As the official start to the Democratic primary season gets closer, Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) has been shining under the spotlight in speeches and in interviews. This week was no exception, going bridge and knocking them out of the ballpark.
What has been great about Gabbard, unlike most of her opponents, is that she is not afraid of appearing on conservative media.
Here is a clip of her on “Firing Line” (contrast that interview with AOC’s disastrous appearance) talking about Bashar al-Assad:

Here is a speech that her campaign, unfortunately, deleted for whatever reason:
Here is an appearance that got her into a lot of trouble because she refused to deliver remarks that were directly geared towards women, choosing to instead speak as if everyone was the same (see Tom Woods’s comments below):
Meanwhile, the Twitter account for the “Women’s March” had this to say about antiwar candidate Tulsi Gabbard:
So Tulsi is to be lectured to about how to answer that question.
Maybe she thinks ending the empire is obviously beneficial to everyone? Or are we to believe that “women of color” are so particularly attached to war that they need some kind of special appeal in order to understand the moral problem involved?
Doesn’t crap like this remind you of why politics makes you crazy?
The agorists have it right: there are two spheres, politics and the market, and they have nothing to do with each other. Their principles are 100 percent opposed to each other.
If only Rep. Gabbard read Mises.org once in a while!

The one good note about Tulsi Gabbard is that she doesn’t toe the line of the rest of the Democrats running for President in 2020.
She is against the war in Syria.
She is against the idea of breaking down society into minutely small and distinct sub-groups, just to create a special program for each.
And best of all: She’s a breath of fresh air in Washington.
