Tulsi doesn't suffer from professional progressive activist syndrome, doesn't pander on identity crap, yet wants to deliver all the big-ticket progressive policy items. Also far more incisive on foreign policy than most self-styled Progressives™ ... seems like the right mix

Earnestly: one of your most baffling qualities is that you can be incisive on overall political analysis (noting, for instance, that Sanders is failing to deliver a youth turnout surge, and that Biden is surging) and then you also champion a candidate with zero popular support

My "championing" of Tulsi has never been on the ground that I expected her to win a majority of delegates in the Democratic primaries

No but you often make the case that she's electable or a unifier and like, that is empirically not true! And I know you can see that!

Exactly. There's a difference between saying that Tulsi has the best policies (which anyone is free to believe) and saying she can unify the party (which, given her unfavorable numbers, is patently absurd).

Where did I say she can “unify the party” as if that concept exists in some kind of vacuum? I’ve said that she has unique assets which could make her valuable in a general election context

That was an addendum advocating for Tulsi as Bernie VP
