There are a lot of us that are trying to push hard against the ideological purity thing. You're going to see those sorts of attacks from the Bernie contingent (which is ironic) and the DSA types when it comes to other candidates. For Gabbard, it is less about ideological purity and more about questions on what her ideology actually is. There's a lot of right-wing in her, including her fondness for Modi of India, who is a right-wing nationalist.
