    It's not Russian propaganda or pro Russia to criticize the Ukrainian government.

    It is indeed Russian propaganda and pro Russia to unquestioningly repeat what Russia says about the Ukrainian government. :async:

    Meanwhile, you might want to look up the definition of "censorship." Hint: Criticism isn't censorship.

    Former Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard announced she left the Democratic Party on Tuesday, denouncing the organization as an "elitist cabal."

    Gabbard, who retired from the House of Representatives in 2021, attacked the institution in a nearly 30-minute video posted to her YouTube account. She did not announce plans to join the Republican Party or adopt any other political affiliation, however.

    "I can no longer remain in today’s Democratic Party that is now under the complete control of an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue & stoke anti-white racism," Gabbard said in an excerpt posted to Twitter.

    She went on to call on other moderate Democrats to follow in her footsteps.

    Elite? Like an Army major who graduated from Hawaii Pacific University?
    Yeah, just because you bootstrapped it, doesn't mean you're not "one of them" now.
    Not how class and excelling works.

    Cabal? No, cabals are secret. You're thinking clique.
    Yes, the political class is a clique. That's what government is.
    And they invited you into the clique. You're a popular girl.
    You can't pretend to be Ally Sheedy anymore.
    You're Molly Ringwald.
    Sorry, Tulsi, if you didn't want to be Molly, you shouldn't have strived.
    Should have slacked.

    Yeah, if we take her bullshit at face value, all it shows a paranoid fear of success.
    Which you'd think wouldn't be a good look.
    But, it's all theater for the rubes.
    Dumb people eat this shit up.
    But they also eat up racist wrestling villains, and monster trucks with dildos on the front.

    Sounds like the Kremlin gave her a raise. Gotta respect that side hustle culture.

    Always funny to see these right wing women advocating for 'traditional' culture dominated by religion and misogyny that will definitely get around to taking away their rights at the earliest opportunity.

    This thread is so great because it reminds us all of when a Russian asset made @Bill Carson cry. Twice

    Didn't take long for her to ally with not only a Trump-licking election denier, but one who has publicly said the best way for women to have a voice about their bodies is for gentlemen in State legislatures to represent them.

    Someone check Gabbard for the Stepford chip. Apparently she was in a cult as a kid, so this might just be a relapse.

    Read on Twitter (paraphrasing):

    Tulsi Gabbard admitting she isn’t a Democrat is as shocking as Trump admitting he doesn’t have a library card.

    She told Rogan she'd be Independent. I'm wondering how long it will take her to join the GOP.

    If she still takes an anti-war stance and still has the same values she had yesterday then so what? Sarah Palin actually said something smart for a change, "stay independent." I agree, don't give the haters any ammo.

    Two posts above yours, she's already campaigning for a Trump-aligned Republican candidate that would rather she just stayed in the kitchen. :async:
