    How is this a surprise to anyone?

    To me, the single most notable thing about Gabbard, from the first moment she sleazed her way onto the national stage, was that she had zero principles. Not just the relative lack and flexibility common to politicians but a complete absence - nothing but a featureless void where whatever passes for principles might be in another politician.

    Am I the only one who noticed that?

      She was vilified by MAGA, and yet the managed to overlook the way they treated her when she got a whiff of how she could benefit

      It’s a disgrace, like that useless fuck Fetterman (don’t get me started on Manchin and Sinema…)

        Exactly.

        She just mouths whatever empty rhetoric fits whatever role she’s currently playing, and to the degree that it doesn’t even seem like she’s lying - more like there’s just a blank space there, into which she slots whatever.

        See - that’s what I thought.

        But this isn’t even the first article I’ve seen that frames it as if Gabbard just suddenly turned to the dark side.
