing in demanding the term "radical Islam" is used. Or taking a bunch of money from the very industry you claim she is against.

Oh, and this again.

So is she anti-intervention, or bomb the shit out of them? Or just whatever lets her look like she is bucking the party?



How old are you Vex? Honest question. You suffer from hero-worship I think. You can be a HUGE fan of someone, and still admit their faults. You can still think objectively about things.


You can still admit that Bannon prasining AOC's style is not the same as him praising Tulsi's actual views.

I feel like I'm talking to a wall here. You can't be objective and all I recall you saying is "she's evolved" and/or "no one is perfect"

I can't think of a politician living or dead that I wouldn't have an honest critique for- even ones I admire.

You are straight up on some "Hilary needs to be praised for growing, she is just misunderstood, she is being treated unfairly" shit.
