(58,724 posts)I also like all the other Democratic candidates so far (and some who have not yet announced).
Plenty of great options.
The key is to make sure we get a Democrat in the White House in 2020.

(10,131 posts)A start like this will bury her.
It is a poor reflection on her planning, decision making, discipline and leadership.
Wanna see how it is done really well? look at Kamala Harris who secured her place at or near the top of the polls with how she rolled out her campaign. That was no accident. Good vision, strategy and planning. Great timing, media exposure and execution. Thought out marketing and message/speech. Great candidate discipline and delivery. They're probably still counting all the money that flowed into her campaign.
Meanwhile, Gabbard's campaign will hyperventilate on a shoestring budget and a rudderless direction ..

(15,265 posts)So we have mutiple people posting that they won't stand for anyone using the corporate dem moniker on certain candidates yet negatives post are made regulary against another who won her district with 77.4 % of the vote. Seem fair to me.

(109,026 posts)she refused to support the Hawaii marriage equality bill. As recently as 2005, she referred to "homosexual extremists." (She's recently apologized for her previous actions, on the grounds that she has learned in the service that she shouldn't impose her religious beliefs on others -- but that hasn't satisfied many progressives.)
She fiercely criticized Obama for not using the term "radical Islamic terrorist" to describe members of ISIS. (Obama didn't want to disparage all Muslims for the actions of a few.)
She traveled to Syria and met with the dictator Assad for private talks without informing House leadership.
Shortly after the 2016 election, she went to Trump Tower to have a chat with Trump.
People like Steve Bannon speak very highly of her.
She grew up in and is still associated with the cult called the Science of Identity Foundation, led by guru Chris Butler, which is highly secretive and tends to sue news organizations that attempt to investigate it.

(17,984 posts)I mean, seriously, she's a Democrat? If you are going to answer, then I want the honest truth.
pnwmom
(109,026 posts)Yes, though people like Steve Bannon have expressed their enthusiasm about her, she identifies as a Democrat. (The kind who as recently as 2013 refused to support marriage equality in Hawaii; and who within days of the 2016 election went up to the Trump Tower for a private chat with Trump.)
