Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard has introduced a bill demanding that the United States ends its funding of terrorist groups such as ISIS and al-Nusra
http://www.veteranstoday.com/2017/06/13/tulsi-gabbard-introduces-stop-arming-terrorists-act/
>"The CIA has also been funneling weapons and money through Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and others who provide direct and indirect support to groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda,” Gabbard stated on the House floor last week."
>“The CIA has long been supporting a group called Fursan al Haqq, providing them with salaries, weapons, and support, including surface to air missiles. This group is cooperating with and fighting alongside an al-Qaeda affiliated group trying to overthrow the Syrian government. The Levant Front is another so-called moderate umbrella group of Syrian opposition fighters. Over the past year, the United States has been working with Turkey to give this group intelligence support and other forms of military assistance. This group has joined forces with al-Qaeda’s offshoot group in Syria.
>“This madness must end. We must stop arming terrorists. The Government must end this hypocrisy and abide by the same laws that apply to its’ citizens.”
>"Hillary Clinton and the Obama administration are well aware of the support the Gulf states have provided to ISIS.

Why do left and right wingers alike seem to favor Tulsi?
Piratin' ain't a spook, comrade!
>>129777509
Exterminate the right first!

Humanism is a failed ideology and will soon be extinct.
Short and long term goals
>Divide democratic party voters, sow as much dislike as possible towards antifa, Hillary Clinton, the DNC, and SJWs, create a clear line between the establishment and the anti-establishment
>Elevate the 2020 presidential campaign of Tulsi Gabbard, the only politician in the US who has consistently opposed the meddling of the US and Israel in the Middle East regardless if it was a republican or a democrat doing it
>Reclaim the DNC from the weasels currently running it or split a third party off of it
>Further undermine and derail the Tories, keep Theresa May as their face and prevent a smart replacement. Elect Corbyn to protect internet freedom and distance the UK from Israel and its games
>Continue dissociating Trump from the alt-right, categorize him with the neoconservatives and Hillary, keep the slow burn going until /pol/ is massively anti-Trump and ready to vote for Gabbard
>Form a strategic merging of sorts between the alt-left and the alt-right behind Tulsi Gabbard with common goals and common enemies, ideally bringing the Berniecrats and identitarians together under the same cause
>Split the left/right paradigm, bring half of both together to form a majority that leaves out the cuckservatives and the SJWs as fringe groups
>Elect all kinds of third party candidates, whether they are green or libertarian doesn't matter

She's not a party player. Despite being a democrat officially, she has more potent and notable criticism of the democratic party than any republican does. She criticized Trump, Hillary, Bush, and Obama for all the same reasons of supporting terrorism and instability in the Middle East.
Additionally, her policies are rather centrist and palatable to many people on both sides. It's just the party leadership of both sides that is vehemently against her.

We stand behind you ready to strike whenever.
How is any of those points leftist? I guess education and global diplomacy could belong there, but all the others?

How can Trump compete?
