I was in love with Tulsi politically until the Biden endorsement. Unemployed, donated to her many, many times. But she's been dead to me ever since and, ultimately, proves that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE POLS has a price. Even the Tulsis. Even the Lincolns and Kennedys. The price is Silver. Or Lead.

I was in love with Tulsi politically until the Biden endorsement. Unemployed, donated to her many, many times. But she's been dead to me ever since and, ultimately, proves that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE POLS has a price. Even the Tulsis. Even the Lincolns and Kennedys. The price is Silver. Or Lead. The ancien regime is just irredeemably corrupt and I leave it with Thomas Jefferson: "The Tree of Liberty must from time to time be watered by the blood of Patriots and Tyrants."
Yeah this kind of thinking is why liberals and progressives and the left are a little people, a silly people, greedy, barbarous, and cruel. That's right. I just called them early 20th century Bedouin.
My understanding is that the Biden "endorsement" was perfunctory, the one thing standing between living to fight another day and being financially/legally/etc. destroyed. You know, the way they are now doing to Trump and co.
I could only imagine. After all, they started full-on smear campaign in MSM against her when she was barely starting in the presidential primaries. It was kind of funny, as if "insignificant candidate" merits attack-dog op-eds in NYT.
Remember when Bari Weiss referred to Tulsi as an "Assad Toddie" on the Joe Rogan show?
Didn't seem to hurt her career any. I hear Bari went on to become quite popular here on Substack as a defender of the status quo. There's always more work for the conventional and mediocre. I think of her as the David Brooks of Substack.
Please keep your guns in the gun rack and don’t attempt to hang or threaten politicians or anyone else. That Jeffersonian quote is being used far too often for my liking.
On the contrary. Watch "The Baader-Meinhoff Complex" and read the works of the Red Army Faction. It's only people with private property who will suffer, and who cares for them?
My point is that even if we get someone good in there, the machine will remove them by whatever means necessary. Read up on Huey Long, you'll see how the 'Lead' was out in the open, as members of the upper caste routinely discussed getting rid of the Kingfish. And then they did.
Sadly, I think you are right. The rot is just too deep, and there are no negative feedbacks in the control loop to self-correct the US political system to even keel. Few (somewhat) bright spots here and there won't change much, and even those are tarnished, like Tulsi.

If Gabbard's error there makes her an outcast untouchable, I wonder:
where do you go? with whom are you left?

The Tree is incredibly thirsty today.

The longer we wait before something like that happens, the worse it is going to be when it does inevitably happen. It's already way overdue.
What’s “already way overdue”? A full-blooded insurrection?? Get some help.
