I agree, except she was a fairly young adult (19-22) and has since become an active supporter of the LGBTQ+ community. From what I understand, she grew up in a very conservative household but her views evolved considerably when she struck out on her own personally and professionally. Which I think says a lot about her character, as well.

EDIT: As for war: Tulsi has stated in interviews that she is a hawk when it comes to fighting terrorism, but a dove when it comes to regime change wars.

Finally, I can't help loving the way Tulsi completely obliterated the hypocritical Kamala Harris in the debate.

I'm not a supporter of her either cause she is only oriented towards that one talking point on regime change wars. Like you said she brings not enough to the table.

I just don't care about her former religious self.

I love Warren also - but I think she is weaker on foreign policy. She is amazing, though, and I would absolutely support Bernie/Warren.

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy

I think it's just a levelling out of the overinvesting in response to the Fed's rate cut from a few weeks ago.
