Tulsi and Jocko on the latest Rogan.
Very enjoyable so far. Damn she could really make an impact if she'd just stop bending over to the Dems. Plenty of reasonable democrats out there who need someone to stand up to that parties madness.
Also commiserations to her family on her upcoming suicide.
God it was refreshing to hear a cogent discussion for once.

Just finished it. What a great podcast. Actual sanity from a democrat candidate and having Jocko on was brilliant. Some actual nuanced conversation on Trump, no doubt she will be hauled over the coals by the twitteratti for not incessantly yelling 'orange man bad' while screaming at the sky and pulling clumps of her own hair out. Really thing she could give Trump a run for his money if my some miracle she could get the nomination and actually stick to her ideals.

Gabbard's first name comes from Sanskrit. Tulsi is the name for Holy Basil, a plant sacred in Hinduism.[194] Her siblings also have Hindu Sanskrit-origin names.[18] During her childhood Gabbard excelled in martial arts.[23] In 2002, she was a martial arts instructor.[195] She is vegan[196]
I'm torn here, she is a vegan but doesn't bring it up much if at all . If a vegan isn't preachy and annoying about it can they truly call themselves a vegan?

@Tim that weird shot of him nibbling his wife's finger on stage is real too apparently. Does nobody around him have the guts to pull him aside and tell him maybe this campaign is a bridge too far and to just enjoy his retirement?

I watched the video of that. It's nothing at all. Photo makes it look bad but in context he was just being playful with his wife...can't defend his other actions so much though.

He's 77. Hopefully the American public point that out.

Biden's great strength is his very high support from African Americans.
This has not dipped at all. He holds massive leads over the other candidates with this group. All the other candidates, bar Bernie, are very "white liberal" or "white centrist".Conservative columnist makes the case for Bernie potentially being the unifier of the party. Unfortunately for Bernie, the controlling Obama faction won't be having it.

@Duluth said in US Politics:
Her support crashed as soon as people had a serious look at her.
It will be interesting to see if she boosted her name recognition enough to be a VP option. The white men that are left will be pressured to pick a dark skinned female
She could have some competition there , isn’t Warren starting to slide now ? She identifies as a woman of colour.

I haven't seen many people mention Klobuchar as a VP candidate. I think she's the best option if they want to go for a female.
She can think on her feet and could play the traditional VP attack dog role. Warren and Harris have been poor in the debates when talking points are pushed back onThey'll probably go for Stacey Abrams though
