I don't dislike many of her positions (particularly on being less of a police state for other countries and being less interventionist), but as a candidate but she may have pissed in the DNC cheerios too much to get much traction beyond the Joe Rogan demographic.
Tulsi is like Liz Cheney, fell out of popularity a little on her own side, trying to make friends with the other party.

My point was, the lefties here implied that because even Liz Cheney criticizes Trump, that means Trump musty be bad. Fine. Using that same logic, if Tulsi Gabbard says that Biden and Harris are bad, they must also be bad.
