The homophobic views she had are on record. Given that it was so long ago, before her tours, and not really only the same level as some mainstream politicians that the left adores I don’t put much weight to them.

Fair

I’m sure you’d be the first person crying for the ACLU to defend your first amendment rights should a government deny your right to organize. How do you not get that if the city of Boston could ban them for views they disagree with, then any city could just as easily ban some viewpoint you support for similarly…

I also think that Gabbard did surprisingly well overall. I’m not a huge fan of hers in general, but she did very well for herself. There’s nothing to bitch about, IMO.

Human history is one long, miserable, violent, unending straight pride march. This is like having a march for time. The concept of time.

“Great man you coulda just said that part!”

An Asian lawyer turned entrepeneur who is the son of immigrants, getting support from white supremacists is like watching Snoop Dog, Martha Stewart, and Ru Paul on VH1. If you think back a ways, not sure anyone saw these bedfellows coming together on a cooking show.

Bernie’s NRA endorsement has always been troubling, and his gun statements have had some racial undertones. So yeah, I hold him accountable for that somewhat. But the NRA and the Third Way aren’t comparable organizations.

“Politics is about building coalitions”

lol tell that to oregon

Claiming it’s bad that a think tank that is responsible for promoting terrible, neoliberal policies is endorsing a candidate is not disingenuous for one.

Respectfully, this should be the kind of thing that gets the “now is not the proper time for this” card pulled on it. Warren has nothing to do with Caban’s victory, and Caban’s victory is unabashedly welcome, both because it punches the Democratic machine right in the ribs, and because it has good substantive policy…

I thought I was gonna barf.

Pick who you want to piss off least and move forward.

Maybe she should stop siding with and supporting the Trump Administration then. Maybe she should be a leader and go on the offensive on this.
