Tulsi Gabbard Launches 2020 Presidential Campaign

Tulsi Gabbard has announced that she is running for president in 2020:

TULSI 2020: Tulsi Gabbard Presidential Campaign, The ALOHA Launch – Live from Hawaii, USA https://t.co/xcA4DxIIw6

— Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) February 3, 2019

She is essentially running as a single issue candidate:

Heightening tensions with Russia and China are sending us into a new Cold War. We need to be stepping up nuclear nonproliferation agreements, not rolling them back. Trumps actions threaten our national security and the future of our planet.

— Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) February 1, 2019

We must stand against powerful politicians from both parties who sit in ivory towers thinking up new wars to wage & new places for people to die. Wasting trillions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of lives, undermining our economy and security, and destroying our middle class.

— Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) February 3, 2019

Trump campaigned against regime change wars when he ran for President but now bows to the wishes of the neocons around him, clamoring for the regime change wars he claimed to oppose, this time in Venezuela and Iran.

These powerful politicians dishonor the sacrifices made by every one of our service members, and their families – they are the ones who pay the price for these wars. #Tulsi2020 #AlohaRally

Tulsi Gabbard: I will end the regime change wars that have taken far too many lives, cost trillions of dollars, and undermined our security by strengthening terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Tulsi Gabbard’s argument that President Trump has sold out to Sheldon Adelson and the neocons is going to resonate with his own supporters:

First ?? was out, now ?? is out @realdonaldtrump‘s made his case why the US had to leave the INF, but @erinelsadunne lays out why there could be steep consequenceshttps://t.co/WazpacJdJz pic.twitter.com/AC824C8YrL

A key part of Trump’s appeal in 2016 was getting rid of the neocons and their endless wars.

Gabbard could easily away with that constituency.

I shouldn’t even have to repeat how much of a disappointment Trump’s foreign policy has been: some of the highlights include the current campaign for regime change in Venezuela, attacking Syria twice over fake gas attacks, pinning the Presidential Medal of Freedom on Sheldon Adelson’s wife, hiring neocons like Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton and Elliot Abrams to run our foreign policy, $38 billion for Israel, ending the Iran deal, moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, expanding NATO to include Montenegro, arming Ukraine with Javelin anti-tank missiles, imposing round after round of sanctions on Russia and withdrawing from the INF Treaty and restarting the Cold War.

The single bright spot has been talks with North Korea and the possibility, which the Republican Senate voted almost unanimously to oppose, of withdrawing troops from Syria and Afghanistan. Trump hasn’t delivered any victories on foreign policy for his base and has more or less pursued the Marco Rubio foreign policy of the GOP establishment. Meanwhile, the Democratic establishment has embraced the neocons, Russia hysteria, the wars in Syria and Afghanistan and intervention in Venezuela.

The Trump foreign policy has been nothing but endless victories for Israel:

Vice President Mike Pence gave the most cucked speech to the Knesset of any American politician in history. It was described as “a Zionist sermon.”

The knives are already out for Tulsi Gabbard:

Everyone in the pro-Israel lobby (myself included) is already talking about how to make sure that Tulsi Gabbard’s campaign is over before it even gets off the ground — If you’re going to bet on a Dem candidate, look elsewhere ??

The Russian propaganda machine that tried to influence the 2016 US election is now promoting the presidential aspirations of 2020 Democratic candidate Tulsi Gabbard. https://t.co/UmJ8Qc4elk

NBC News, to smear Gabbard as a Kremlin favorite, relied on a group that it heralded as “experts” without telling its audience about the major fraud which this firm just got caught perpetrating, writes @ggreenwald. https://t.co/Fc75HzcrP4

There are lots of people in the Alt-Right with nothing better to do and no incentive to support Trump and the Republicans who are gravitating toward Gabbard:

Did you know:

There was this guy named Charlie Kirk and that his entire person, followers, retweets and org were entirely AstroTurfed by billionaire donors to the GOP?

These are facts they do not teach in school or on conservative media. https://t.co/doIooxviTO

Yes she brings actual substance to 2020 in foreign policy. The two parties will be too busy trying to declare the other party the biggest racists to be concerned with substance. https://t.co/M0AtXMtGbS

Trump no longer wants or needs our support, even if you think he still deserves it.

Tulsi’s tiny, fragile campaign could actually use our energy, at least enough to get her to the debates.

Without her, national populist foreign policy won’t be a part of the conversation. Period

Gabbard is arguably the most anti-Zionist candidate in the race. Why not back Tulsi Gabbard as a protest vote in the 2020 Democratic primaries? It’s unlikely she will win the primary, but her campaign could be used to send a message to the GOP that our votes can’t be taken for granted.

Note: When Trey Knickerbocker floated the idea of infiltrating the Democratic Party, it was controversial at the time. Now, even The Daily Stormer is on board with it.
