Tulsi Gabbard, a woman whose whole brand is to stop fighting stupid wars, has finally bowed out of the Presidential primaries and endorsed Joe Biden, i.e. someone who fully supported the completely pointless 2003 invasion of Iraq, as well as a number of other equally moronic military operations.
In a video statement released on Twitter, the part-Hawaiian Congressional Peacenik said:
“Although I may not agree with the vice-president on every issue, I know that he has a good heart, and he’s motivated by his love for our country and the American people. I’m confident that he will lead our country guided by the spirit of aloha, respect and compassion, and thus help heal the divisiveness that has been tearing our country apart.”
Even more surprisingly, she kept a straight face.
This marks a departure from her position in 2016, when she endorsed fellow anti-war candidate Bernie Sanders, someone who opposed the pointless invasion of Iraq.
Even though Bernie is still in the race, Gabbard has clearly made the calculation that Biden is going to win the nomination, and that sucking up to him is the best way to further her career, so fuck her anti-war principles, etc., etc.

She is part of the Rising Tide of Color, and the Democratic Party is their vehicle. It would be odd and idiosyncratic if she put abstract principles ahead of racial power politics.
