Leaders shouldn't be puzzles.
I went back and looked at what I've written about Tulsi. No less than 17 items, a rough road of hills and valleys, a tangled struggle with yes and no. That's better! That's worse! Bye, Tulsi! Hi, Tulsi! DO YOUR FUCKING JOB, TULSI!
Summing up, a leader must be a DECIDER. A leader shouldn't be a philosophical puzzle. A leader is supposed to LEAD. A leader is supposed to present a CLEAR set of principles and a CLEAR set of actions that IMPLEMENT THE PRINCIPLES.
Tulsi offers ONE clear principle, which is the most important principle right now. STOP WAR. Because she's currently in Congress, she has the opportunity to show how her DECISIONS implement the principle. But she fails. She has voted for war more often than against; and her vote on impeachment was an intentional NON-DECISION. Powerless people can and should refuse to participate in fake decisions. Powerful people must DECIDE. If she thought impeachment was a bad idea, the only correct DECISION was to vote against impeachment, not to stay neutral.
