Tulsi Gabbard never changed parties while in office. Hell, she was a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus until 2021. She didn't change parties until October of 2022

accusing its leadership of "cowardly wokeness, anti-white racism, [being] hostile to people of faith and spirituality, and dragging us closer to nuclear war"

And when you look at Israni's platform, it's nearly identical to Gavin Newsom's. Swalwell himself is a very neocon coded Democrat.

You can just... be in the Democratic Party as a Republican. It's fine. Jeffries and Schumer will let you do it.
