One thing that I do is stick with an issue and what you do is pushing red herrings.  

Good bye. 

Seems like you stick with a misreading. But in an open forum you don't get to unilaterally decide where discussion goes or does not go. Your only option is to face the facts about your candidate--or run from them crying "red herring." 

Can't stop you from running. But I can make clear why you are.

We don't know what all Gabbard's "policies" are now because her politics are shifting.

We do know she thinks the Dems "weaponized" the DoJ, and that is one reason she chooses election deniers over people who would hold them accountable. That accountability she frames as an elitist restriction of free speech backed by the FBI.

The "red herring" now is posting statements articulated years ago, when she was still endorsing reasonable candidates, as if those can reliably represent her current "policies."  Does she still support a right to abortion if she endorses politicians who will deny that right? Will those election deniers back her call for a ban on assault weapons, or make sure that never happens? 

You want to minimize her colossal bad judgment and make her out as a normal, balanced politician with some policies favorable to both sides, but she is not "balanced" if she thinks that an FBI raid to retrieve stolen documents was Biden-directed persecution aimed at shutting down dissent.    Or perhaps you don't think her judgment is bad at all. You still haven't told me whether you think Biden was legitimately elected.

Here is a current Gabbard "policy" we do know: Aligning with Putin's rationale for war, she states that Ukraine is not really a democracy and so not worth defending. Biden is a "warmonger" for doing so. That would guide her voting if she were in Congress now, wouldn't it?  

Let's see if you discuss that policy. If you can't, then you were never really interested in her policies; 

rather, you were just trying to minimize the damage.
