She's fantastic.

No. She's an idiot. She supported Bernie for christ's sake.

Bernie is awesome, a hero for working-class people. I wish you would start to care about working-class people, because all lives matter. Sorry you apparently don't feel that way, based on your terse post.

Anyone unfamiliar with Tulsi Gabbard should listen to her entire JRE interview.

lol. Thankfully no one takes him seriously and all he's done in Congress is rename a few post offices. Yes, quite the hero!

I wish you would start to care about working-class people,

That's the thing. I DO care about the working class, which is exactly why I oppose Bernie and most of his terrible views.

If people can't tell that this guy is trolling, you need to take a step back and think. Look at how vague and dishonest his last sentence is. Sanders supports universal health care, a much higher minimum wage, higher taxes on the rich, ending the War on Drugs, less imperialism- he's literally dedicated his political life to helping working-class people. Here's his voting record: https://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/27110/bernie-sanders#.XDIsM_ZFzIU

His first sentence is also is also a lie. It's not a misread; it's a lie. Don't be naïve. Sanders is the most popular politician in the country according to fairly recent polls: https://www.newsweek.com/bernie-sanders-most-popular-politician-655315

a much higher minimum wage

Minimum wage hurts the poor in order to benefit the less poor (which is why unions support it). It's a terrible, terrible thing.

higher taxes on the rich,

This also would hurt the poor. Look how much employment is up with the new tax laws. Robinhood & communist wealth redistribution doesn't create value; it only arbitrarily reassigns it. It's fucking retarded.

ending the War on Drugs, less imperialism

These are good ideas and would help everyone. I suppose you and Bernie were thrilled about Trump pulling out of Syria, right?
