So you all don't forget HL history, @Pressure called her out with the horseshoe theory while folks mocked him for it.
You ain't gotta lie to kick itShe was never a progressive. How the fukk is being a war hawk and a bigot progressive. She never supported progressive economic ideas, either. @Pressure has no idea what leftist policies actually are. Horseshoe Theory is literally something made up by right wing grifters. It's not real, y'all are too smart to fall for that dumb ass shyt.
She has the support of Bernie Sanders, the de facto leader of the progressive movement, and boasts of endorsements from a string of liberal-friendly groups. The environment-focused Sierra Club and League of Conservation Voters, labor unions such as the AFL-CIO, Planned Parenthood and National Nurses United have all given Gabbard, a three-term congresswoman, their blessing as she seeks re-election in the November midterm elections.
Even at her most progressive, many conservatives saw Gabbard as a critical part of a left-right alliance against political correctness. She was also a critic of the United States’s interminable wars in the Middle East, with which she had direct experience as a military veteran.

The red flags were there there, but she was welcomed by a large swathe of progressives because she was shytting on Hillary, supported progressive economic ideas, attacked us military intervention and adventurism, and aligned herself with Bernie Sanders.
Don't be mad me, be mad at her
I've been calling her out on her grift for years
Nothing you argue here has anything to do with what I said outside of horseshoe theory. So let me speak to that point.She was never a progressive. How the fukk is being a war hawk and a bigot progressive. She never supported progressive economic ideas, either. @Pressure has no idea what leftist policies actually are. He has no idea what he's talking about 90% of the time on leftist political theory, he's an idiot when it comes to it. Horseshoe Theory is literally something made up by right wing grifters. It's not real, y'all are too smart to fall for that dumb ass shyt.
She never supported nationalized healthcare (she only supported single payer), She never supported raising taxes on Wall Street or billionaires, she was an insane war hawk, she was an insane nationalist who supported imperialism. She's a massive proponent of public private partnerships. What exactly is leftist about Tulsi Gabbard?
The very idea that anyone ever considering her or Yang "leftist" is amusing to me but also shows a large amount of ignorance as to what leftism is. Pressure is center right, so anything that isn't capitalist bullshyt propaganda is left to him.

Cleary horseshoe theory has no basis in science but it has been used, with great effect, to describe people like Tulsi, so not sure what the issue is.
If you always argued that Tulsi wasn't a progressive as well, then good on you. Thanks for seeing through her deception and pointing it out. Other people jumped on the Tulsi bandwagon after she backed Bernie and savaged Kamala.
Point taken. I never took it that seriously, the model seemed to fit Tulsi perfectly and on that basis it was applied to her and people like Dore.The problem with horseshoe theory is it paints fascism and socialism/communism as the same level of extremism due to authoritarian actions from past leaders which isn't the case. It's literally just authoritarianism, which can literally happen in any form of government. But unless someone is educated on it they wouldn't realize that.
What's hilarious is that the US isn't just an authoritarian country it's also a police state but that's a completely different conversation that most don't want to have
It's never been that serious. It's just an easy way to describe folks like Tulsi or Dore and even Greenwald.Point taken. I never took it that seriously, the model seemed to fit Tulsi perfectly and on that basis it was applied to her and people like Dore.
I thought the starting point was the populism associated with groups that their ideologies, and the joke being that these two groups, whose ideologies should never merge, suddenly saw 'commom ground' because of their populism.
