Tulsi Gabbard: 'Hyper-Partisanship' Has Blocked Progress On Climate Change | MSNBC
Tulsi won the debate
@somastic69 obviously we can bring down fossil fuel consumption to the bare minimum such that it’s sustainable and rest of it would be renewable. It’s dumb to argue on specifics now
@Arid what we should do is ban video Game consoles. That’s probably 30% of all electricity usage.
Brett Jameson These are facts: Obama ordered over 500 drone strikes that killed more than one hundred civilians during his time in office. And at the time of his presidency he deported more immigrants than any other president. No one other than Tulsi is talking about these costly regime change wars. She’s being smeared now, but the moment a candidate is picked they’ll steal her talking points just to get the independent vote. If you’ve covered politics for over thirty years, how on gods green earth are you so blind to the hypocrisy of it all?
@Brett Jameson ok, boomer
@Brett Jameson Typical. No arguments based on actual policy, but instead just pathetic innuendo. Perhaps it makes more sense that your little list of people have ‘endorsed’ Tulsi because of their loathing of Hillary…? And not because of some hidden BS like you are trying to imply?
Ever since Tulsi resigned her position as DNC vice chair in 2016 to publicly support Bernie and call out the DNC’s bias, the DNC establishment and Hillary have been out for her blood. From the day that Tulsi announced her 2020 presidential run, she has been constantly attacked and smeared by supposedly ‘friendly’ democratic-leaning media. Recently, Hillary went so far as to publicly call Tulsi a ‘Russian Asset’, an obviously ridiculous smear.
Ironically, Hillary’s attack on Tulsi likely managed to do what none of Trump’s supporters could: validate the idea that ‘anybody who crosses Hillary is framed as a Russian asset’. Gee, I wonder why all those people you have listed would possibly have some sympathy toward Tulsi…?
Tulsi gabbard focuses on the issues. This concerns people who benefit from the issues. So, they smear her! GIVE PEACE A CHANCE. TULSI 2020
@Brett Jameson proof of that I will wait. Links please
Tulsi2020!
@Brett Jameson Any links to proof? I’m sure that if you cover politics, you only go by facts and not claims.
@Brett Jameson – Well, you got the “unite” part right.
She unites, actually, all sorts of different people.
However, the brainwashed will probably remain brainwashed, mumbling straw man BS. Why? Because they can’t comprehend the real issues.
“Covered” or concealed?…Concealed discourse with guilt by association.
Yes, the Climate Change Movement benefits. The Climate Change Movement has the characteristics of all major historical movements including that of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (the NAZI Party and Hitler) and the Bolsheviks in Russia (Communism and Lenin)
There is an enemy, and for this cause the enemy is humankind and oil and natural gas
The cause is presented as the one and only truth, which is not understood, but rather for which there is certainty in the minds of the movement and includes deliberate misrepresentation of the facts
To strengthen the movement coercion and bullying are now both abundantly applied by those holding powerful government positions
The movement has a fanatical core, with millions of followers (who often have a personal benefit related to this movement) all having blind obedience to the cause with hatred and intolerance towards others and the current state; which must be destroyed and not simply reformed
The cause, starting out as noble, has now evolved with the goal of Socialism and Communism (e.g., Fidel Castro). In less than 25 years, the Climate Change Movement has taken control of many governments, the media, politicians, religious leaders, individual citizens, some of the scientific community, and many UN agencies.
Really love Tulsi and happy she points out that the fossil fuel industry receives 30 billion (!) dollars in subsidies every year. The next president should write an executive order to stop those subsidies which are endangering our future and health.
Oil Companies have received subsidies for decades. Even in their most profitable years.
And how does this industry receive subsidies, and for what?
@Bruce Sanders A few articles to help answer your good question. In short: direct payments and tax breaks and to keep dying industries alive while killing the planet.

Tulsi is the only adult on the stage! Go Tulsi 2020!
Michael Warzenski mayor Pete is literally a republican. He back tracked on his Medicare for all plan after accepting a million dollars from pharmaceutical companies. Him and joe Biden have accepted individually more donations from millionaires than TRUMP HIMSELF. Why do you think he polls at less than .5% with blacks and gays? When he was in office he didn’t cater to anyone that put him in office other than him self.
@Michael Warzenski any evidence?
She may be an adult, but she is a Socialist and Communist like the others
@Bruce Sanders YEA! Keep deregulating the market until it crashes and keep fighting the good wars! that’s exactly what we need.! and thanks to trump repealing Dod Frank we might have more wars in the future thanks to big oil companies. Oh yea I forgot, let’s start more military coups in foreign countries! Our quota is down! Get on it Trump! we wont be happy till we are in control of ALL THE OIL as trump said on live television.
She is right spot on!
when did she get the grey streak of hair
She got it while serving in the iraq war and then she coloured it as a reminder I think
Arid it’s the opposite. She decided Not to dye it so that she could wear her tour of duty as a trophy
@The Secret History thanks
Stress from serving in SOLDIER during the war of lies (Iraq) #FF7 #SaveThePlanet
#Tulsi2020
Tulsi =Truth
DNC=Lie
HOW COME PEOPLE THAT HAS A P IN A PURPLE CIRCLE ACT LIKE WHACK JOB
And you wonder why the League of Women voters quit in 1987-88. lmao
it’s both of them.
Gabbard is schooling the other candidates on that stage, this is our hunger games and Tulsi is hungry!
TG is hungry because she can’t fight. She doesn’t even have the mental strength of Rue.
Rue hid in trees and died with no fight in her. Tulsi willingly went to war, saving lives, and leads the fight for real change within within our government. She’s also a real person so…
Tulsi gives me hope for the country.
And people in Socialist and Communist countries would not want here, they want freedom.
She’s the best on that stage. She doesn’t pander, and she doesn’t let people pull her further left into ridiculousness. Obama is signaling to Democrats not to make the very mistake they’re making.
tubetonemesa – She’s the only Democratic candidate who can steal votes from Trump. Republicans actually like her. She’d wipe the floor with Trump!
@Bovine One they want Trump to win, because it’s not left vs right, it’s establishment vs truth and Tulsi is on the side of the truth. They’d rather elect ANYBODY than her
The best of the Socialists and Communists? And Americans want that?
Tulsi’s OFF Bill makes sense!
Thanks!
Here’s the text:

Tulsi 2020 President. She getting my vote 100%.
just out of curiosity, in case she does not proceed, what would your next decision be?
@Grizz . Others are clowns….. And they’re not getting my vote……
100%? How many votes do you get?
I will vote for Tulsi
Tulsi is right. We could have done something if it was not this political game.
carter tried. When he put solar on the white house roof. Then Reagan took them down.
what would you do? humans cannot control the climate.
Tulsi’s OFF Fossil fuels Act is more effective than AOC’S watered down version of the Green Party’s Green New Deal in transforming America’s infrastructure into one that relies on alternative renewable energy. Unlike AOC’s GND, OFF ACT is an actual legislative bill that sets guidelines to get us off from depending on fossil fuels.
And why is eliminating fossil fuels an objective?
*TULSI 2020* 🇺🇸 🙏🏼
*All these haters would rather stay in the middle east fighting where we’ve lost thousands of American troops and have spent Trillions! FOOLS*
probably some of that money is paying for this nonsense.just like wimpy shultz
DONATE TO TULSI’S CAMPAIGN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO SHE CAN QUALIFY FOR THE NEXT DEBATE
can you donate in canada . maybe I should send some money to my relatives in the USA.
Other pols should support Tulsi’s OFF act. We need to take action now.
