I want her or bloomberg.
I voted and supported Sanders. I then went with Stein. I've long been throwing support Gabbard's way and I'm excited she is running.

If it's Trump and Bloomberg, I might vote Trump.

The Democrats better worship this woman as their "Michelle Obama." She's way more refreshing than old rich white guys Biden, Sanders, or Bloomberg.
What are her policies?


Unlike you, we won't base our decision on the criteria you put forth.


Who is her base?


Liberals? Conservatives?

Been over this one.

Patriot. Reasonable. Good-looking female.

No chance whatsoever of winning the Democrat nomination.

Tossed salad Gabbard.
Does it come with Russian dressing or just some communist ideology ?

I don’t think the dem base will like her because of her social conservatism (real, not the tv pastor fake conservativism) or her anti-war policies.

Domestically she’s to the left of most Dems, but that also due to her social beliefs.

I'm a Dem and anti-war but I'll really have to learn some more about her.

I didn't know anything about her but got this off Wikipedia:

She supports abortion rights, opposed the Trans-Pacific Partnership, has called for a restoration of the Glass–Steagall Act and changed her stance to support same-sex marriage in 2012. She is critical of aspects of U.S. foreign policy regarding Iraq, Libya and Syria. She opposes removing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from power.

She met with members of the Syrian government/Assad during the hieght of the civil war because she is against US intervention within Syria.

She said she doesn't support Assad, but doesn't want the US overthrowing governments and wants it to work (not ally) with the legitimate government of some countries.

Democrats in the media didn't like that and call her an Assadist, I don't know what you think about that, but most dems from my understanding don't like giving the Assad/Russia corner any legitimacy.

Also it happened when Obama still was pursuing regime change in Syria so it seemed like a betrayal of the president.

I've read a bit about her meeting with Assad; doesn't seem too popular with many. My son just texted me about what do I know about her so I thank everyone in the thread who gave me a bit of info!

Judgement reserved until she starts putting forth her ideas.
