Thanks mccoy you have posted Tulsi Gabbards opinion. Do you have opinions of your own? Anyone can list long opinions others have, it takes more thought and contemplation to express your own on each detail of those of others. If you like her as much as I have let us hear your opinions on her views. She is not here at this time for me to respond to her. But you are...
Steve, my opinion is that Mrs. Gabbard is surely qualified to raise some objections and criticism toward politicians since she has been part of that group for years and knows details we don't know. She was also part of the military complex, which she criticizes sometimes harshly, sure the monetary interests there are vast.
Of course, we must assume that she's not considerably biased. Also, some of her reasonings may have inherent flaws or better may stress one specific aspect more than others.
The opinions of my own, you already know them I think. I was very disappointed by Professor Obama, especially so since I believed everything he wrote on his book (The Audacity of hope). And the same Mrs. Gabbard says she and many other people have been deeply disappointed with Obama, even though for reasons I didn't know.
She harshly criticizes Mr. Biden for a series of reasons. And I criticize Mr. Biden for all the reasons his political adversaries criticized his government, most of which are common sense reasons. By common sense, I mean logical and pragmatic reasons.
Our Guru was the quintessential pragmatic man and he would have flinched horrendously for some of the concepts Biden's government supported. Wokism. Defund the police. Compliance and facilitation of transgender proclivities even in young boys and girls. Open borders to everyone. Showing extremely weak in some military theaters, like Afghanistan, whereas showing a strong desire to escalate in other theaters, like Russia vs. Ukraine. Deliberate strategies to suppress freedom of speech. These are my opinions, which reflect in part the opinions of Mrs. Gabbard.
In the end, and I'm happy we agree on this, Mrs. Gabbard seems to be a balanced voice, moved by Karma Yoga and not (apparently) personal gain or greed for power and this is a fundamental aspect, whatever her political outlook may be.
