My point is that you're wrong. Tulsi has been building a strong grassroots campaign before the debate. She wasn't a nobody.

Also your statement, "The NY mayor and Jay Inslee only got more time (seconds of it) because they were more actively looking for it." wasn't correct either. See above. 

Tulsi was a nobody when you compare her to Warren, Booker, Castro, etc. You knew about her well but the vast majority of America didn’t. That’s a fact.

And that’s my bad on the second part. I looked at a different graph online that had the speaking time up to a certain point. But that just refutes your claim of NBC purposely avoiding her. She got more airtime than 3 other candidates that were relatively obscure in the polls.

Alot of people who are a "nobody" got to speak alot in that debate and this is a debate to allow everyone speak, not about popularity.

Yes, I understand that but the reality is Gabbard got a comparable amount of time to speak when you look at the rest of the unlikelys. It’s not fair to say she was specifically singled out because of her views. The truth is she didn’t get as much airtime as other prominent candidates because up until yesterday she was just excess fat that was going to be trimmed along with Inslee, Ryan, Delaney, and De Blasio.

Yes all these people got to speak alot. They also ignored her like she did not exist during her campaign. The DNC also sent her an email attacking her for supporting Bernie.

If those four people “got to speak a lot”, then so did Gabbard. 

They are ignoring her during the campaign like they are ignoring all the others polling at a very low percentage. If she gets more support, she will start getting more attention.

Also why did they try to speak Spanish? As a Mexican American voter it didn’t make the candidates seem more invested in me. It made them seem fake as hell. The only one who would get a pass on that is Castro because he actually grew up speaking the language and it’s a core part of his identity. 

Bernie and Kamala won’t pull this **** (probably) but I’m mentally preparing myself to hear Biden tell me to vote for him in Spanish tomorrow.  :saladga:

ALSO. Jay Inslee I appreciate the firm stance on climate change but BOI GET YOUR ASS BACK TO WASHINGTON (STATE) WHERE IT BELONGS AND DEAL WITH OUR HOMELESS CRISIS.

yeah why did they ?  stop the cultural appropriation .

Gabbard got more airtime than them apparently. And again, she wasn’t singled out. You’re just hopped up on conspiracy theories you watch on YouTube. The DNC sending her an email doesn’t relate to the airtime she got. And btw those conspiracy videos that you’re always sharing have a specific agenda to make money off of people like you. They literally have a greater incentive to deceit people with their content to keep clicks coming in and they don’t have to worry about being held accountable for misdirections.

Here's another poll on top of the Drudge Report poll. Take it for what you will. Looks like Tulsi is doing a great job. Don't underestimate her.

*Joe Biden cackles* 

In a related note, I would LOVE to see Tulsi take on Biden. Someone has to.

Finally have time to watch the debate.

I mean I appreciate that they all want to speak the language that such a huge part of their population speaks, but it felt so cringey... I don't know.

Beto was bad imo. Everything he said felt so rehearsed and calculated.
