Tulsi Gabbard: 'Hyper-Partisanship' Has Blocked Progress On Climate Change | MSNBC

    1. @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

    2. 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?

    3. ​@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…?

  1. Tulsi gabbard focuses on the issues. This concerns people who benefit from the issues. So, they smear her! GIVE PEACE A CHANCE. TULSI 2020

    1. @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.

    2. 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.

  2. 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.

    1. 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.

    2. @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.

    1. 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…

  3. 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.

    1. tubetonemesa – She’s the only Democratic candidate who can steal votes from Trump. Republicans actually like her. She’d wipe the floor with Trump!

    2. @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

  4. 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.

  5. *All these haters would rather stay in the middle east fighting where we’ve lost thousands of American troops and have spent Trillions! FOOLS*
