She has it right, "I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party that is under control of an elitist cabal of warmongers who are driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue and stoke anti-white racism, actively work to undermine our Ggod-given freedoms.  Who are hostile to people of fath and spirituality, who demonize the police and protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, who believe in open borders, weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents, and dragging us even closer to nuclear war.

This was well said and true, just maybe others will follow and end this, she is right on!

"(George) Wallace proclaimed, "There's not a dime's worth of difference between the Democrat and Republican parties," a line that he had first used in 1966, when his first wife, Lurleen Burns Wallace, ran successfully for governor against the Republican James D. Martin."

Trump changed that stereotype. But, being a nut-job, his change in the Republican Party made Joe Biden electable and ultimately POTUS. Will his hand on the tiller run the GOP completely aground? Or will the GOP schism into actual conservative Republicans and the Looney Tune Trumpists, who are not Republican at all, except in the occasional coincidence.

Perhaps the Mar a Lago Moron has done for his career what he did for the Donald J. Trump Foundation? Embezzled and wasted its' assets....

But- good for LTC Gabbard. Always somebody I respected.

In news that will be deeply distressing to her supporter, Tulsi Gabbard, the former lawmaker from Hawaii whose total flameout in the 2020 presidential primary led her to look for any shreds of political relevance she could find in right-wing culture wars, announced she was leaving the Democratic Party on Tuesday.

In a video posted to Twitter in which she parroted right-wing talking points on crime, wokeness, and “anti-white racism,” Gabbard said she was leaving the Democratic Party and instead hosting a new self-titled YouTube show.

“If you can no longer stomach the direction that so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, I invite you to join me,” Gabbard said.

For good measure, her message also included what appeared to be veiled antisemitism and QAnon references in which she said the party was “under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers” that “weaponize the national security state to go after political opponents.”

Gabbard also sounded positively Trumpian in the first 28-minute episode of her show, accusing Democrats of rejecting the rule of law and turning the country into a “banana republic” — seemingly ignoring all the evidence that Trump and his Republican allies have consistently sought to undermine that bedrock principle of democracy. (In 2019, she was the only member of Congress to stay neutral by voting “present” at Trump’s first impeachment.)

The reality is that Gabbard, who represented Hawaii’s 2nd Congressional District from 2013 to 2021, had long since drifted to the right on a variety of issues.

In 2020, she decided to use the final days of her time as a lawmaker openly signaling the beginnings of her right-wing shift, trying to restrict abortion and attacking transgender women and girls.

Since leaving office, she has slammed President Joe Biden for calling out Republican attacks on voting and has railed against his former signature domestic policy law known as “Build Back Better” as furthering a “cradle-to-grave mentality of government dependence.”

She has also compared so-called cancel culture to ISIS terrorism and has encouraged Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to go even further with his “Don’t Say Gay” law. (While courting Democratic voters in 2019, Gabbard apologized for her past conservative views on LGBTQ issues, including on marriage equality, but I guess that’s old news now.)

This year, she was also a speaker at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Florida, where she told the crowd she felt “right at home.”

In January, the left-leaning British magazine New Statesman even called her “a dark-horse contender for the 2024 GOP nomination.”

At the end of an interview last November on Fox News, far-right Trump acolyte Sean Hannity seemed already satisfied with Gabbard’s political transition to the right.

“You don’t sound like a Democrat to me,” he told her. “I hereby — raise your right hand — you’re definitely a conservative.”

“Always a pleasure, Sean,” Gabbard responded.

All my life I have believed the one big job the federial government has is to insure that all of us regardless of race, sex, religion and even location has a equal opportunity to reach our goals.  At one time that was a major part of both political parties, not anymore.  The democrats have moved so radically to the left that the "outcome" is the main goal.  Looking at major democratic cities, does equal outcome mean we all live in tents, eat out of trash cans and shit on the sidewalk.  I totally understand why a real democratic would leave the party.

it all stared when they stopped keeping scores for kids, and everybody now gets a trophy.  Now days you get a passing grade at school, even if you don't turn in your home work.  Soon you will be told what to drive, where to work and live, and of course how much you make.  Socialism to Marxist, what ever you want to call it has taken over the Democratic Party.  Tulsi Gabbard has not drifted to the right, the left has drifted way to far to the left.  Read what she said again, because she is truthful at what the left has become.

At one time that was a major part of both political parties, not anymore. 

So- you are an enabler, a quitter. Fight or stop whining.

Crowbot,

You are anything but a conservative.

Keep your advice to yourself, or shout it from the rooftops. we don't care . 
you posture snd pose,

but you're nothing but a paid muckraker and shill for the left.

and a 

useful idiot
