    As far as I know she is not "pro-modhi", she just met him. It's not really weird for an Indian-American politician too meet with the leader of India lol. A bunch of twitter leftists deemed her a hindu fascist because an Indian-American supporter of hers asked her to take a photo wearing a BJP scarf and she politely obliged not realizing what it was. The whole accusation seems kinda racist honestly.

    As for the war on terror, she is one of the only politicians in the US talking about Saudi Arabia's support of Sunni terrorist groups but opposes the military actions the US does in the name of the "war on terror".

    As for going on Tucker, who fucking cares? She doesn't shit talk "the left", she shit talks neoliberal Dems. The idea that going on Fox news means you're a right winger is peak lib brain.

    If you're going to criticize her for anything, it should be the same things that every american politician should be criticized for, being pro-america and pro-capitalism. The only difference between her and Bernie is that she doesn't falsely call herself a socialist and she has better foreign policy. She upholds Amerikkka, so she's definitely not good, but she is better than basically all the rest even if she does the whole cringe "I love America" troop spiel.

        Imagine trusting jakkkobin on literally anything even remotely close to foreign policy issues.

        Either way she's a Democrat that loves this shithole country, so yeah she is bad. Just don't think Bernie's Yugoslavia-bombing, Afghan war-voting ass is better.

          lmao, dismissing Jacobin based on source rather than content but then also saying that going on Tucker isn't automatically bad. Real consistent dude.

            Both stumble into a correct position occasionally while spewing their bourgeois ideology. Ironically both are basically only right when ripping neoliberal Democrats, and that isn't what this article is doing. It's obvious that this was an article meant to prevent like 100 Bernie bro simps from voting Tulsi over Bernie because their positions are similar but she's hot and young.

            Tbh, Tucker and Jacobin serve the same purpose: to spread false consciousness to a particular subset of mostly petit bourgeois workers and funnel their rage and energy into a political program that preserves and fortifies capitalism. One is diet fascism and the other is social fascism.

              "Social fascism" is a bullshit term used by people like the Red Guards to excuse physically assaulting people at DSA meetings. It's a garbage concept. Calling anything left of actual socialism some form of fascism totally removes any meaning from the word. Cut it out.

              It's also incredibly silly to claim that Tucker and Jacobin "stumble into the right position" at the same or even similar rates. And he's more than a diet fascist tbh, he's an outright fash and going on his show, even to dunk on neolibs, is contributing to his fash messaging. He's one of the most dangerous fascists in the country as well. I'm not so obsessed with owning the libs (because I'm not a CHUD, I'm a leftist) that I'll enjoy dunks on neolibs from an outright fascist, even if they're technically correct. So fuck Tulsi and Greenwald and anyone who thinks joining Tucker in dunking on neolibs is cool. Tbh I agree with the libs when they spread around a screenshot of Glenn and Tucker laughing together, that shit is fucking sickening. Not everything that isn't actual socialism is equally evil, and some leftists inability to understand that makes me disgusted with the left at times.
