An Intelligent, thoughtful Democrat? That cares about the people that vote for her? Will her Party smash her like a bug, as per usual? If she can't be trained to play THEIR game.
Tulsi Gabbard: Democrats in Congress Preferred People Rotting in Prison to Giving Trump a Win
By Michael van der Galien December 29, 2019
When speaking to a group of supporters, Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard explained that hyperpartisanship has truly taken Washington D.C. hostage. An example of this extremely troubling Washington culture, she said, was that some Democrats in Congress would rather have people needlessly sitting years behind bars than help President Trump get criminal justice reform.
""A very practical thing that we need to address about the power of the two-party system," Rep. Gabbard said, "and how hyperpartisan things have become, because those two parties basically can accept an unlimited amount of money from any individual, business, or whatever. And that creates an incredible amount of leverage for them to hold over members of Congress from both political parties, who may be looking at an issue or a vote that's coming to the House floor based on its merits, imagine that, thinking about alright, well, how will this best impacts my constituents? But if they're thinking about voting against the party interest, then more often than not, they get the phone call or they get the tap on the shoulder on the House floor before the vote, saying, 'Don't you dare. If you vote against the party interest then when it's time for your reelection and you need help, we're not going to be there for you'."
