I am not a Democrat. In fact, I disagree with most of what Tulsi Gabbard has to say. I am not even sure about voting as an institution, but one thing I know for sure is that Tulsi Gabbard is legit. Unlike other allegedly “antiwar” candidates like Warren and Sanders, her voting record on foreign intervention is superb. Tulsi Gabbard has consistently voted against foreign wars, and the D.C. establishment has attacked her for that repeatedly. In fact, she is currently being targeted by the Democratic establishment for being too antiwar in a time where rampant anti-Russian sentiment is growing. There is a fear of Russia in D.C., and any policy in favor of ending unjust foreign entanglements is viewed as a gift to Russia.

Do not fall for the fear. Fear is the lifeblood of the state and its acolytes. Gabbard is not one of the state’s acolytes. The state fears her. However, Tulsi Gabbard is far from a perfect candidate, but what we need in Washington isn’t someone who aligns with our views 100% of the time. What we need is someone really looking to make a difference. From what I have gathered, Tulsi Gabbard is a consistent, down-to-earth, moral, and politically civil candidate, and for these reasons, she has earned my overwhelming and enthusiastic support.

Unfortunately, in order to qualify for the next round of debates, Tulsi Gabbard​ needs 130,000 unique donors by August 28th. I chipped in a relatively small amount, while also purchasing some campaign gear and signing up as a volunteer, but no matter the size of the donation, it still counts towards the total of 130,000 unique donors. She recently hit 100,000 unique donors, and she needs all the help she can get. Please join me in shaking up the established order. We cannot let endless wars consume our youth and drain our resources. Trillions have been wasted and millions have died. Things need to change, and I am not sure that the ballot box is the place for change, but I do know that change can’t happen without advocates. Tulsi Gabbard is the advocate for positive change in America. Please join me in this journey.
