Poor Tulsi Gabbard, stuck to US binary

Unlike in India, where party members, especially high-profile ones, rarely, if ever, leave one's party on ideological grounds.... Okay, lest you think we're downright ignorant, let's just say we're kidding and start over.

Like in India, where party members, especially high-profile ones, rarely, if ever, leave one's party on ideological grounds, in the US, we now have Tulsi G - not to be confused with Tulsiji of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi - leaving the Democratic Party. Tulsi Gabbard says she's tired of the party being under 'complete control of an elitist cabal' and is 'driven by cowardly wokeness'. For the former representative from Hawaii - one thing that connects her to another politician who wears Hawaii chappals and left the Congress to start her own party in West Bengal - Democratic Party politics has become way too politically correct. From our vantage point here in the land of Gabbar Singh, we certainly won't demur. So, we feel for Gabbard and understand her decision. As we do of every other politician who has jumped or will jump ship when feeling like a square peg in a round hole. But we feel especially bad for her since unlike here in India, in the US, it's just literally one party or the other. Perhaps she could consider moving to this part of the Indo-Pacific where she would have so many democratic parties to choose from.
