I agree, but she is relatively young.

I sure wouldn't want her to run for president, especially like in 2020. The current head Dems would destroy her. But I would love to watch her, for say the next 10 years or so, and see if she can hold her levelheaded, common sense, without being corrupted.

I sure hope so.

Wonder what her stance on illegal immigration is.


Whatever it is I’m sure she could intelligently discuss it.

Which is more than I can say for the current “leadership”.

I agree, unfettered illegal immigration and abolishing ICE is pretty stupid.

Im sure the DNC would find a way to “Bernie Sanders” her.
If not that, any moderator would simply cut her off during debate, or the audio/video feed would get cut, or opponents would scream over her.

Ya know, the typical tactics.

Watch the whole interview. Super delegates won’t be a thing from now on, so the way Bernie got shafted isn’t going to happen going forward.

It seems the DNC learned from their mistakes. If they put up her or a similar young candidate with current views, what we have now will just be a memory. People are tired of senior citizens trying to run the country on outdated ideas.

Pretty soon the DNC might be a Socialist Paradise with Bernie a hero.

I have to say two things about this interview.

The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, is amazing. I can think of few casters, who have consistently pulled in guests as varied and interesting, as the assortment of folks that Mr Rogan has had on his show.The appearances of Elon Musk, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Paul Stamets, to name but a small few, are some of my favourite content on the entire internet, but besides that Rogan has also had huge names in entertainment, politics and journalism, on his show, having great discussions that really get to the heart of matters.

Whether they serve to show a persons true nature for good or ill, I know of few settings in which people in the public eye, are as open and comfortable with being themselves, as when sat down with Joe Rogan, talking about what interests them over a drink and occasionally a smoke. Mr Rogan has done a stellar job of creating the atmosphere necessary for those people to have totally real conversations, in a relaxed enough manner that the viewer or listener gets a real sense of what really makes them tick, and I think that is often overlooked, until something like this, or the Musk episode gets broadcast.

On the subject of Tulsi Gabbard, from everything one can know of her, including but not limited to the contents of this podcast episode, there is an awful lot to like. For a start, she is committed to the place she seeks to represent in her official capacity, to solving its problems, to working out those fine details that make the difference between well intentioned clusterbang, and successful application of resources with ideal or close to ideal results. She is also more than aware and ready to publicly confront, the fact that when it comes to getting things done that NEED doing, she will encounter resistance from all quarters, including within her own political party. She knows that the whole mess is corrupt, and has no capacity to either ignore or accept as forgone conclusion, the corruption she sees in operation. She strikes one as the sort of person who intends to do everything she can to solve that problem, to improve the system for the future.

She is not afraid of being honest, as so many people in the political world are, about the dysfunctions of her party, willing to confront and conquer that problem if given half a chance to do so. There is an awful lot to respect about her approach to these matters, her forthrightness and realism. She understands intrinsically that representing the people and the place you are voted into power over, means confronting and solving problems like that, and this is refreshing, because so many people before her have bent over and accepted these things as a fact of life, without taking the time or using the effort necessary to tackle them.

I think she shows great promise for the future, and I wish her every success in building a more transparent, more people powered party, and indeed a more people powered future for her country in the time to come.

Now that the Dems have modified the power of the Super delegates, there is a chance. As I understand it the super delegate power cannot be exercised until the second vote at the convention. That will be the opportunity for a nominee to rise from the lower ranks and take the convention by acclamation. First ballot. An underling who is as well spoken and presentable to a large portion of the left(and right as well) might be able to be hoisted past the stultifying structure of party lethargy.
