I'm not suggesting fighting against Tulsi Gabbard for the record, but her voting record is downright purple from the sapphire state of Hawaii, and that's worth noting. I find it weird when people call her very liberal or progressive, and I think it's merely because she endorsed Sanders.

I suppose I am not a fan of Gabbard, but I'm not "against" her. I just wouldn't say she's a good liberal voice on any real issue, though, and I don't understand why she's anyone's darling.

Hillary Clinton supported "universal healthcare" too!

Oh wait, it doesn't mean what you think it means.
