As helpful as she might've been on some issues, remember that she is an anti-2A, WEF globalist.
In other words: far better than any alternative coming out of Hawaii. You don't have to like her in the abstract. You only have to understand how much better she is than other Democrats.
The Right wins when we pull the country to the Right, just as the Left has successfully pulled the country to the Left these past 10 years.
We accomplish this by promoting moderate Democrats, convincing them to switch sides, and dilute Democrat power by shifting the middle of the country to the Right, while also ensuring that in our own bases of power of solid safe red districts, we make damn sure to keep the RINOs out and keep solid conservatives so that the Right still controls a solid majority of the Rs.
There is no gradually moving the regime to the right. It's good that dissident ideas are getting picked up, but that is because they are so undeniable that the managers need to get out in-front to safely redirect them. True change will happen all at once or not at all, and it certainly won't be done by conservatives, who exist purely to conserve leftist victories.
The two-party system we have causes people in the center to alternate between parties. That's why in the midterms (sans cheating) the opposing party gains seats, because only far extremists want full control by their party. The more share of the vote a party gets the more people want to reign them in. So it hovers around 1/2 and 1/2.
Adding moderate candidates doesn't shift anything toward your side it just dilutes your party. You don't start with 50% of the vote as Republican, add 10% moderates and get 60% of the vote. Instead you get 50% of the vote with 5/6ths Republican and 1/6th moderate.
If you want to win in the near term you make a big tent, but if you want to move the country ideologically you need to double down. Instead of celebrating Tulsi Gabbard demand that she get on board the train with 2A, merit, and all the other right ideas.
The system is fake and gay, regardless of the number of parties. Politicians are not chosen by the people to implement policy on behalf of the voters. Politicians are selected for their ability to get themselves elected, then use their office to manufacture the consent of the electorate for policies dictated to the elected officials by the party and their interest groups.
