Tulsi Gabbard voted against AOC’s amendment which would have prohibited the military from recruiting young children on Twitch— Bhavik Lathia (@bhaviklathia) July 31, 2020
Sorry, but that's wrong. Her campaign reached out to Bernie first, but he wouldn't take her endorsement - which may have been the right move, because she wasn't going to bring in new voters - and it was already past Super Tuesday, yada yada. Then she endorsed Biden. Bernie dropped out and endorsed Biden the same week IIRC.
I'm not a Tulsi stan by any means, she's a left-adjacent careerist, but she helped Bernie a lot more than Warren, even if Warren's politics are better than Tulsi's, and the Biden endorsement is not a point against her.
I heard that story as well but I believe it was debunked by Tulsi herself, apparently it was a family member who spread it.
That being said there was a lot of bad blood between bernie and tulsi's campaign at the end mostly due to Bernies campaign being run by neoliberal shit heels like jeff weaver, treating all the grassroots people and their obvious allies like trash.
endorsing biden was pretty much the mask off moment for her campaign.
haha i completely forgot she did that. gotta get that vp pick some how
Didn't she also take a hiatus from her anti-war presidential campaign to... literally serve in the military? Lol I remember being :thinkin-lenin:
