(*) Du fait qu&rsquo;elle obtenait un d\u00e9l\u00e9gu\u00e9 avec sa seconde place, Tulsi devenait invit\u00e9e d&rsquo;office pour le prochain d\u00e9bat des candidats puisque c&rsquo;est [c&rsquo;\u00e9tait] la condition d&rsquo;une participation.

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.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>This outcome surprised nobody, least of all Gabbard supporters. The blackout on the Tulsi 2020 campaign has reached such extreme heights this year that you now routinely see pundits saying things like there are  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/caitoz\/status\/1234273256099610624?s=20\">no more people of colour<\/a> in the race, or that Elisabeth Warren is the  <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TulsiGabbard\/status\/1234962318045278208?s=20\">only woman remaining<\/a>  in the primary. They&rsquo;re not just ignoring her, they&rsquo;re actually erasing her. They&rsquo;re weaving a whole alternative reality out of narrative in which she is literally, officially, no longer in the race.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>After Gabbard announced her presidential candidacy in January of last year I  <a href=\"https:\/\/caitlinjohnstone.com\/2019\/01\/14\/five-reasons-im-excited-about-tulsi-gabbards-candidacy\/\">wrote an article<\/a>  explaining that I was excited about her campaign because she would severely disrupt establishment narratives, and, for the remainder of 2019, that&rsquo;s exactly what she did. She spoke unauthorized truths about Syria, Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia, she drew attention to the plight of Julian Assange and Edward Snowden and said she&rsquo;d drop all charges against both men if elected, she destroyed the hawkish, jingoistic positions of fellow candidates on the debate stage and arguably single-handedly destroyed Kamala Harris&rsquo; run.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>The narrative managers had their hands full with her. The Russia smears were relentless, the fact that she met with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was brought up at every possible opportunity in every debate and interview, and she was scoffed at and derided at every turn.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>Now, in 2020, none of that is happening. There&rsquo;s a near-total media blackout on the Gabbard campaign, such that I now routinely encounter rank-and-file liberals on social media who tell me they honestly had no idea she&rsquo;s still running. She&rsquo;s been completely redacted out of the narrative matrix.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>So it&rsquo;s unsurprising that the DNC felt comfortable striding forward and openly announcing a change in the debate threshold literally the very moment Gabbard crossed it. These people understand narrative control, and they know full well that they have secured enough of it on the Tulsi Problem that they&rsquo;ll be able to brazenly rig her right off the stage without suffering any meaningful consequences.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>The establishment narrative warfare against Gabbard&rsquo;s campaign dwarfs anything we&rsquo;ve seen against Sanders, and the loathing and dismissal they&rsquo;ve been able to generate have severely hamstrung her run. It turns out that a presidential candidate can get away with talking about economic justice and plutocracy when it comes to domestic policy, and some light dissent on matters of foreign policy will be tolerated, but aggressively attacking the heart of the actual bipartisan foreign policy consensus will get you shut down, smeared and shunned like nothing else. This is partly because US presidents have a lot more authority over foreign affairs than domestic, and it&rsquo;s also because endless war is the glue which holds the empire together.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>And now they&rsquo;re working to install a corrupt, right-wing <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/@caityjohnstone\/dems-converge-around-dementia-addled-warmonger-ahead-of-super-tuesday-37f510044d15\"> warmongering dementia<\/a> patient as the party&rsquo;s nominee. And from the looks of the numbers I&rsquo;ve seen from Super Tuesday so far, it looks entirely likely that those manipulations will prove successful.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><p>All this means is that the machine is exposing its mechanics to the view of the mainstream public. Both the Gabbard campaign and the Sanders campaign have been useful primarily in this way; not because the establishment would ever let them actually become president, but because they force the unelected manipulators who really run things in the most powerful government on earth to show the public their box of dirty tricks.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><h4>Caitline Johnstone<\/h4><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La candidate-qui-n&rsquo;existait-pas 4 mars 2020 &ndash; Le sort de Tulsi Gabbard est peu ordinaire.
