(1,501 posts)Tulsi Gabbard was Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee from 2013-2016 after she was elected as the youngest woman in history to Congress. She served honorably in the Iraq War and has been in the National Guard since 2003. She is now in service on military manuvers in Indonesia. Mueller cleared Bernie of any culpability in his indictment. There is zero evidence Gabbard is involved as well..

Russians are equal opportunity shit-stirrers. They do not care about party labels which means it is wrong to assume that the candidates they "support" are bad or believe that the ones that they attack (see Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio in 2016, also confirmed by Mueller's indictment) are good. Blaming Tulsi or Bernie is missing this point completely.
There's been a smear campaign going on since the second debate:

(7,702 posts)Then why vote in the primary?
Sorry but we need passion. As my Mom would say, "faint heart will not win fair lady."
So, now you've proved you have passion, but it's misplaced right now against other Dems. Save it for the Repubs. They deserve it more.

(7,702 posts)...that she does not need to earn the nomination. And that implies no Dem candidate needs to "prove" their ability to defeat Trump. I think that is naive at best. Not to mention, a bit early since the first primary is not until Jan.

(7,702 posts)So why spend the time having one? Just support whoever wins in the end.
That's no way to take on the Trump/GOP.

(49,034 posts)another DUer being happy Sanders is being attacked here, because IMO Biden's probably been subjected to more attacks here than any other candidate.
As for who's doing well -- polls are the most reliable data we have on that.
As for whether any candidate who becomes the nominee "has to earn" a Democrat's vote:
Vote Blue No Matter Who.
Vote for our nominee because that nominee won the support of enough Democrats to prove that he or she should be the standard bearer.
If any Democrat doesn't vote blue, no matter who our eventual nominee is, that Democrat is helping Trump and the GOP destroy our country and threaten the world.

(7,702 posts)Why does the poster think anyone in the primary group would not vote for our Dem candidate?
Seems a bit over-reactive to something which is not clearly defined in the post.
