Yet Tulsi Gabbard, the anti-war, anti-interventionist Democratic presidential candidate, who should be the darling of every progressive, has virtually disappeared not only from the debate stage, but from the news cycle as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">During Super Tuesday, the Iraq War veteran managed to pick up two delegates, which, under previous terms would have qualified her to participate, alongside Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden, in future Democratic debates on the road to the November elections. As predicted, however, the DNC changed the rules mid-game.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The DNC has banned the only woman left from the next Democrat debate.\u00a0 I don\u2019t hear any complaints from the same women \u2014 Warren, Harris, Pelosi, et al \u2014 accusing \u201cthe country\u201d of sexism.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0DMVbMeLYp\">https:\/\/t.co\/0DMVbMeLYp<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Mark R.

By the time we have the March debate, almost 2,000 delegates will be allocated. The threshold will reflect where we are in the race, as it always has.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Since then, the DNC has ruled that candidates must get at least 20 percent of the delegates as of March 15. Gabbard\u2019s two delegates don\u2019t meet this requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Had Hinojosa and the Democratic Party elite reflected a bit longer about \u201cwhere we are in the race,\u201d however, they may have come around to a different conclusion. Like, for example, is it really the best optics to have two geriatric white male contenders steal the show from an upstart female who, having witnessed the atrocities of war firsthand, has acquired a soft spot for peace in the Middle East.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It\u2019s just not the DNC elite, however, that is preventing Gabbard from participation. Even before Super Tuesday, CNN had seriously hampered any chance Gabbard may have had in getting her message out by refusing her an invitation to the (CNN sponsored) town halls.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m in Manchester, New Hampshire, where <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TulsiGabbard?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TulsiGabbard<\/a> is holding a demonstration against <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CNN?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CNN<\/a> for excluding her from a series of town halls despite polling higher in NH than other candidates in the race. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/A5udL4jQDZ\">pic.twitter.com\/A5udL4jQDZ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Andres Del Aguila (@Andres_DAguila) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Andres_DAguila\/status\/1225155664449765376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 5, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">That move on the part of America\u2019s first 24-hour news channel, founded forty years ago this year by Ted Turner, was unconscionable considering that Gabbard had been polling at the top among New Hampshire voters.

Not a peep from them as a rich white male, the epitome of the patriarchy, paid his way into the process ahead of a much more deserving female contender.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In his 1957 book \u2018America as a Civilization,\u2019 journalist Max Lerner described a liberal as someone who has \u201c<em>a passion for battle \u2013 against the \u2018octopus\u2019 of the big corporations\u2026 for wage-and-hour legislation, for women\u2019s rights, for social security<\/em>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Those individuals who call themselves \u2018Liberals\u2019 are fighting for a raft of radically different issues, few of which could be confused with what Lerner was speaking about.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Today, the masses are receiving an education courtesy of the \u2018woke\u2019 industry on things they never realized they needed educated about, like the nuances of acceptable pronoun usage, for example, or the importance of open toilets (regardless of biological sex) and open borders for everyone (regardless of legal status).
