Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI), who infamously blasted Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) on the 2020 primary debate stage last summer and went on to outlast her campaign by months and earn two delegates in the process, says she was not invited to attend the Democratic virtual convention this year.

I voted for her in the primaries. We have open primaries in this state.

That tells you right off who the outcast is.
She held their feet to the fire and made them all look bad during the primaries. Now she is paying the price. :-/

No, I don't think she's paid any price at all. It's the DNC that's going to pay. Trump should win again, and after that Of course Trump has to do well enough to over come the fraud. I wonder if we might have a situation where traditional D states vote for Trump while battleground states go for Biden. That could happen because the election fraud focuses on the battleground states and ignores solid blue states and grossly underestimate Trump support in those blue states., she'll be able to say "I told you so".
Tulsi is the Ron Paul of the Democrat party.

Trump will win the electoral college once again, possibly even the popular vote.
We the unwashed whites living in rural America have not changed our minds in four years.

I'm not concerned with the sentiment of voters. I'm concerned about fraud. There's an enormous amount of Deep State Trump-hating sentiment out there.

Fraud rarely occurs in rural America. When it does it is NOT on a scale to influence a national election.
Last election...Donald Trump won 3,084 of America's 3,141 counties in the 2016 presidential election; Hillary Clinton won just 57.
That was electoral college at work. Believing Biden will sway those of us in the outback is unreasonable.

Yes, and original too !
I thought she was someone that normal democrats could vote for in this election. Unlike Biden she's realistic and still breathing !

Yep. She is totally realistic.
I know a guy who is building Austrian-style .308 rifles. I asked him once, "Where did you get the money to start that business?"
He told me, "Good fellas."
He took a loan from the mob. He sells every rifle that comes off that line, and then some.
BTW, the Bearded Bandit was a bank robber in NW suburban Chicago. He shot a Palatine cop during a traffic stop.
A picture in the newspaper showed a picture of a Palatine cop carrying an MP-5 looking for the guy.
After they caught him they put him in the Federal lockup in the Dirksen Building in downtown Chicago.
A buddy of mine, his Dad was a Deputy U.S. Marshal. He killed he Bearded Bandit on the parking ramp of the Dirksen Building when he was trying to escape.
Jeffery Erickson was the Bearded Bandit. ;)

I certainly believe much of America will go for Trump, and that the county breakdowns are as described. However, the electoral college system does not work on a county by county basis, but on a state basis.
In 2000, the election between Bush and Gore came down to the single state of Florida, and the "hanging chads" of the computer punch card ballots in use at the time. Bush won Florida, and the presidency, by just a few thousand votes.
So it doesn't require vote fraud in thousands of counties across the USA. It only requires it in a few states, if the election is otherwise close. There is too much computer voting, and as a software guy, I can tell you that computer vote systems that lack any paper trail can not only be programmed to alter vote counts to favor one candidate, it can also erase itself from the system after the fact to completely and permanently eradicate all evidence that any such tampering ever took place. There has been sworn testimony that such things have happened.
Computers can be used with voting systems, but for security, there must be a way to ensure tampering doesn't occur. One way is to vote on a computer, after which the computer prints out a paper ballot with the voter's preferences indicated. That ballot can be reviewed by the voter and placed in a ballot box. That's the way to do it, but there is no legal mandate on how computer voting can be done.

Voter fraud in Chicago was a big deal. And there were many instances of ghost voters (dead people voting) or people who had moved.
When I was a Judge of Election (Republican) in Chicago, one of he Democrat Judges reset the voting machine and cast a straight Democrat ballot.
We caught her and had to deduct that one straight ballot across the board.
Of course the number of ballot applications had to match the number of ballots tallied. ;)

If there's enough vote fraud out there, where dead people & illegals vote, or there is fraud carried out in counting, it could happen. Elections stealing is rather common worldwide, and the US is no exception.
If you want, do a youtube search on voter fraud and scroll past all the stuff about mail in voting, Russian stuff, Trump and Barr, and you'll get to lots of accounts of it happening. If you don't believe it, fine, but it's one of many problems with the whole system of government.
