Tulsi Gabbard came out swinging in her campaign announcement speech. She's the devil coming for the disembodied heads the Olde Guard.
Be afraid, Corporate America, be very, very afraid.

The media machine is already out to destroy Gabbard. As soon as her run was announced it was like a switch was flipped.
Even liberal media boutiques went from portraying Gabbard as this unorthodox liberal but natural leader with a bright future to a flawed weirdo longshot.
I guess the lesson from 2016 is for the media to anoint the DNC chosen one. And that's Kamala Harris.
The whole primary thing is bullshit thuggery. I was reading about delegates already being committed to Harris. Political rags portraying Harris as the new face of the DNC.
There's no way this landscape of candidates will be primaried fairly. By that I mean vetting the best candidate for the country and the best candidate against Trump or whatever GOP candidate.
I can't even imagine the DNC allowing Harris and Gabbard to face off. They'll probably do the debates in two tiers and Harris will debate Biden and Gillibrand and in round two Gabbard will debate some guy in a bear costume.
And Harris will go into the grist mill of the general election. And everyone will delight because she's Hillary 2.0. And we'll have a Democratic loss by a dozen electoral votes...
... and the Tulsi Gabbard fans will be like "told you so". Just like the Bernie fans in 2016.
Gabbard on a ticket excites people. She's not going to run on her gender. None of this glass ceiling shit. It's my turn now. She'll run on actual principles and tell people they're Russia's bitch.
Harris will depress people. Hillary 2.0. Same weak politics. Hard loads from corporate interests. Faux progressive. Identity politics.

@CopperCicada I noticed that there are some negative stories about Bernie doing the rounds just as its believed he is about yo announce he is running.
Coincidence?😉

@Burnley123 The conservative yarn is that the media has "liberal bias". I would say that it has "establishment bias". Any candidate who colors too far outside the lines is torpedoed as a matter of course. Sanders and Gabbard are being sabotaged in advance of the primary because the DNC can't afford a split in the left like 2016. But this also happens on the right. TrumpCorp (TM) wants 2020 to be a big frat party and cuddle fest for Trump, and candidates like Kasich and Corker are invisible. Pay $$, create reality. Woot.
