Tulsi Gabbard, April 12, 1981 (Leloaloa, American Samoa) -
VP candidate for Independent Democrat (2016)
VP candidate for Free Soil Party (2020)
Running mate with nominee (2016): Bernard Sanders (b. 1941)
Running mate with nominee (2020): Douglas Scott van Raam (b. 1969)
Popular vote (2016): 79,341 (0.05%)
Popular vote (2020): ? (0.00%)
Electoral vote (2016, 2020): 0/538
The campaign (2016):
Some of the followers of Sen. Bernie Sanders refused to concede the Democratic nomination to Hillary Clinton and continued to campaign for the former candidate all the way to the general election. Sanders himself had somewhat tepidly and tardily endorsed Clinton.
Efforts were made by the "Sanderistas" to place Sanders on the ballot in a few states such as Vermont and Washington and deny either of the major candidates the 270 Electoral votes required to win. The idea was to give Sanders a third place finish so he would be one of the options for the US House when they would have to choose among the top three. And of course, the Bernie supporters reasoned, Sanders would be the only logical choice to break the gridlock.
As the Op Deny website wrote in their mission statement, "The Democratic party and Hillary Clinton cheated and stole the nomination from Bernie and the people who supported him. We do not want Hillary or Trump as President. Liars and cheaters (they both are) do not deserve to win. We support progressives and other parties. We believe more are needed in the future, to break the stranglehold of the 2 party system."
BernieVote.com had a focus on Vermont--
HOW WILL WRITING BERNIE SANDERS IN, POSSIBLY GET HIM ELECTED?
By The 12th amendment, if no candidate reaches 270, then the House chooses between top 3 winners.
Which could include Bernie, as 3rd choice, if he won just Vermont, and or other write in states
Such as, New Hampshire, Rhode island, Oregon, Washington, California, Iowa, etc
Each state delegation of reps gets one vote, and it will be the new house that decides.
Bernie will be the safe choice, and the house delegations are not as loyal as super delegates, and we believe they will pick Bernie.
USING THE TWELFTH AMENDMENT TO GET A PRESIDENT BERNIE SANDERS IS NOT A PROTEST VOTE, AND ELECTION ANALYSTS KNOW IT
Motivation
This is our LAST chance!!!
Bernie will NOT have a chance if we don't win Vermont.
Vermont is the ONLY state that we are guaranteed to win.
In Vermont Bernie beat Hillary 86% to 14%.
In Vermont Bernie got 115,000 votes, Hillary got 18,000 votes and Trump got 20,000 votes.
Right now in Vermont many Bernie supporters will either be voting for Hillary because they are afraid of Trump, or they will not be voting at all.
We MUST call them ALL and let them know that their votes both count, and they matter. The rest of the entire country NEEDS them to vote for Bernie and we MUST tell them.
In California, where the permission of the candidate was not required, Sanders was registered as a write-in with US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard as his running-mate.
An idiosyncratic and controversial Democrat representing Hawaii, Gabbard resigned her position as DNC vice chair in order to endorse Sanders' Presidential campaign, becoming one of the earliest members of Congress to do so. At the same time she was running for re-election.
Gabbard's anti-Gay policies of the past made some progressives wary. Also her involvement with the Science of Identity Foundation, considered a toxic group by cultbusting organizations, was another concern to some of the Sanders' activists. Considered a "Blue Dog" Democrat with libertarian leanings, Gabbard's ability to get under the skin of her party leaders appealed to an element of Trump's supporters. She was a frequent talking head on Fox News offering critical views of President Obama's foreign policy.
The Sanders/Gabbard ticket earned 0.56% of the vote in California. Even though they were write-in candidates they still impressively outpolled the La Riva/Banks Peace and Freedom Party ticket who were on the printed ballot.
A faithless Democratic Party Elector in Minnesota cast his vote for the Sanders/Gabbard team, but was "dismissed" and "excused" by the Secretary of State.
The campaign (2020):
Douglas "Dutch" van Raam, a stagehand and landscaper from Martinez, Calif. filed with the FEC for President under the banner of the Free Soil Party on Feb. 5, 2020. Something of a perennial candidate he had run for President in 2008 and 2012, the US House in 2014, and the US Senate in 2016. His favorite President was "Martin Van Buren because he was of Dutch descent and a founder of the Free Soil Party."
van Raam's platform included legalizing marijuana as well as industrial and agricultural hemp. He also supported expanding and upgrading America's rail transportation. In addition, van Raam was concerned about the future of water resources.
On his Facebook page, van Raam frequently made reference to Tulsi Gabbard as his running-mate, starting in April 2020 after Sanders dropped out of the race. He also used terms like "sheeple," "fake news" and "drinking the Kool-Aid" to describe mainstream voters and their behavior.
Some Facebook post samples of his political viewpoints during campaign 2020 uses terms that are consistent with the pseudo-legal "sovereign citizens" movement--

Slavery starts first by warring tribes probably non-white except English vs. Irish. The losers were collected and sold to the highest bidder which could have been any color buyer. The investor class created a berth or birth certificate so his "property" could be "insured" then put on a boat and "shipped". If the ship did not make it to port the "berth (or birth) certificates" of his "property" were how they got their insurance claims settled. So if you have a birth certificate instead of a record of living human being, then you are an economic slave owned by a Federal Reserve Banking Cartel that trades your certificates as future surities. The chains are mostly paper now but it's the same concept only slightly modified so that the stupid people do not figure it out. Lincoln gave us the 13th Amendment saying we could not be forced into slavery but we could always still consent to it ("by consent of the governed"). Then the 14th Amendment was unlawfully ratified saying you are born into "citizen-ship" (another "commercial" "shipping" term) before you even reach the age of consent. English is a slave language. Free humans are born free at home. Slaves are "delivered" (another commercial shipping term) in commerce, a.k.a. hospitals.

Here is my day after Independence Day rant for all y'all...
What is a slave? According to Constitution a slave is three fifths person. Did the government take the other two fifths from your paycheck before you received it?
Where you born "free" at home?
Or where you "delivered" in "commerce" at a "hospital" (originally a place where people went to die) and given a bank note slave certificate of birth as live stock commodity to be traded by your masters without you really knowing how or why?

i am reposting this message from July 6th for my dear friend Jo Jorgensen over at the Libertarian Party. i was about to comment how she would probably whoop my ass in this election after seeing she was born in a town called Libertyville. But one snafu is all it takes and she is getting slammed for going between what i said in this post by using three capital letters and that damned hashtag to piss people off.
Vote Free Soil Party 2020.
"If you say, "Black lives matter." then you believe in equity and know how to spell in proper English. If you say, "BLACK LIVES MATTER" then you only promote a fictitious business name that is linked to terrorist bullshit and are only in it for the money. It's simple linguistics. Learn to read. Anything spelled in all capital letters is dead fake. It's not English as English has zero allowance for all capital letters (which is why it will never be our national language) so it is considered to be "DOG LATIN" which may look like English words but spelled LIKE LATIN WORDS in all capital letters.
Vote Free Soil Party 2020 by writing out your candidate's name the way their mother spelled it. Do not check a box with a candidate's name in all capital letters next to it where the consent to the dead entity takes presidence over the living and implies your consent that you are dependent on them to do everything include spell for you. That puts you under their spell. It's witchcraft."

Sometimes i think people are completely oblivious to the fact that i am usually two steps ahead of them because they believe i am the one completely oblivious to the fact that their vibrations always reach me way before they themselves can...

Hey, peeps! Got a favor to ask. i need to find Jimmy McMillan and Marion Barry. The people really like those two human beings and Tulsi and i would like them to join our administration. If you know how to get ahold of them please tell them to contact me. Their country needs them!
Marion Barry died in 2014.
A couple days after the election, von Raam offered this cryptic Facebook post--
Dear Hollywood pedophile elite human traffickers and New York slave holders,
This real time scenario action movie of Russia versus China for the White House is amazing! These United States are diverse. It's the Russians and the Chinese that hate dark skinned people and use race to divide and conquer while spreading homosexuality at an alarming rate. 45 put a serious halt to your war provided global child f**k ring so you throw a tantrum and spread covid so nobody else gets to have any fun either??? Well, it's a good thing the human beings of Contra Costa allowed me passage from the Federal Reserve citizen ship to the geographical land location at 650 Pine Street, Martinez City, California as published so that Tulsi and i & i can start our own new city-state to rule the world. We are the only two actual "natural born" human beings in the 6020 Anno Lucis +4 (also known as 2020 A.D.) Presidential race whereas all the other candidates used their "legal fictions" and are disqualified as per the citizen rule book...
The New Amsterdam Order of Kamehameha with power accorded by the Bastard Sons of Martinez and hopefully the Kingdom of Hawai'i have assumed control.
This message brought to you as just another one of the many quality labor and custom services performed by Dutch Styles... And Sharpie...
Write out loud.
For her part, Gabbard had started her campaign for the Democratic Presidential nomination in Jan. 2019. On Mar. 2020 she dropped out of the running and endorsed Joe Biden.
Her Presidential campaign was a rocky one, and it seems most of her ire was aimed at the Democratic Party establishment rather than the Republicans. She sought to sue Hillary Clinton when the latter suggested Gabbard was an unwitting tool of the Russians. She also went after Google for suspending her advertising account. Gabbard's status as an outsider was confirmed when she was excluded from several DNC events, including not being invited to the national convention even though she had won a delegate.
Another factor that did not endear her to most Democrats was her lone "present" vote during the first Trump impeachment vote in Dec. 2019.
Gabbard's endorsements and co-endorsements reflect the unusual mixture of her political views. Included among her supporters: Mike Gravel, Dennis Kucinich, Ron Paul, Gary Johnson, Sean Ono Lennon, and David Duke. Gabbard rejected Duke's support in no uncertain terms.
The van Ramm/Gabbard ticket did not appear to be registered as write-ins in any state.
