I have to strongly disagree on the impeachment part here. The proposition to impeach a POTUS is a very serious and solemn one, I think. Prior to Trump, it had only come up twice in our nation’s entire history, 3 times if we count Nixon (articles were drafted and we were certainly headed towards impeachment had he not resigned).
And she can’t take a stand on it one way or the other?? That is what I loathe about Tulsi the most, her spinelessness. And she had the balls to run to be the leader of the free world? Why would I want a POTUS who can’t take a stand?
That reasoning she laid out, that she couldn’t support “the culmination of a partisan process, fueled by tribal animosities that have so gravely divided our country”? I have news for Tulsi: That’s what the impeachment process is. It’s always been partisan, it’s always been divided, that’s what it is by nature and probably will always be. You can’t just do nothing because an issue is contentious, that’s not how leadership works.
To your other points: if Tulsi found flaws in the $15/hr min wage bill, something she supported and was campaigning on, she should’ve had the balls to vote “No” and say why. I have no respect for her “Present” vote,
I also thought her attacks on Kamala were misleading, and her attacks on Pete were outright nonsense.
Why she because a darling of the Right is kind of a mystery to me. The rest of her 2020 platform were things like Medicare For All, banning assault weapons, free college, abortion with very few restrictions, eliminating fossil fuel dependency, abolishing the electoral college…. I generally support those things, but so do a lot of other liberal Dems that I like a whole lot better than Tulsi.
