    I’m using Signal because I still hope I’ll be mistakenly invited to USA’s strike plans…

      I’ve been in Signal chats with Tulsi Gabbard’s staff.

      And no ofc it’s not that impressive. They used the app during the Dem Primary campaign trail so all the campaign volunteers used it to coordinate.

      Back then I thought she would be a charismatic Dem that could win against Trump – when none of the Dems (esp. not Biden IMO) seemed to have a chance.

      Back then she was inclusive with her political rhetoric. She was the only candidate on either side whose primary message was:

      Respect the other side as people, and try to understand their point of view

      OMFG I wish I’d hear that from politicians more often. Or ever.

      Please forgive me. I was like 9 years younger back then and Tulsi hadn’t gone MAGA.

        The problem is when you try to understand the other side, you have to hear them.

        There are a quite a few cases with anguished parents trying to move some loved child out of a sect (Scientology, the Family etc.) ending up brainwashed.
