The problem is not global warming – it is moral cooling.
She just appeared on the scene and got largely voted in because she's got a lot of Samoan ancestry. Hawaiians always try to vote their own in where they can. She sort of started small and local and just became more and more well known. She went from local politics to state politics to now being a presidential candidate. I don't think she's really running for president ... I think she's just there to destroy the campaigns of a couple of other candidates ... which I wholeheartedly support.
She may end up getting voted out here in Hawaii. She's made a couple of statements which really ticked off the local population. The Hawaiian sovereignty movement is big here and she made a statement which they've been using against her in running opposition candidates. She said that if Hawaiians want to be free of the United States government they should start by not cashing the welfare checks. That didn't go over very well in the poverty stricken areas of Hawaii, which is where most of the Hawaiians live.
A lot of the older Hawaiians approved of that message, but the younger generation didn't and since they're calling for MORE Federal money as reparations ... it has become a problem for her. True or not.
She's a minority from a minority WAY smaller than Kamala Harris, a woman, and very young. But she doesn't support the entire Democratic platform, only some of it. And some of her platform looks like something Ronald Reagan would have said.
She's a moderate Democrat, more a liberal than a progressive. And she's very transparent. She went on the Joe Rogan show and talked about her ideas for three solid hours (now Bernie has done that too). I think she's wrong about a lot of her ideas, but I think she's coming from an honest position on them. She's literally the only candidate I've seen in the race, on either side, who genuinely wants to help her constituents more than to be elected to office.
Great info, I enjoyed reading. I wouldn't have known any of this. Thanks, Miradus!!
P.S. See how much you can learn on TTOL?

My pleasure. I suggest you read up on her a little more if you're interested. The Obama administration HATED her and tried to politically destroy her but she outlasted them. They hated her because she spoke against military adventurism and regime-change and the war machine (military industrial complex). They hated her because she wouldn't vote in lock step with the rest of the Democratic party. She's also been relatively pro-gun, except for a handful of restrictions she supports and I don't.
She's a different breed than the rest of them. Probably someone most of us here wouldn't mind having over for a backyard barbecue. We could probably talk rationally about our political differences ... contrasted with someone like AOC who I imagine would start screaming as soon as I brought out the barbecued sausages or used the wrong pronoun for the roasted pig.
Didn't know any of this with the Obama administration. She sounds like a pretty tough woman. Just look at how she took on Kamala. I know she isn't a Trump fan, but sounds like she's one democrat that he could work with on some issues.
Yeah AOC and the wrong pronoun... I want to see a conversation between Tulsi and "the squad". I'm guessing she thinks they are nuts

She served as a field medic in Iraq ... volunteered for it ... and then got selected for OCS. She's a major in the Hawaiian National Guard and now serves in a unit of military police.
So yeah ... I don't think she's intimidated by Kamala Harris and I think she'd eat the "Squad" ... bunch of irritating mean girls ... for lunch.
