A fish rots from the head down.

Something stinks in the democrat party, I wonder from where the stink wafts.

Consistent, not even once

On which issues specifically?

She worked for an anti-gay group prior to joining the Democrat party, fought for gay and LGBT rights during the 2020 elections, and then did a u-turn to endorse the Don't Say Gay bill in Florida.

She's absolutely all over the place because she is a grifter. She's going where she thinks she will get power.

You just described 98% of the world population who jump from buzzwords to buzzwords thanks to the MSM.

Okay, fair enough. From what I have seen and read about Tulsi, her bread and butter issue has always been foreign policy, on which she has consistently opposed the establishment consensus and still does to this day. Similarly, she has always been opposed to overbearing wokeism in the Democratic party and against corporate power.

Yeah and she's also been cozying up to Fox News by appearing there constantly to bash Democrats on basically everything. It's pretty clear what she's doing lol

Well, the writing has been on the wall for many years, hasn't it? It's been obvious for a long time that there is no political future for Tulsi in this Democratic party and she acted accordingly. Just like Cheney and Kinzinger were staunch Republicans for their entire career until they had their falling out with Trump and now happily act as useful idiots for Pelosi and actively endorse Democrats in various midterm races. Cheney is even set to pull off a vanity presidential run in 2024 which is actually just a grift and intended to raise her profile. If you can't see the analogy to Tulsi's 2020 run, I can't help you.

Tulsi Gabbard is a populist who stood up for common working people, like Bernie Sanders did, but without allowing the corporate elite to stick their hands up her butt and puppeteer her like Bernie did.
Its not Tulsi's fault that between 2016 and 2022, the Democrats have fully cast off the remnants of being the once-populist party that supported blue collar folks.

A few years ago being against jingoistic warmongering, being against a police state weaponized against domestic political dissidents and being against trans radicals trying to tear down Title IX would have made you a progressive democrat.

Tulsi has fundamentally realligned her politics several times in just the past two election cycles.

Cheney is a Republican trying to out the extreme elements in her party and restore some semblence of respect for Democracy. Once that's done, she's gonna continue voting in-line with Republican neoconservatives (as if she ever stopped). Cheney is also getting toasted in her party for going against them on the election denier stuff and not policy, whereas Tulsi is actively realigning herself against the policy interests of her party.

These are only similar if you look at the surface level and ignore the actual substance, which you tend to do in these situations.
