i guess i'm missing the machiavellian plot twist here. should tulsi be ashamed of the fact that countries that prefer to exist support her?

why would you say im surprised? ive been pointing this out for months. whats shocking is tulsi's response. this is a woman with clearance from a military background followed by a highly successful run in government. so when she ignores all of this, allowing the narrative to essentially overwhelm her actual message, its eyebrow raising. the 'shocking' part i suppose is when she responds by exploding like some wine drunk soccer mom, crying about how people are accusing her of treason, instead of calmly pointing out the obvious;

yes, a lot of energy is being spent manipulating her message to damage our democracy, and a lot of it is coming from russia.

but hey, who can blame her for playing the victim card when its working so well? she has a 'bipartisan' cult and a financially promising future on fox news, where she will continue to marginalize moderate left voices while remaining mysteriously silent about the people doing the other 98% of the damage.
i don't understand what you are saying tulsi is doing wrong with respect to russia. she should be saying she's putin's favored candidate? what is tulsi ignoring?

do you think the average american will understand that an anti-warmongering candidate will always be preferable to other countries than a war-mongering one?
