no thanks, i'd rather talk about how awesome it is we're tearing down all these racist monuments. we also need to tear down andrew jackson (trail of tears) and thomas jefferson (slave rapist extraordinaire) statues, and why the gently caress wouldn't you

This is why I get a little exasperated at people who immediately rule out Gabbard because of her foreign policy positions. Yeah, she's a mixed bag, but jesus Christ look at the other contenders, Harris and Booker and etc. Just as bad on foreign policy but also way worse on domestic policy. Good on some stuff and bad on other stuff is a hell of a lot better than OK on a few things but mostly bad on everything.

When did I hear this wind before
Change like this to a deeper roar?
I'm starting to bleed another way
I just need some time to complete myself
These spotlights are here again
I can't see anything, I'm blind
This nature of time and space
Makes me sick of the situation
I couldn't know if I
If I'll be strong enough for this
I have to choose, do I want to live here?

Tulsi is either an actual progressive (which I think she is) or a poser wanting to ride progressive coattails

EITHER WAY

She's already endorsed, supported, and protested for actual progressive policies

WHEREAS

Booker and Kamala have consistently shown to be garbage people with terrible policy positions

Gabbard's history is way worse than Harris', she's barely had a chance to do anything in the senate and the AG stuff is just typical AG stuff compared to Tulsi's "holy poo poo that is a bad video" moments. If she's the best we can do we are completely hosed.

I'm not saying go hard in for Gabbard from day one. As much as we hate the hillfolk, and with good reason, they're still a big part of the party. Gabbard is a compromise, she's good on domestic policy, but will keep funding the MIC and endless pointless middle east interventions like the Clintonites want.

And it's not like there's an American Corbyn. There's no perfect candidate who actually explicitly rejects imperialism. Didn't even Bernie support the war in Afghanistan?

"Typical AG stuff" is way worse than anything Tulsi Gabbard has done.

like almost all of these were either erected in the Lost Cause/2nd Klan/Birth of a Nation revisionist period, or more recently

either way they were always about racism. I mean someone should probably articulate that at least because it utterly undercuts the idea that these statues have any validity w/r/t heritage.

The history of the Civil War is commemorated at museums and battle site parks all over the country. The notiion that any monuments in an open public space serve any genuine historical function is a bald faced lie.

Anyway, thanks for letting me state the obvious. Go check out your local battle sites.
