To all who like Tulsi, but question her viability,

I come across people online everyday who say they like Tulsi, but that they have to vote for someone who “has a path” or who “stands a chance.” “Maybe she’ll have better luck in 2024,” they say. Well, here’s the sad reality. 1/8

With that logic, the 2024 they’re imagining will never come. And nor will 2028. Why? Because the moment we write off the establishment’s biggest threat—the person whom the establishment works hardest to suppress—we finally fall victim into playing the game. 2/8

By being convinced by their narratives, we let the culmination of rigged polling, media censorship, engineered popularity, and outright discrimination control us into “choosing” a “safer” option—one that is more “likely to win.” 3/8

Throughout history, revolutions have been brought about, and none of them ever happened by the people playing it safe. People literally fought and died so that their sacrifices could be used to forge a new, greater path. Why? 4/8

Because it was necessary and because it was worth it. To enact real change, and undo a system that has become so fixed and so widespread in its entrenchment, requires nothing less than revolutionary-level commitment... 5/8

to take equally severe risks in the name of what is right.

If your loved ones were seconds from being killed, would you not follow your heart and instinct in doing everything you could to save them, no matter the risk? 6/8

Or, would you go look for a stranger to ask on the various ways to go about saving them in a safer manner?

If we do not vote based on the best representation of our principles—what we stand for, above all else—why vote? To do otherwise would be to act in servitude. 7/8

Finally, be it through a sense of scarcity or desperation, we must never prioritize “winning” at even the slightest cost to integrity. To forsake ourselves in the pursuit of victory ensures a scenario in which we always lose—by which the status quo revolves. 8/8
