Tulsi Gabbard should be the Pesidential candidate, and dems aren't serious about winning if they choose anyone else: A hot war veteran with a brain.

Tulsi Gabbard (
/ˈtʌlsi ˈɡæbərd/; born April 12, 1981) is an American politician serving as the
U.S. Representative for
Hawaii's 2nd congressional district since 2013. A member of the
Democratic Party, she was a Vice Chair of the
Democratic National Committee until February 28, 2016, when she resigned to endorse Senator
Bernie Sanders for the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. Elected in
2012, she is the first
Samoan-American member and the first
Hindu member of the
United States Congress.
Gabbard served in a field
medical unit of the
Hawaii Army National Guard in a combat zone in
Iraq from 2004 to 2005 and was later deployed to
Kuwait. She previously served in the
Hawaii House of Representatives from 2002 to 2004. When she was elected to the Hawaii House of Representatives at age 21, Gabbard was the youngest woman to be elected to a U.S. state legislature. She supports
abortion rights,
Medicare for All, opposed the
Trans-Pacific Partnership, has called for a restoration of the
Glass–Steagall Act, and publicly announced her support of
same-sex marriage in 2012. She is critical of aspects of
U.S. foreign policy regarding
Iraq,
Libya and
Syria. She opposes
removing Syrian President
Bashar al-Assad from power by force.
It's like having Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich, and Elizabeth Kucinich in one person. She's going to get hammered on the Medicare for All thing, but if anyone is going to make a case for it, you could do a lot worse. I look forward to seeing her in the debates.
