I wish to state at the outright that I am not a Democrat. I am registered as an Independent. I have followed the Democratic debates because I believe as many do, that our country is facing grave danger in the form of Donald Trump. The impeachment process was thwarted making it imperative that we elect someone truly capable, and who can beat him in the upcoming election. There were so many candidates during the first debates that it was challenging to eliminate those who appeared to be less qualified. After a couple of months several of them began dropping out of the race. I still held great hope for Marianne Williamson, Tom Steyer, and Andrew Lang. Steyer was the only one who saw clearly that global warming is the biggest challenge facing not only our nation, but the entire world. Now we are down to only three candidates, but the third one has been glossed over and swept off into the corner where most people do not realize that she is still in the race. I am speaking of Tulsi Gabbard. When Elizabeth Warren dropped out of the race, we were seemingly left with two old, white, men as our only remaining options.
I am here to tell you that we still have a woman who has not backed down. She is a combat veteran who has a clear understanding of foreign policy. She is young. She is intelligent. She is spiritual. She is more than qualified to serve as our next president. I invite you to listen to this short interview that she did with Fox News: https://youtu.be/0aJM8mEZDgI – and decide for yourself. You can also check out her website: https://www.tulsi2020.com.
It was my generation that made women’s liberation monumental. We still, unfortunately, have a long way to go. How much longer will we allow men to dictate what we can and cannot do? Women, we are strong. The only thing holding us back is our unwillingness to support one another. Let’s come together. Let’s get behind Tulsi and support her campaign. Let’s not allow the men to win, yet again.
