Political Positions [draft edits to existing § intro]

edit

Gabbard criticizes what she calls the "neoliberal/neoconservative war machine" for U.S. involvement in "counterproductive, wasteful foreign wars", saying they have not made the United States any safer,[1] and for starting a New Cold War and nuclear arms race.[2] Gabbard is widely portrayed as an apologist for America's enemies and has been accused of being a "Russian asset".[3] When asked about her coverage in the mainstream media, Gabbard has said "We have seen for a long time how the mainstream media has been complicit in further pushing and pursuing the foreign policy establishment narrative."[4]

Gabbard's views on Islamic terrorism distinguish her from mainstream Democrats. In 2016, she spoke out against Islamism, "a radical political ideology of violent jihad" shared by ISIS and Al-Qaeda "aimed at establishing a totalitarian society governed by … a particular interpretation of Islam.”[5] Gabbard has said she is mindful that most Muslims are not extremist, but criticized the Obama administration for refusing to say that "Islamic extremists" are waging a war against the United States.[6][7][8]

She has said "When it comes to the war against terrorists, I'm a hawk", but "when it comes to counterproductive wars of regime change, I'm a dove,"[9][10][11][12][13][14] and has spoken in favor of a "very limited use of drones" in situations where the "military is not able to get in without creating an unacceptable level of risk."[15]

Drug policy and criminal justice reform [draft edits to existing §]

edit

Gabbard has been outspoken against a "broken criminal justice system" that "favors the rich and powerful and punishes the poor."[16] and puts "people in prison for smoking marijuana" while allowing pharmaceutical corporations responsible for "opioid-related deaths of thousands to walk away scot-free with their coffers full".[17][18][19] Gabbard said that as president she would "end the failed war on drugs, legalize marijuana, end cash bail, and ban private prisons".[20]

In 2018, she co-sponsored the First Step Act as a first step toward "comprehensive criminal justice reform, … greater sentencing reform, and [to] eradicate the private prison industry."[21] In 2019, She introduced the Ending Federal Marijuana Prohibition Act and the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act.[22]

In 2020, Gabbard called for legalizing and regulating all drugs, citing Portugal's model for drug decriminalization[23] and introduced legislation to allow Armed Services members to use products containing CBD and other hemp derivatives.[24][25]

Environment [draft edits to existing §]

edit

In 2012, Gabbard received the Sierra Club Hawaii Chapter's endorsement in the Democratic primary election for Congress.[26] In 2016, she protested construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline near the Standing Rock and Cheyenne River Indian Reservations in North Dakota.[27][28][29][30]

In 2017, Gabbard introduced the Off Fossil Fuels for a Better Future Act ("OFF Act")[31] to transition the United States to clean renewable energy.[32][33] In 2018, Gabbard spoke in favor of a Green New Deal, which at the time was a draft resolution to eliminate fossil fuel use from the economy within a decade. In February 2019, she expressed concerns about the vagueness of the version of the Green New Deal proposed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY-14) and Ed Markey (D-MA), saying "I do not support 'leaving the door open' to nuclear power unless and until there is a permanent solution to the problem of nuclear waste"[34] and so did not co-sponsor the legislation.[35]

Gabbard successfully passed an amendment to the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act that would require the Department of Energy to reexamine the safety of the Runit Dome, a leaking Cold War era nuclear waste site in the Marshall Islands.[36]

GMO labeling [draft edits to existing §]

edit

In 2013, Gabbard sponsored legislation to require GMO labeling.[37][38] In 2015, she criticized the Safe and Accurate Food Labeling Act, saying it merely creates "an illusion of transparency."[39] In 2016, she voted against a GMO-labeling bill, saying it was too weak.[40]

Healthcare [draft edits to existing §]

edit

Gabbard supports a national healthcare insurance program that covers uninsured, as well as under-insured people, and allows supplemental private insurance. She calls this program, loosely modeled after Australia's system, "Single Payer Plus".[41][42][43][44] In Gabbard's view, "If you look at other countries in the world who have universal health care, every one of them has some form of a role for private insurance."[45][46] In 2019, she cosponsored House Resolution 1384, Medicare for All Act of 2019, a bill that would allow private insurance.[47][48]

LGBT issues [some minor edits in last two ¶¶ to existing §]

edit

In 1998, then-teenage Gabbard supported her father's successful campaign to amend the Constitution of Hawaii to give lawmakers the power to limit marriage to opposite-sex couples.[49][50] The "Alliance for Traditional Marriage" spent more than $100,000 opposing same-sex marriage.[51] In her campaign for the Hawaii legislature in 2002, Gabbard emphasized her role in getting a constitutional amendment passed that made same-sex marriage illegal in Hawaii, and vowed to "bring that attitude of public service to the legislature."[52][49] Until 2004 she voted and lobbied against same-sex marriage in Hawaii. She publicly apologized for that position in 2012.[53] She apologized again after launching her presidential campaign in 2019.[54][50]

As a Hawaii state legislator in 2004, Gabbard argued against civil unions, saying: "To try to act as if there is a difference between 'civil unions' and same-sex marriage is dishonest, cowardly, and extremely disrespectful to the people of Hawaii who have already made overwhelmingly clear our position on this issue. ... As Democrats, we should be representing the views of the people, not a small number of homosexual extremists."[55][56] She opposed Hawaii House Bill 1024, which would have established legal parity between same-sex couples in civil unions and married straight couples, and led a protest against the bill outside the room where the House Judiciary Committee held the hearing.[57] The same year, she opposed research on students' sexuality[58] and asserted that existing harassment figures indicate that Hawaii's schools were "not rampant with anti-gay harassment".[59]

In 2012, Gabbard apologized for her "anti-gay advocacy"[54] and said she would "fight for the repeal" of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA).[53] In June 2013, she was an initial cosponsor of the legislation to repeal DOMA.[60] After launching her presidential campaign in 2019, she apologized again and said that her views had been changed by her experience in the military "with LGBTQ service members, both here at home and while deployed".[61] She has been a member of the House LGBT Equality Caucus during her first,[62] third,[63] and fourth[64] terms in Congress, and received an 84% rating in her fourth term[65] (after receiving 100%, 88% and 92% in her previous three terms) for pro-LGBT legislation from the Human Rights Campaign, a group that advocates for LGBT rights.[66]

In December 2020, Gabbard and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK-2) introduced the "Protect Women's Sports Act" to provide Title IX protections on the basis of an individual's biological sex. If passed, the bill would effectively ban many transgender athletes from participating in programs corresponding with their gender identity.[67][68][69] Gabbard received backlash from LGBT organizations and activists after introducing the bill.[70]

In April 2022, Gabbard endorsed Florida's Parental Rights Bill, popularly dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill by its opponents, which forbids discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in public school classrooms for kindergarten through third grade. Gabbard stated the bill "bans government and government schools from indoctrinating woke sexual values in our schools to a captive audience." She also suggested the bill should apply to all grades.[71][72][73]

[where to put?]

edit

Gabbard is widely portrayed as an apologist for America's enemies and has been accused of being a "Russian asset".[74]When asked about her coverage in the mainstream media, Gabbard has said "We have seen for a long time how the mainstream media has been complicit in further pushing and pursuing the foreign policy establishment narrative."[75]

[intro para from pol pos page]

edit

During Tulsi Gabbard's tenure as a congresswoman and presidential candidate, she placed much emphasis on her foreign policy views and regarded them as inseparable from her domestic policy views. She criticizes what she terms the "neoliberal/neoconservative war machine", which pushes for US involvement in "wasteful foreign wars". She has said that the money spent on war should be redirected to serve health care, infrastructure, and other domestic priorities. Nevertheless, she describes herself as both a hawk and a dove: "When it comes to the war against terrorists, I'm a hawk", but "when it comes to counterproductive wars of regime change, I'm a dove."[76][77][78][79][80][81]

Domestic policy intro

edit

Gabbard's domestic policy platform in her 2020 presidential campaign was economically and socially progressive.[82][83][84] After the presidential campaign, she agreed with Republicans on some cultural and social issues.[85]

Regime change

edit

The Intercept has described her as "an outspoken critic of U.S. involvement in the Middle East."[86]

India

edit

FROM POL POS PAGE

Gabbard supports a strong US-India relationship "of mutual respect … for many reasons—not the least of which is the war against terrorists."[87] Critics charge that she is too close to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and to the ruling Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).[88] She has met with officials from both the BJP and the major opposition party, Indian National Congress,[89][90] and has disputed claims she is partial to any political party in India.[91][87]

Gabbard was critical of the U.S. decision to deny Modi a visa over allegations of his involvement in the 2002 Gujarat riots, calling it a "great blunder" that could have undermined the U.S.-India relationship. In 2013 she joined some of her colleagues on the House Foreign Affairs Committee in opposing a House resolution that called for continuing the ban on Modi and for "religious freedom and related human rights to be included in the United States-India Strategic Dialogue and for such issues to be raised directly with federal and state Indian government officials". The bill admonished India to protect "the rights and freedoms of religious minorities" and specifically mentioned incidents of mass violence against India's Muslim minority that took place during Modi's tenure.[92] Gabbard, in opposing the resolution expressed "grave concerns" that the resolution would weaken the friendship between India and the US considering its timing as intended to interfere in the Indian elections, while emphasizing the need for the U.S. to stand for religious freedom "for all people in all countries".[93][94]

In January 2019 The Intercept published an article stating that Gabbard had links with Hindu nationalist organization Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America and the Hindu American Foundation.[95] Gabbard rejected the idea that meeting with a democratically elected leader was evidence of collusion with that leader's party. An earlier version of The Intercept's article searched Gabbard's donor list for "names ... of Hindu origin" to "show Gabbard's broad base of support in the Hindu-American community".[95] Gabbard criticized this as religious bigotry, saying that Christians would not be subject to such scrutiny based on their names.[96] The Intercept removed the sentence with an apology, saying that it was not intended "to question the motives of those political donors" and apologizing "for any such implication".[95]

FROM OLD BIO PAGE:

Gabbard supports a strong US-India relationship. She has repeatedly praised Indian prime minister Narendra Modi,[97][98]

She has said that the U.S. decision to deny a visa to Modi over allegations of his involvement in the 2002 Gujarat riotswas a "great blunder" as it could have undermined the US-India relationship (which she said was important especially in regard to the war on terrorism, among other reasons) had he used it as an excuse to reject a strong relationship with America.[97]

Gabbard also criticized the arrest of Indian consular officer Devyani Khobragade on charges of visa fraud and perjury.[98]

In 2013 she joined some of her colleagues on the House Foreign Affairs Committee in opposing a House resolution that called for "religious freedom and related human rights to be included in the United States-India Strategic Dialogue and for such issues to be raised directly with federal and state Indian government officials". The bill admonished India to protect "the rights and freedoms of religious minorities" and specifically referenced incidents of mass violence against India's Muslim minority that took place under Modi's watch. Gabbard justified her opposition by saying the resolution would weaken the friendship between India and the US and citing the bill's timing as interfering with India's elections, while emphasizing the need for US to stand for religious freedom. She later also said that "there was a lot of misinformation that surrounded the event in 2002."[99][97][100][101]

In an NDTV India interview, she was asked about her 2012 opponent's claim that electing a Hindu to the US Congress was incompatible with the US Constitution. She also responded to accusations that she was close to the Bharatiya Janata Party, denying any such proximity.[102]
