I have to keep reminding myself that Tulsi Gabbard is a monster because she also has not MAGAfied herself, plus I genuinely love her hair.

I’m spending my morning learning about the leader of the UK Green Party and someday-maybe future PM, who is:
-gay
-Jewish (+ from the same Mancunian community as my grandfather)
-a former actor and hypnotherapist
