This reminds me of Bernie getting blocked from the Democratic Nomination. Tulsi has long ago met the unique donor requirements. She has met the polling requirements in 26 polls, some rated as rigorous as the selected ones, but has to qualify in 4 polls conducted by the polling in a certain DNC "certified" list. This data shows that that list is not releasing poll results lately. She clearly added value in the second debate and raised important questions. Why shut her out of the main platform candidates ideas are displayed?
Go Kamala!
I am waiting for Kamala's response to what Tulsi said in the second debate. They gave her time on stage and all these weeks have passed, and no answer. She instead started a smear campaign against Tusli's patriotism, who as a part of the Military, put her life on the line in Iraq. Kamala was included in this poll, but did not do so well. https://us.teamblind.com/s/bhaMq6Tm If updated polls were released, Kamala may not do as well as back around the time of the first debate.
You're a Kamala hater?
She's not polling in the top 5 in any polls. It's time for the hanger ons to drop out
I see the debates as 1- a way to demonstrate their platform 2- see how candidates handle themselves against debate under pressure 3- raise important, less talked about issues. The first debate was poor in having very skewed time allocation and some candidates got about 1-2 minuted total to speak. I think Tulsi has been strong in #3 about Climate Change, Crimal Justice Reform, Foreign Relations and military, and even corrected Tim Ryan (12 years on the Armed Services committee) about who we were fighting and who attacked us on 911. I am not satisfied when I see ballots with two people on them, making it look like you have a choice, and you don't even like the remaining choices, but the process knocks out good candidates before they get enough exposure. The screen shot of the number of cerified polls released list shows that the candidates for the third debate were practically decided prior to the second debate, by design.
That's a fair point but we've already had two debates with her. It's time to start digging into the candidates that poll meaningfully.
Typical corrupt DNC
Rules are rules and it's 2 percent. If you can't consistently get 2% you don't belong to there.
Plus they are not allowing a debate on climate change. > DNC votes 222-137 against allowing candidates to participate in climate debate
What vote was that? Do you have a link?
My top president picks may be lost now. My second choice is not moving. 1. Tulsi Gabbard 2. Donald Trump 3. Joe Biden 4. Bernie Sanders
She has over 20+ polls, but they aren't from the "qualifying" aka billionaire controlled corporate media like nbc and CNN. If antiwar candidates cut off the military industrial complex, billionaires suffer. They are doing the same thing to her they did to Ron Paul and Bernie
There are lots of parallel with Ron Paul. They were military, she still is as she first enlisted in 2003 after having being Representative for Hawaii back in 2002. Wanting to get out of unnecessary wars, while she keeps mentioning we are spending 4 billion a month in Afghanistan, some people are making all that money in weapons and selling overpriced items to the military. They will back the war mongerers. She does seem to attract libertarians. Rob Paul did interview favoring Tulsi as the best candidate.
She is a one issue candidate, same as Yang, not enough exciting enough.
Far from one issue. You may not see as much in the media. She was a Representative for Hawaii from back in 2002. 1,161 Legislation sponsored or cosponsored by Tulsi Gabbard. You only get so much time on these debates, only a few minutes total, which is why I think she should be in at least the third debate. She was former Vice Chair of the DNC and resigned because they rigged the last primary. https://www.congress.gov/member/tulsi-gabbard/G000571

Tulsi is the only democrat candidate I support Rest all of them are race hustlers or too Socialists for my liking
- The polling criteria was doubled from that previouly announced in February. - of 16 certified polling organization, 4 polls over 4 weeks? So at least 12 of them have released 🤫 0 polls since the second debate The requirements posted February, which Tulsi has qualified for, has since been doubled. https://democrats.org/news/dnc-announces-details-for-the-first-two-presidential-primary-debates/
